| Gravity Suit |
The Gravity Suit was an upgrade to Samus's Power Suit that eliminated the effects of liquid on movement and increased defensive shielding. However, the Gravity Suit did not reduce damage delivered when exposed to hazardous fluids. In Metroid Prime (GC), visor modifications in the Gravity Suit made it easier to see underwater.

| Metroid Hatchling |
After defeating the Queen Metroid on the Planet SR388, Samus witnessed the hatching of a Metroid larva. However, not even this iron-clad bounty hunteress could destroy the Metroid larva, which clung to Samus as if she were her mother. The larva was delivered to the Space Science Academy on the Galactic Federation Space Colony for scientific study.

| Morph Ball Bomb |
The Morph Ball Bomb was the default weapon for the Morph Ball. The Morph Ball Bomb could be used to break cracked walls and activate certain devices. If the Morph Ball is near a Morph Ball Bomb when it explodes, it will be popped a short distance into the air. This is called a Bomb Jump. When a Morph Ball Bomb explodes, it must be close to the enemy to be effective.

| Power Suit |
The Power Suit is an advanced Chozo exoskeleton modified for use by Samus Aran. The Power Suit provides life-support functions and is well shielded from attack. The modular nature of the Power Suit allows for the addition of weapons, Visors, and other gear as needed. The Power Suit's shielding loses energy with each hit; the collection of energy kept the shielding charged.

| Space Jump |
The Space Jump Boots increased the leaping capability of the Power Suit through the use of boot-mounted thrusters. In most of the Metroid games, Samus could jump continuously in the air and fly through open areas.

| Varia Suit |
The Varia Suit was an upgrade to Samus's Power Suit that increased heat resistance and defense shielding. While the Varia Suit could handle higher temperatures than normal, extreme heat sources and heat-based attacks would still cause damage to Samus.
