An '''upgrade''', or a '''Power Item''' in the original ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]'', is any advancement in technology or ability of [[Samus Aran|Samus]]. Upgrades are present in every ''[[Metroid (series)|Metroid]]'' game thus far. They are necessary to complete every game (with minor exceptions). Although most upgrades are weapons, such as the [[Ice Beam]], there are several other upgrades that enhance Samus's abilities. Most upgrades notably build on the [[Chozo]]-built Power Suit, since the Power Suit's versatility allows for easy upgrades. Upgrades allow Samus to progress, increase offensive or defensive capabilities, or both. | |||

It was built with the Chozo's highly advanced technology, allowing it to be augmented and function much more effectively than its basic form. It offers protection from the infinite vacuum of space, and can protect from falls of any height. It has basic armor covering all of Samus' vital areas and offers little protection against enemy damage. | ||

This suit provides additional protect that the Power Suit does not, including heat resistance. In some games, it offers a percentage of damage is reduced when wearing it. The Varia Suit also looks much different and is the standard from which all later suits are derived, including much larger shoulder spheres, more pronounced knee spikes, and includes the armor plate over the chest that makes it so recognizable by Metroid zealots. | ||

Featured in ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'', ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'', ''[[Super Metroid]]'', ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'' | Featured in ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'', ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'', ''[[Super Metroid]]'', ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'', and ''[[Metroid: Other M]]'', the Gravity Suit adds added protection that varies by game and negates the effects of hindered movement in liquid environments. It also clears the fog on the [[Combat Visor]] that's present in Prime and reduces damage . In Zero Mission and Super Metroid, the Gravity Suit also protects Samus against damage caused by lava or magma present in [[Norfair]] reduces damage taken by 50% and 25%, respectively. In Other M, it's referred to as the [[Gravity Suit|Gravity Feature]] and eliminates the effect of gravitational fields cause by [[Nightmare]] and present in Sector 2 as well as reducing damage taken by a whopping 75%. The suit appears just like the Varia Suit, except with a blue color scheme. In Other M, however, it appears as a purplish aura around Samus only present when a gravitational field is present, or when Samus is a liquid or vacuum environment. | ||
===Phazon Suit=== | ===Phazon Suit=== | ||
{{main|Phazon Suit}} | {{main|Phazon Suit}} | ||
Only in Prime, the Phazon Suit is the only suit acquired in the Prime subseries, sans the [[PED Suit]], that isn't in item form. Samus gains this upgrade when she defeats the [[Omega Pirate]] in the [[Phazon Mines]] and it collapses on top of her, infusing her Gravity Suit with the "unique Phazon" that was present in the Omega Pirate. The suit is physically the same as the Varia and Gravity suits, but with a jet black and red color scheme. In the Upgrades section of the Prime pause menu, it also shows Samus having a light-bending field around her. Along with 50% damage reduction, the suit also protects Samus against damage caused by Phazon and allows her to fire the [[Phazon Beam]] in the battle against [[Metroid Prime (specimen)|Metroid Prime]]. | |||
===Dark Suit=== | ===Dark Suit=== | ||
{{main|Dark Suit}} | {{main|Dark Suit}} | ||
Present in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'', the Dark Suit is a suit of armor | Present in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'', the Dark Suit is a suit of armor which was worn by [[A-Kul]] (AKA the "Champion of Aether") during the [[Luminoth]]'s war with the [[Ing]]. It reduces the caustic effects of [[Dark Aether]]'s atmospheric damage by 80%. It doesn't resist the effects of dark energy-based weaponry used against Samus. After [[A-Kul]] was defeated by the Ing in the [[Sky Temple Gateway]], the Ing stole her armor and placed it in the protection of [[Amorbis]] in the [[Dark Agon Temple]]. After being defeated by Samus, she gains the suit. Physically, the suit looks much more mechanical than the Varia Suit. The suit has what looks to be circuit board like lines on the suit. It also has a space for the [[Gravity Boost]] and [[Grapple Beam]], both of which are acquired later on in the game. It is Samus' primary suit throughout the entire game, as she uses it against all future boss battles, save for the [[Emperor Ing]] and the final battle with [[Dark Samus]] in the [[Sky Temple Gateway]]. | ||
===Light Suit=== | ===Light Suit=== | ||
{{main|Light Suit}} | {{main|Light Suit}} | ||
The Light Suit is only available in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]''. This suit is acquired after [[Samus Aran|Samus]] restores the [[Light of Aether]] to the [[Agon Wastes|Agon]], [[Torvus Bog|Torvus]], and [[Sanctuary Fortress|Sanctuary]] Temples in the light dimension of [[Aether]]. The Light Suit is the perfect marriage of the [[Chozo]]'s and [[Luminoth]]'s advanced technologies. Is is a much more streamlined suit with more speherical should spheres and humongous semi-circular knee spikes, all white a white and black color scheme. It has tiny holes all over it that allow for light to be emitted from it. The suit also can utilize the [[Light-Based Teleportation System]] that allows Samus to travel instantly between the [[Great Temple]] and the three subtemples on Aether. There are teleportation systems in variety of places on [[Aether]] and [[Dark Aether]]. The Light Suit fully resists the corrosive atmosphere of [[Dark Aether]] by 100%, but dark energy based attacks can still hurt her. It also resists the effects of the [[Ingstorm]]. | |||
===Fusion Suit=== | ===Fusion Suit=== | ||
{{main|Fusion Suit}} | {{main|Fusion Suit}} | ||
The Fusion Suit, available in ''[[Metroid Fusion]] | The Fusion Suit, available only in ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'', is a result of the removal of parts of Samus' Power Suit that are infected with the [[X-Parasite]] and [[Vaccine "Metroid"]]. It is the primary suit used in ''Fusion'' and has all original functionality of the Power Suit. Because it is less bulky, due to the removal of infected parts, Samus can climb onto ledges without the [[Power Grip]]. Due to [[Metroid (species)|Metroid]] DNA being in the suit, it inherits the Metroid's natural weakness to cold, which doesn't allow the suit to use the [[Ice Beam]]. Also, the [[Charge Beam]] also fires differently. | ||
===PED Suit=== | ===PED Suit=== | ||
{{main|Phazon Enhancement Device Suit|PED Suit}} | {{main|Phazon Enhancement Device Suit|PED Suit}} | ||
The PED Suit was given to Samus in ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'' by the doctors and scientists on [[Norion]] after the [[Space Pirate]] | The PED Suit was given to Samus in ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'' by the doctors and scientists on [[Norion]] after the [[Space Pirate|Space Pirates]], led by [[Dark Samus]], attacked the [[Galactic Federation]] base stationed there. After Samus, [[Rundas]], [[Ghor]], and [[Gandrayda]] were knocked out by Dark Samus and corrupted, Samus awakes one month later in a Galactic Federation infirmary, she was outfitted with the suit by the Galactic Federation scientists while they were repairing her damaged [[Varia Suit]]. The PED Suit takes advantage of the Hunters' ability to self-generate [[Phazon]] and give them immense offensive capabilities. The Suit injects one of Samus' [[Energy Tank|Energy Tanks]] and actives [[Hypermode]]. After 15 seconds of being in Hypermode, Samus will going into corrupted mode, in which Hypermode cannot be cancelled and she must exhaust all the Phazon of the current energy tank to avoid total corruption. Although, it does have a safety feature that makes [[Hypermode]] go inactive after 25 seconds to help alleviate the risk of total corruption. When Samus walks in a pool of Phazon, it replenishes her energy. The PED Suit appears like the Varia Suit, but with many pieces missing and replaces with Galactic Federation technology. The [[Arm Cannon]] also gain the ability to fire the [[Hyper Beam (Corruption)|Hyper Beam]] whilst in Hypermode. | ||
===Hazard Shield=== | ===Hazard Shield=== | ||
{{main|Hazard Shield}} | {{main|Hazard Shield}} | ||
The Hazard Shield is a piece of [[Space Pirate]] technology that protects the wearer from the environmental hazards. Samus gains this unit later on in the game and can be used to walk through the [[Acid Rain]] on the [[Pirate Homeworld]], as well as the [[Fuel Gel]] on [[Bryyo]]. It adds hexagonal-shaped shields on Samus' shoulders and chest. When Samus is in a hazard that shield protects her from, the Shield glows orange and shimmers. In Morph Ball mode, this is also apparent. | The Hazard Shield is a piece of [[Space Pirate]] technology that protects the wearer from the environmental hazards.

{{main|Zero Suit}} | {{main|Zero Suit}} | ||
The Zero Suit is a skin-tight singlet that Samus wear underneath her Power Suit. It is connected to her central nervous system, allowing her to activate and deactivate part, or whole, suit she has over it. The suit is affected by her mental state, when in distress, she loses her ability to control whether or not the suit is active, this apparent in her encounter with [[Ridley]] in ''[[Metroid: Other M]]''. The Suit is blue-hued and has high heels that still allow Samus to be as nimble as in the Power Suit. | The Zero Suit is a skin-tight singlet that Samus wear underneath her Power Suit.

====Charge Beam==== | ====Charge Beam==== | ||
Allows Samus to charge up her currently active beam to up to 10x the damage of one shot. It is accompanied by a visual cue that let's the player know it's fully charged. It can be used with all beams, minus the [[Phazon Beam]], including the [[Paralyzer]]. In the Primes, a sustained fully charged shot can act like a tractor beam, attracting power-ups into Samus. | |||

====Wave Beam==== | ====Wave Beam==== | ||
The Wave Beam travels through walls, transparent, and translucent objects. It is much more powerful than the Power Beam and, in [[Metroid Prime]], it shoots electrical energy and can be used to open Purple Doors on Tallon IV, as well as energize Power Conduits, homes in on enemies, overloads electrical enemies, and defeat [[Wave Trooper|Wave Troopers]]. In [[Metroid Fusion]], it allows the [[Arm Cannon]] to fire two types of beams to fire simultaneously. | |||

====Plasma Beam==== | ====Plasma Beam==== | ||
The Plasma Beam fires very powerful waves of energy that can travel through anything, walls, glass, and even enemies, allowing to hit multiple targets. It is Samus' most powerful conventional weapon in every appearance. In the Prime series, it fires molten energy that can set most enemies on fire, and even disintegrate some enemies. In Corruption, it can also be used more intricately to weld broken circuits to restore power to devices. | The Plasma Beam fires very powerful waves of energy that can travel through anything, walls, glass, and even enemies, allowing to hit multiple targets.

====Grapple Beam==== | ====Grapple Beam==== | ||
Not necessarily an offensive weapon, although it can be used as such in [[Super Metroid]], the Grapple Beam fires a rope-like beam of energy that Samus can use to swing and propel herself to ledges too far or high to jump. Only certain points are viable attachment points for the Grapple Beam. In Echoes, the Grapple Beam was stolen by the [[Ing]] when Samus followed [[Dark Samus]] through a [[Portal]] into [[Dark Aether]] and given to a [[Dark Grenchler]] that resides in the [[Crypt]]. Upon defeat, it drops the Grapple Beam and can be retaken into Samus' arsenal. | |||

Only | |||
====Spazer Beam==== | ====Spazer Beam==== | ||
Also widens Samus' beam shots and doesn't add any firepower. Although, in Other M, the Diffusion Beam functions the same as the Spazer Beam. It is replaced by other beams in every game that it's in. | |||
====Dark Beam==== | ====Dark Beam==== | ||
The Dark Beam is one of many items originally wielded by [[A-Kul]] during the Luminoth-Ing War. After failing to become useful to the Luminoth, they abandoned the Dark Beam expansion to focus on other ventures. It fires a rather large, spiral-shaped ball of dark energy. It is very useful against light enemies. The charged version is called the '''Entangler''' and can freeze enemies solid, similar to the [[Ice Beam]]. It can also nullify [[Light Beacon|Light Beacons]] and [[Light Crystal|Light Crystals]]. It can also activate [[Portal|Portals]] to [[Dark Aether]], activate [[Lift Crystal|Lift Crystals]], and overload light-based shield such as those on the [[Ingsmasher|Ingsmashers]]. | The Dark Beam is one of many items originally wielded by [[A-Kul]] during the Luminoth-Ing War.

====Light Beam==== | ====Light Beam==== | ||
The Light Beam was also wielded by [[A-Kul]] and was proven to be very effective against the Ing. Samus find this in the hands of [[Ing]]. It fires a stream of white-hot light energy and can set enemies on fire. The charged version is the '''Lightblast''' and fires like a shotgun, as one big blast. However, if locked on, all the shots will home in on the enemy. It can energize [[Lift Crystal]]s, [[Light Beacon]]s, and [[Light Crystal]]s temporarly. It can also overload dark-based shields on enemies and activate Portals to Aether. | The Light Beam was also wielded by [[A-Kul]] and was proven to be very effective against the Ing.

====Annihilator Beam==== | ====Annihilator Beam==== | ||
The most powerful weapon wielded by [[A-Kul]], it fires light and dark energy at the same time. It has a rate of fire comparable to the Power Beam and can home into enemies without even locking on them. [[Quadraxis]] guards this item, as it is incredibly prized by the [[Ing]], and it uses it against Samus in their battle in the [[Hive Temple]]. It can supercharge Crystals and Beacons that allure Ing to come into it's destructive field and kill them instnatly. The charged shot is the '''Disruptor'''. When paired with the [[Echo Visor]], it can also override [[Echo Key Beam System]]s. It can also energize Light and Dark Portals. Lastly, it can also overload shiels of light or dark polarity. | The most powerful weapon wielded by [[A-Kul]], it fires light and dark energy at the same time.

====Phazon Beam==== | ====Phazon Beam==== | ||
Only officially named the Phazon Beam in [[Metroid Prime]] during the [[Metroid Prime (specimen)|final boss fight]] when standing in a pool of liquid [[Phazon]]. The [[Arm Cannon]] becomes covered in Phazon veins and shoots out what appears to be eletrical rays of energy to damage enemies. It is vastly more powerful than any other weapon Samus possesses and can kill any enemy much faster and more efficiently. | |||
====Hyper Beam==== | ====Hyper Beam==== | ||
In [[Super Metroid]], when the [[Hatchling|Baby]] dies above Samus, it collapses on her and gives her the Hyper Beam that allows Samus to kill [[Mother Brain]]. It fires a rainbow-hued stream of energy that is immensely powerful. It is the only weapon capable of killing Mother Brain. In [[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]], when Samus enter Hyper Mode, she fires a very powerful beam that can kill any enemy faster and overload enemies with Phazon energy to damage them. It also can be charged in Corruption to fires and continuous stream of Phazon bullets for a few seconds until the charge wears off. | |||

It also allows [[Samus Aran|Samus]] to see Inter-dimensional Locks on [[Aether]]. It can be overloaded by immense amounts of dark energy or [[Phazon]] radiation. | ||

The Echo Visor is one of [[A-Kul]]'s original tools she carried during her days and was also used by the [[Luminoth]] to help their blind population see. It sends out sonic pulses that make the HUD appear in a monochromatic color scheme. Any objects in Samus' vista sends reverberations back to her, allowing her to navigate spaces while wearing it. When Samus shoots an enemy, it sends out orange pulses, letting her know that she did, in fact, make contact with the enemy. When paired with the [[Annihilator Beam]], it can also be used to override [[Echo Key Beam | The Echo Visor is one of [[A-Kul]]'s original tools she carried during her days and was also used by the [[Luminoth]] to help their blind population see.

The Command Visor is only present in [[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]. It allows Samus to remotely control her Gunship remotely, giving it a much more interactive role than before. It can be used to make the ship land, shoot [[Ship Missile|missiles]], and pick up massive objects. It is integral in assembling the [[Theronian Bomb]] on [[Elysia]] to destroy the [[Leviathan]]'s shield. | The Command Visor is only present in [[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]].
