    I am COMPLETELY stuck in Super Metroid, and have been for the past two
    hours! Here's where I am: I've completely explored Crateria, and have
    about half of Brinstar in the pink. I've got the Super Missles (defeated that big plant-thing), a couple of energy tanks (found one in the old
    Metroid area on Brinstar, used the "multiple bomb" method to get up high enough to grab it), the morph-ball and the bombs (NOT the super-bomb,
    though I'd kill for it). Where can I go?

    There are a couple of areas I cannot get through for the life of me. The first is the long room running to the right, where if you run on the
    blocks they disappear and these big gates come down in front of you.
    Then there's another vertical area that it is simply impossible to get
    all the way up on (the triangle jump doesn't work because of ledges that
    stop you, and the multiple-bomb method not only blows up ledges, but
    doesn't stop those things flying from side to side from hitting you), and it's even impossible to get out of that area because of that gate you
    have to shoot to get in; I can find no way to get it back open from the
    other side.

    If somebody could please just drop me a hint, both I and my frustration
    would be eternally grateful.

    it's pretty simple tim; go one room below the room with the closing gates (the pink room that requires missles to open), and run to the right until you reach a wall that looks breakable, shoot the wall and pass through
    on the next room you wanna go ALL the way down, THERE you will see a green door, shoot a super missile to open it, and from there you can get to the rest of brinstar and make more progress
    make sure you're holding the run button while crossing the green bridge so the crumbling blocs don't take you with them!
    hope this heps
