I did not know that the Super Missile caused the Phantoon fight to be more difficult. Now I want to experience it without using them.

The Wrecked Ship is said to have been on Zebes for hundreds of years, so it doesn’t make any sense for it to be the mothership. It feels like the mothership was SUPPOSED to be the Wrecked Ship until they remembered that fact and reeled in the reference.

Phantoon’s entire body is vulnerable when it’s solid, not just its eye. You can also destroy the “Sputnik” enemies with the Charge Beam.
