Space Jump: Difference between revisions

The '''Space Jump''' is an ability featured in every 2D game except the first one, allowing to jump continuously in the air. In ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'' it can only be used after obtaining the [[Legendary Power Suit]]. When found, its description simply reads ''Unknown item'', similar to the [[Plasma Beam]] and the [[Gravity Suit]]. The theory is that these abilities are too old for [[Samus Aran|Samus's]] regular [[Power Suit]] so that they can't be read. The Space Jump is also featured in ''[[Metroid: Other M]]''. [[Samus Aran|Samus]] activated it on her own when chasing [[James Pierce|The Deleter]]. The [[Screw Attack]] is included with this upgrade. Samus can only use this upgrade to maintain her jump height, it does not allow her to gain any height unlike previous appearances.

In the ''[[Metroid Prime (series)|Prime]]'' games, the Space Jump appears as both the Space Jump Boots and [[Screw Attack]]. The Space Jump Boots upgrade allows Samus to jump a single additional time. This second jump is necessary to reach various areas. The Space Jump Boots upgrade is only obtainable in the first ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'', since later ''Prime'' games she has them equipped throughout the entire game. The Screw Attack, it can be argued, is a variation to the Space Jump, since Samus can jump up to seven times, unlike the usual two.
