Gel Cavern is a room in Bryyo Fire on Bryyo. It appears in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
Description[]
The room is a long corridor with two paths; one directing Samus to the Temple of Bryyo, the other leading to a shortcut to the Fiery Airdock. Numerous falls of raw Fuel Gel block Samus' path. Until she gets the Ice Missiles, she will have to wait for the gel to stop falling long enough for Samus to jump over the small pool that the falls pour into. There are always patches of spikes on either side of the falls.
Connecting rooms[]
- Cavern Entry (via Blue Door)
- Imperial Hall (via transportation shaft)

Development notes[]
The room's internal name is 0v_bryyo_gauntlet_b. The keyword bryyo indicates the planet Bryyo, and the prefix 0v indicates that this is the 22nd of 23 sets of junction room throughout the planet.
The internal prefix 0v is shared by a connected trio of rooms consisting of Cavern Entry (0v_bryyo_gauntlet_a), this room, and Temple Access (0v_bryyo_gauntlet_c). The keyword gauntlet probably references the function of this trio of rooms as a set of trials through which Samus must engage enemies and navigate obstacles to traverse from the last Save checkpoint at Save Station A to the Temple of Bryyo.
