|---|---|---|
The Metal Pirates will each make themselves vulnerable if Samus is on the set of three square blocks that the pirate centers its movement around. The best way to handle this changes depending on the category.
Any% KPDR
Two charged Plasma shots will kill the pirates once they become vulnerable, or a single shot each if the shot hits twice.
When you leave the room for the Plowerhouse Room, it's advantageous to have a shot charged in order to freeze the first Holtz in the next room. Angle up if you're on the ground, or shoot it straight if you're airborne.
Beginner
You can take each pirate one at a time, staying on their center of movement. The pirates are also vulnerable to uncharged Plasma shots, so you may find a charged shot plus three uncharged shots to be more convenient for this strat.
Intermediate
You can wait for the first pirate to jump, and then fire a shot that hits twice while manipulating the second pirate into its jump.
Optimal
The fastest method of killing the pirates is to manipulate both pirates into attacking, then use a single charge shot to hit one pirate twice and the other once, then use another charge shot to both finish off the remaining pirate, and open the door.
Any% PRKD
Since this category doesn't have Plasma and wants to preserve Super Missiles for the Ridley fight, the optimal strategy involves a shinespark to kill each pirate.
Low% Ice
This category uses three Super Missiles for each pirate.
