What to use to destroy Cordite in Metroid Prime Remastered

The only way you can destroy Cordite in Metroid Prime Remastered is by using Super Missiles. By the time you come across Cordite, you have probably picked up the Super Missile from the Observatory earlier. Now, all you need to do is use it. To use the Super Missile, you just need to equip the Power Beam.

Press “X” and “↑” to select the Power Beam. Now, just charge up a shot by holding down “A” or “RL” and press “R” once the beam is fully charged. Doing this will shoot the Super Missile. Do this while aiming at the Cordite and you will instantly destroy it.
