X-Ray Scope: Difference between revisions

The '''X-Ray Scope''' is an item used by [[Samus Aran]] in ''[[Super Metroid]]''. Samus obtains it in [[Brinstar]] at the end of a large dark room. She requires the [[Grapple Beam]] to obtain the X-Ray Scope. When used, it allows Samus to see the composition of objects. This allows her to see hidden passageways and hidden breakable blocks. It has its own item selection block on the top of the screen. As this item only assists in finding hidden things, it is not required to beat the game, but it is quite helpful. Its function seems similar to that of [[Visor]]s, but it is not referred to as such. It is further similar to the [[Metroid Prime (series)|''Prime'' series']] [[X-Ray Visor]]. Worthy of note is that Samus is rendered immobile while using the X-Ray Scope, an effect not expressed in the use of any other item.
