The Gravity Suit is an upgrade that has appeared in many Metroid titles, first shown in Super Metroid. The function of the suit is to allow Samus Aran to move freely underwater, and in some cases, in lava. The suit also reduces damage taken by enemies.
Appearances
Super Metroid
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's Hideout, as well as acquire a few Missile Expansions and Energy Tanks. The suit reduces 25% of damage taken by enemies, and 75% combined with the Varia Suit.
Metroid Fusion
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.
Metroid: Zero Mission
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.
Metroid Prime
The Gravity Suit returns in Metroid Prime and is found in the Gravity Chamber in Phendrana Drifts. It retains the same function as the previous games and is required to explore the crashed Frigate Orpheon and get to Phazon Mines. The suit reduces damage by a mere but useful 20%.
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
The Gravity Suit does not appear in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, but a similar upgrade that serves the same purpose called the Gravity Boost can be obtained in Torvus Bog.
Trophy Info
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
- Samus (Gravity Suit):
- A Power Suit that provides even more damage protection than the Varia Suit. This Gravity Suit also allows Samus to move without water resistance when underwater. In most games in the series, this suit also blocks lava damage and friction. In addition, it allows Samus to use item bonuses like the High Jump, Space Jump, and Speed Booster, even when underwater or in lava.
Trivia
- 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.
