Hive Mecha is the first mini-boss in Chozo Ruins in which you fight during a natural route in the game. You would usually have to shoot War Wasps that are spawned via the mecha during each round, and then shoot its red eye for it to transition between each round. However, you can just skip it and grab the Missile Launcher.
An alternate dash method exists on Wii, which takes advantage of the firefly in [[Totem Access]].

#The R-Jump - An intermediate level technique, it does require space jump and a little practice. This is the fastest method.
The trigger that initiates the fight is just barely small enough to not cover the entirety of the platform. Therefore, with precise movement, it is possible to skip the fight by just walking past it.
#Drainage Beak - This is just jumping onto the drainage beak protruding from the wall. Very easy and faster than the scan dash. It does require space jump.
