Zero Suit
| This article is about the Zero Suit itself, a suit worn by Samus at the end of Metroid: Zero Mission. For Zero Suit Samus, the character, see Zero Suit Samus. |
The Zero Suit is what Samus wears under her Power Suit and other suits. The suit was originally featured in Metroid: Zero Mission, which got its name from the additional portion of the game where Samus is only in her Zero Suit. The suit soon made a second, albeit brief, appearance in the 3D Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, released later the same year. The Zero Suit has been shown at least once in every Metroid game since Zero Mission. So far, the player has only been able to control the Zero Suit in Metroid: Zero Mission and Metroid: Other M. Super Smash Bros. Brawl also features Zero Suit Samus as a playable character.
The Zero Suit is a tight, full-body, blue suit with few markings over it. The suit is assumed to also have been built by the Chozo due to the Chozo-like symbol on its chest. It also has light red, glowing markings on it's back which seem to serve some purpose.
Prior to 2004, Samus had always been pictured in a bikini or in underwear when not wearing one of her suits or in the event of the suit exploding.
Metroid: Zero Mission
In Metroid: Zero Mission, only negative effects are apparent. Samus loses her previously gained abilities and crash lands in a Space Pirate base. She is left with nothing but her Zero Suit and the non-damaging Paralyzer. Although in Brawl Samus in her Zero Suit becomes more agile, in Zero Mission Samus loses many of her abilities and is no more agile than she was before. In fact, losing her Suit's jumping capabilities made her less able to reach certain heights. Samus stays in her Zero Suit until she fights the unnamed boss of Chozo origin.
Metroid: Other M
In Metroid: Other M, Samus deactivates her power suit upon locating Adam's helmet. She is then forced to escape the Bottle Ship without her Power Suit. She is again equipped with the Paralyzer, and she can slide underneath objects since she cannot use her Morph Ball. Once Samus is in her Zero Suit, she cannot regain her Power Suit.
Trivia
- In some games and in the Metroid Manga, Samus can absorb the Power Suit, as if it was biological matter. However, the fact that in Metroid: Zero Mission Samus was left with only the Zero Suit contradicts this.
