Items

High jump boots: This ability makes Samus jump much higher to get to unreachable spots.

Space jump: This ability makes you jump constantly and even higher.

Morph ball: This is also one of my favorite abilities in Metroid games. The morph ball turns Samus curled up in a ball so she could go through tight places.

Morph Ball bombs: This is a upgrade you can get with the morph ball. You can drop bombs that blow up weak spots after about 2 seconds. With the bombs, you an also have a brief little jump to higher areas.

Morph Ball Power bombs: Even a greater bomb upgrade, making bright explosion that blows more things up.

Spring Ball: This makes the morph ball jump higher.

Spider Ball: This upgrade makes the morph ball magnetically charged to some walls, so you can go up to even taller areas. Only available in Metroid 2 and Metroid Prime

Speed Booster: This makes Samus dash so fast until she becomes a blue streak of unstoppable power that's able to disintegrate anything in her path that.....oh whatever.

Screw attack: This attack makes your space jump damage enemies. Very powerful it is.

X-Ray: The ability lets you scan walls, and how to destroy them. In Prime, it's used for a visor.

Grapple Beam: This lets you swing like a monkey over dangerous places or places you can't get through just by running through it.
