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 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 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 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]]. It does not add any defensive properties.

 

 

 

 

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.
