Missile Tank & Missile Tank+ Overview

Increases Max Capacity of Missiles

Missile Tanks and Missile+ Tanks are power ups that increase the maximum capacity of missiles that Samus can hold.

Located All Over the Map

Missile Tanks are located in different parts of the map and will usually require a puzzle to be solved to reach them. It is recommended that you pick up as many of these power ups as you can before going into a boss fight.

Missile Tanks vs. Missile+ Tanks

The only difference between these two types of upgrades is the number of missiles they add. Neither power up affects the damage of your missiles.

Shinespark Puzzles

Some items on this list require you to use the Speed Booster and Shinespark to solve complex puzzles. These puzzles will often take perfect timing, movement, and positioning in order obtain the Missile Tanks.
