About
Samus' main distinguishing feature is her Power Suit, a modular suit of armor created for her by a fictional race called the Chozo. The Power Suit's main purpose is to protect her from adverse environments and enemy fire. During gameplay, the suit can be upgraded to various other forms for added protection, and receive various power-ups which augment her abilities, including Space Jump boots, energy tanks, the Screw Attack, and numerous modifications to her weapons.
Samus' gunship in Super MetroidFor transportation, Samus uses her distinctive gunship, which often looks like her helmet. She has had several gunships throughout the series, more than one of which has been described as a custom Hunter-class starship made especially for her by the Galactic Federation. The first appearance of Samus' gunship was in Metroid II: Return of Samus, and the differences in the gunship's design, with very few exceptions, have been cosmetic in nature. One exception to this is Metroid Fusion, as in the opening scene her ship is destroyed and she is given a radically different ship as a replacement. Another exception is in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, where her ship, noted like its predecessors as a custom Hunter-class, looks entirely different from the normal gunship that is seen in the Metroid games.
Like many protagonists of Nintendo's first party adventure games, Samus rarely speaks, although she provides written narratives in Super Metroid and Metroid: Zero Mission, has extensive written monologues and dialogues in Metroid Fusion, and has spoken taunts in Super Smash Bros. Brawl when wearing the Zero Suit.
