Located on [[Crateria]] after landing on Zebes, the Gunship has a similar function in ''Super Metroid'' as it does in ''Metroid II'', with a few added capabilities. Merely entering it causes Samus to replenish any depleted ammunition, energy, and to save her progress. After destroying [[Mother Brain]], Samus uses this ship to escape Zebes before its destruction. | Located on [[Crateria]] after landing on Zebes, the Gunship has a similar function in ''Super Metroid'' as it does in ''Metroid II'', with a few added capabilities.

Samus's gunship lands on [[Aether]] after Samus receives a distress signal from the planet. As she approaches the surface, the unstable atmosphere damages the ship. Throughout the game, Samus's ship remains in [[Temple Grounds]]' [[Landing Site]].

Samus's gunship lands on [[Aether]] after Samus receives a distress signal from the planet. As she approaches the surface, the unstable atmosphere damages the ship. Throughout the game, Samus's ship remains in [[Temple Grounds]]' [[Landing Site]], undergoing automatic repairs.<ref>{{cite|Your ship has been damaged.

After defeating [[Dark Samus]] in [[Sky Temple Gateway]], Samus returns to Aether and leaves in her gunship. Though the Ship is programmed with a [[Gallery:Samus_Aran%27s_Gunship#Original_Ship|visible interior]], it cannot be interacted with at any point in the game. | |||

''[[Metroid: Other M]]'' also features the classic ship. The ship is used by Samus in opening scenes and is used to reach the [[Bottle Ship]]. Unlike other games, Samus cannot use the ship to save or refill her energy reserves or any of her weaponry. Unlike ''Corruption'', ''Other M's'' gunship holds a highly inactive role. It sits parked aboard a Bottle Ship landing site. The controls used for this ship appear different from those of any other gunship; it is controlled via a spherical mechanism similar to a {{wp|Mouse (computing)|mouse}}. Samus leaves the Bottle Ship on her gunship after defeating the [[Metroid Queen]] and returns to retrieve [[Adam Malkovich|Adam's]] helmet. She then escapes again as the Bottle Ship is on the verge of destruction. | ''[[Metroid: Other M]]'' also features the classic ship.

This design of the gunship appears briefly in the opening scenes of ''Metroid Fusion''. As Samus maneuvers it alongside the [[Biologic Space Labs Research Station|B.S.L station]], the [[X Parasite|X parasites]] inside her body begin taking over her body and make her lose consciousness. The ship then veers off into an asteroid belt.<ref>{{cite|Once the X had infested my central nervous system, I lost consciousness and my ship drifted into an asteroid belt.|[[Samus Aran]]|[[Metroid Fusion]]}}</ref> The ship's safety measures, however, manage to eject Samus within an [[Escape Pod|escape pod]], which [[Biologic Space Labs|B.S.L]] researchers later find.

After Samus's first gunship is destroyed on an asteroid belt in ''Fusion's'' opening, Samus's ship was replaced by a violet ship. This ship contains an internal computer later revealed to be [[Adam Malkovich]]. Samus uses this ship to land on the B.S.L Station and can return to it at any time. | After Samus's first gunship is destroyed on an asteroid belt in ''Fusion's'' opening, Samus's ship was replaced by a violet ship.

At ''Fusion's'' end, Samus returns to the ship after setting the B.S.L station on a collision course to [[SR388]]. As Samus reaches the landing pad, however, Samus ship is not there; instead an [[Omega Metroid]] that escaped from [[Restricted Zone]] is there stopping Samus in her tracks. After defeating the beast, Samus's ship pulls up to the landing pad and Samus can escape. The ship contains within it the [[Dachora]] and [[Etecoon]] that Samus had rescued earlier in the game. | At ''Fusion's'' end, Samus returns to the ship after setting the B.S.L station on a collision course to [[SR388]].

====Metroid Dread==== | |||
The ship reappears in ''[[Metroid Dread]]'', appearing in the intro and ending cutscenes, as well as being the primary objective of the game. After landing on [[ZDR]] with the ship and subsequently being stranded at the planet's depths by [[Raven Beak]], Samus must make her way back to the surface in order to get to the ship and escape. | |||
When Samus gets to the ship at the end of the game, ADAM warns Samus not to touch the ship since she'll drain it of its power, thanks to her [[Metroid Suit|newfound Metroid powers]]. She then notices an X mimicking [[Quiet Robe]] standing behind her, who lets her absorb it, giving her control over her Metroid powers and allowing her to pilot the ship and escape ZDR as it explodes. | |||
