LOL the room he was stuck in has a wiki article:
Jaffe Room
The "Jaffe Room" is an unofficially named room in Artaria. It appears in Metroid Dread. The Jaffe Room is a large chamber in the upper right corner of Artaria, and the first in the thermal energy region that is near Cataris. It is of primarily artificial construction. Curved red pipes are...

All he had to do was shoot the ceiling (something the game hinted at prior to arriving here, and the room itself hints at it with enemies right above it)

Boss Rush Mode is going to be a lot of fun.
Rookie mode is also really nice for those who want a more laid back experience. Hopefully it also gives Samus a little more defense. I feel like the HP restore buff alone won't be enough.
EDIT: Its good to see bosses doing reduced damage in Rookie mode! It'll make casual plays much more relaxing.

Detailed description of Rookie Mode

I checked last night and unfortunately I could not
Also, I forgot to save a screenshot, but when choosing Rookie Mode in a new game, the description states that healing items heal for more and boss damage is reduced.
edit- this is confirmed in this IGN article:
Dread Mode and Rookie Mode - Metroid Dread Guide - IGN
On February 9th, 2022, Nintendo updated Metroid Dread with two new game modes for free - Dread Mode, and Rookie Mode. These will drastically alter the
Looking forwards to the Boss Rush mode. I may give Dread mode a try, I do take a lot of hits on any normal playthough sooooo I feel like I'm gonna have a rough time. Definitely will do sequence breaking to avoid the Specimen fight, that's always hardest for me.
The difficulty being locked at the file creation has always been in Metroids IIRC. You're locked into a difficulty once you start the game. Unfortunate, but maybe they're afraid that it might lead to more bugs since the game wasn't designed with it in mind?
Either way I'm just glad it has a more accessible mode.

Nothing wrong with tour statements, as I've gotten older most games I just want to playthrough and enjoy. If I want to play something more challenging I will adjust difficulty myself.
It's so outdated. Many games allow on-the-fly difficulty changes.
Nah, unfortunately rookie mode doesn't tell you where the breakable blocks are :p
Woohoo! Rookie mode, now maybe I can carry on and enjoy it rather than having to look up how to beat everything and still take foreve-
...I have to start over?
Okay, back to the bottom of the pile you go, maybe I'll have summoned the desire to do that in 5 years time or something.

yeah, i literally stopped the game at the final boss...if i can just change it to complete the game that would be great
edit: now after looking at the thread....you can't do this? ugh....
Rookie mode, but I have to start again, and I'm maybe 2/3rds through. I see my people in the thread. Sigh.
...I see that I'll just continue to pretend I beat the game when I looked up the ending online then 😅
LOL, just wait till your kid's here!
I have a 3-month old, and I'm lucky to get 1 hour of gaming a week, with no more than 15 consecutive minutes at time.
Little dude's in my arms now as I type this single-handed.
Outside of a few spots in the overworld, the only trouble areas were some boss encounters. The second (kraid) being the worst for me due to the more random nature of their projectiles. It is much more doable than one would think, especially since most environmental damage isn't ohko.
Yep. "They spent dev time on something I don't care about? Dumb."
Boss rush mode is pretty cool. Why would you add Rookie mode this late and not give people the chance to switch midgame?
Big congrats! You've both emboldened me to give it a try on my next playthrough
