Bioenergy Production is a room located in the Pirate Labs portion of Agon Wastes in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It contains an Energy Tank and consists of a large open space with three sets of containers in the middle. After defeating the flying pirates in the room, you are able to raise the containers from the floor and stack them to the desired position in order to leave the room. Additionally, there is a set of Spider Ball tracks that leads to Storage C, which requires Super Missiles to unlock. There is also a Secret World that requires Screw Attack.

General Overview

There is a trigger that locks the room near the door that connects to Security Station A. While the other doors will remain unlocked, this can present problems if trying to progress the room backwards. It is possible to avoid touching this trigger by hugging the area near the door, but if that fails then the pirates must be killed in order to progress. This cannot be done if the pirates have already been killed, in which case the only way to progress is by reloading the room.

Puzzle Skip

This is one of the easiest sequence breaks one can do, allowing Samus to get to Ventilation Area B early. Simply lower the middle set of containers once and the left set twice, then jump to the standable spot on the edge of the platform.

Storage C Without Spider

It is possible to get to the door leading to Storage C early without Spider Ball. There are a number of different methods to do this.

Dash Jump Method

Dashing from the top of the highest set of containers will allow Samus to jump to the door. An extended dash will also work.

Roll Jump Method

By lowering one set of containers twice and lowering the other two three times, you can roll jump onto the containers without needing to adjust their position afterwards.

No Space Jump

Each area on the upper level can be accessed without the Space Jump Boots, provided you have a way to get on top of the containers.

Extended Dash Method

Similar to the way to get to Storage C without Spider, except an extended dash is required to get the necessary speed.

Screw Attack Method

If you have Screw Attack, this method is easier to perform.

Secret World

By performing a Screw Attack into the morph ball-sized corridors that the Spider Ball tracks lead to, it is possible to get out of bounds.
