After Samus falls through the Pit Blocks and moves to the end of the room, the Golden Torizo will fall out of a hidden compartment in the ceiling. It will land right in front of the door -- so move out the way -- and will proceed to stand up and change its hue. Its green-colored abdomen is the vulnerable region, just like for the previous Torizo, but this time, the Golden Torizo can dodge all standard Missiles and even catch a Super Missile in midair and toss the explosives back at Samus. Since the Torizo can only hold one missile at a time, it can’t defend itself from a steady barrage of them, however this makes Charge Beam attacks (preferably with Plasma Beam configurations) a much more effective strategy.
The Torizo will walk back and forth, occasionally hopping forward or backwards, and mix in a variety of short range or long range energy attacks. Use the Space Jump ability to somersault and leap over its attacks, and continue to fire fully charged shots at its abdomen. This can be done from a distance, but it can also be highly effective to do this at point blank range. The latter method can be even more effective, due to a glitch in the Torizo’s jumping ability. The Torizo will turn darker shades as it receives more damage.
