I always thought having to shoot 5 missiles in a row to open the red doors was dumb.

If you're an average player, you would try shooting it with a beam. Nothing happens. "Lemme try shooting a missile. Nothing happens. Try one more time. Still nothing. Okay, I guess I just can't open this door yet." Who would think to keep trying this thing that clearly isn't working?

I never got stuck but I can understand why someone might. :P

Back in the day there were instruction books that held such knowledge. Although if one has never played a Metroid game before and didn't have an instruction booklet I could see the confusion.

I mean, if a door was red, the beam wouldn't affect it, but missiles would have a visible flashing effect. it doesn't take rocket science to figure it out.

ok, well, maybe it does, technically, but it's really easy rocket science.
