I hate the first half of the Phazon Mines with every fibre of my being.

WOULD IT HAVE BEEN TOO HARD TO ADD A DAMN SAVE ROOM AFTER THE FIRST MINI-BOSS?

I swear, this part is so damn bad, the stretch between the first save room at the beginning and the one after the drone mini-boss (which is already a bullshit fight with how low your HP will be here) was already annoying in Normal Mode, but in Hard Mode it's making me grind my teeth.

Definitely a very low part of an otherwise amazing, stunning game.
