| The '''Gravity Suit''' ('''Gravity Feature''' in ''[[Metroid: Other M]]'') is a [[Power Suit|suit]] upgrade that first appeared in ''[[Super Metroid]]'', although chronologically it first appeared in ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]''. It is a recurring upgrade throughout the ''[[Metroid (series)|Metroid]]'' series. The purpose of the Gravity Suit is to allow [[Samus Aran]] to move freely underwater, and in most cases, in magma or lava. The suit also reduces damage from enemies and the environment.

| | The suit's first appearance was in ''Super Metroid''. It is found in the [[Wrecked Ship]] after defeating [[Phantoon]]. It is required to explore [[Maridia]] and get to [[Ridley (area)|Ridley's Hideout]], as well as acquire a few [[Missile Expansion|Missile Expansions]] and [[Energy Tank|Energy Tanks]]. The suit reduces 25% of damage taken by enemies, and 75% combined with the [[Varia Suit]]. |

| | The Gravity Suit remains the same in ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'' and is very useful in the magma-infested Sector 3. Damage taken is reduced by 70% with the suit equipped. It also allows Samus to use the [[Speed Booster]] and [[Space Jump]] underwater. |

| The Gravity Suit reduces damage taken by only 50%, which alludes to the 50% damage reduction in ''[[Metroid]]'' upon acquiring the [[Varia Suit]]. Damage caused by any magma or lava are negated. It does not protect Samus from an unnamed liquid in [[Tourian]], which appears upon returning. The Gravity Suit is obtained from a [[Chozo Statue]] located in [[Chozodia]]. It remains inactive until Samus overcomes the [[Ruins Test]] in Chozodia. | | The suit once again remains exactly how it was in the previous titles, yet it reduces damage taken by only 50%. It does, however, remove all damage caused by any lava or acid appearing naturally. It does not defend against acid in [[Tourian]] if Samus returns to it, though. It is obtained on a [[Chozo Statue]] shortly before battling [[Ridley]], however Samus's suit cannot interact with this [[upgrade]]. It instead stores it, to later be unleashed along with the [[Legendary Power Suit]] upon defeating the [[Ruins Test]] in [[Chozodia]]. |

| The Gravity Suit returns in ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'' and is found in the [[Gravity Chamber]] in [[Phendrana Drifts]]. It retains the same function of moving through water unhindered, which is required to explore the crashed [[Frigate Orpheon]] to enter [[Phazon Mines]]. The Gravity Suit also increases the ability for underwater exploration by increasing Samus's [[Visor|Visor's]] ability to see further underwater. The suit reduces damage by a useful 20%. Samus is still vulnerable to magma, however. | | The Gravity Suit returns in ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'' and is found in the Gravity Chamber in [[Phendrana Drifts]].

| The Gravity Suit is located just outside of the [[Wrecked Ship]]. It can be acquired after the power is returned to the ship by defeating [[Phantoon]]. It is required to explore [[Maridia]] and [[Ridley (area)|Ridley's Hideout]]. The suit reduces 25% of damage taken by enemies, and 75% combined with the Varia Suit.

| Referred to as the Gravity Feature, which produces a purple aura around Samus when in use. The function is similar to that of the Gravity Suit in ''Super Metroid'', as it is very much the same upgrade, although it is unusual that Samus is affected by lava. Damage is reduced by 75%, and the effects of water and gravitational fields are negated. Samus first activates it when the module containing [[Sector Zero]] begins to detach from the [[Bottle Ship]], exposing Samus and the [[Zebesian]]s impeding her progress to the vacuum of space.

| The Gravity Suit remains the same in ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'' and is very useful in the magma-filled [[Sector 3 (PYR)]]. Damage taken is reduced by 70%. It also allows Samus to use the [[Speed Booster]] and [[Space Jump]] underwater and in magma.

| *The Gravity Suit is replaced by the [[Hazard Shield]] in ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''. It is interesting to point out that there is actually no water in the game besides rain. A liquid substance called [[Fuel Gel]] appears, but the enhancements with the Hazard Shield are not nearly as much as the Gravity Suit. | | *The Gravity Suit is replaced by the [[Hazard Shield]] in ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''.

| *[[Nightmare]] is fought twice in ''Other M'', the second time Samus is equipped with the Gravity Feature. Due to Nightmare's ability to refocus gravity, it is unknown why Samus did not activate the Gravity Feature during her first encounter with Nightmare or before their encounter in rooms where gravity was shifted.
