Gah, stuck in Metroid Prime
Hey everyone. I've gotten to the boss deep down in the Phazon Mines called the Omega Pirate (37% done...this game is long!!). I've tried beating him several times and I know that if I keep at it, I will eventually. So in the mean time I've decided to start the game over. I'm near the beginning in the Chozo Ruins in a room called "Vault". There is a missle expansion in the middle of the room but is blocked by a large cage. On the back of the cage there is 3 switches that can be activated by laying a morph ball bomb in them. The two lower ones are blocked by metal gates which can be destroyed with morph ball bombs. The problem is the third, highest one. The second one in the middle can be reached with a morph ball jump but the third one is two high! How do I get up there? I've tried EVERYTHING!! 
I've tried looking at guides at gameFAQs.com and ALL of them say all you have to do is morph ball jump into them. Well the third one is obviously to high and so are the people who wrote those guides. 
Thanks from anyone who has the game and has figured this one out. I'd REALLY appreciate it.

and i'm not high.
morph into a ball, lay bombs. eventually you'll get your timing right so that as one blows you upward, one you've laid in the air goes off, sending you higher. then you roll into the third entry, and blow up the last grate.
Its easier if you attack him with the Plasma arm, then kill all his buddies with thier respective weapons then switch back to the regular gun and fire a super missle at him while he's re-forming.
worked for me, still hard though
