Hmmm... I'm farther than you in the game, I'm at a snow area (forgot the name)

Did you try to open some doors with the missile launcher? There is a door in an open area of Chozo Ruins that is locked and you'll need the missile to open it. Did you pass that part yet?

I dont remember any 'crash landing site.' Do you mean Samus's ship in the jungle?

Look at the map. Z button. It will show you where doors are located and what items are necessary for you to open it (possibly stuff you didn't have before). Dont' be zoomed out super far though or else the doors wont show up on the map.

If you look up on your map, where does it say you're located in the World Map? (press Z then press A)

The thermal suit is located in that level. Go find it. (Although it will do you no good because you need the grappling hook) ;)

I'm in the same level you are and doing the same stuff.

There are areas in Chozo Ruins that you haven't explored yet, to my assumption. If you look at your map (pressing Z), you can use your C stick to move around the entire Chozo Ruins. Find 'broken' blue doorways (doorways/gateways are colored blue in the map view) that you haven't gone thru yet. You do get the morph ball bomb and the upgraded suit in Chozo Ruins. There is one area in the ruins that is fairly tricky. You have to find your way up to the near top of the tree to locate a locked gate. You have to find and scan 4 symbols to open it. Have you done that yet?

I'm passed the Magmoor area (the lava area) and I still haven't gotten the grappling hook yet. I dont believe it will be available that early in the game. You dont need the grappling hook to get the thermal suit. You get the suit after you defeat the boss in Chozo Ruins.

I think the order of the items are: missle, morph ball, charge beam, morph ball bomb, thermal suit.

no I havent got the moprh ball bomb yet... and also not the upgraded suit.... where u get the morph ball bomb?? is it close to where u get morph ball???

hmmm there IS one area that I cannot get at the atrium (not sure what its called, but the big area where u can see birds fly at the sky)
but I thought I needed the high jump to get to that area

which area with the 4 symbol are u talkin about??? in the big open area or one of the enclosed area???

I think you need to get charge beam next if I remember right... charge beam is located in a room with water that hurts you. In that room there some mushrooms and "killer tree branches that pop out of holes and attack you" thingie with some platforms to jump on. In the end of that room you should see a gate locked by 4 symbols. If you use your scan and read the gate it'll tell you that it needs to be unlocked by locating 4 symbols in that room. The symbols are easy to find, as long as you dont leave that room you shouldnt have problem unlocking the gate. With the charge beam I believe you can get into one more pathway that you normally couldnt.... I need to fire up my Prime to find out.

I know exactly where you are at! You need to get the bombs for the ball... in the chozo ruins go to the room with the "wather pump" that doesn't work, it's a big tall room with a bunch of those mushrooms you can blow up... above the entrance to the room (the one by the water pump) is a ledge you can hop up onto, and proceed to climb the rest of the way up to the next room. Hope that helps

*Water pump
