Create a Metroid Upgrade

[Cappy]

Hoverball
After jumping in morphball form, you can this to hover. You can also drop special bombs that are affected by gravity but can break certain surface that regular bombs can't.

Bio Visor
This visor allows Samus to interact and communicate with the creatures of a planet. For example, she can call upon War Wasps to kill off larger enemies. She can also communicate with Metroids to attack Pirates or tell Sanddiggers to create tunnels through wreakage and debris. With all the enemies in the Metroid Universe, the possibilities are near endless. The Bio Visor is similar to the Command Visor, but you must scan a creature then see if that's the creature that can help you. If not, scan another. If it's what you think will help you, scan the object you question that the creature can help you with. An icon will then appear that will allow you to tell the creature to perform the task.

THAT'S COOL.

For flavor reasons, I would suggest that this only work on creatures that were created or modified by the chozo, or whoever it was that created the bio-visor.

[Naner]

Yeah, any creature is too much.

This item works in tandem with the bio-visor:


Thumper

Activate the thumper to attract burrowing creatures to your location. If used in a place with loose earth nearby, a group of underground predators will soon burst forth to investigate the sound. If used in a room full of enemies, you can count on at least some of the attracted creatures to go for the baddies. If the attracted creatures are bio-visor compatible, you can also command them directly.

Ball Turret

This upgrade allows Samus to fire a volley of five missiles in Morph Ball, one ahead, one back, one straight up, and one at each of the 45 degree angles. Though costly on ammo, this upgrade is useful for puzzles and some swarming enemies. The Ball Turret can be upgraded with Super Missiles.

Samus's Notes:

Position of the Ball Turret is crucial, or firing angles will be off. Select missiles while in ball mode, charge up a shot, and when the ball begins to flash, release the shot and the missiles will be fired off.

that's really friggin' cool.

Oh hey, what did some of you think about my Morph ball and Visor stack upgrades? Like, do you think they could work in a normal metroid game? (3D FPS style like prime)

Those morph ball upgrades would work much better in a 2D game, imo.

The visor thing should actually replace the switchable visors altogether. Think of the stackable beam system in Corruption.

[Taelin Aurel]

Sylux, that was what I was gonna say, but you beat me to the punch. The stackable visor would be pretty good. It would also be cool to have enemies that could overload certain visors like the way that those little blue bubble creatures on Prime 1 create static that affects the combat visor.

Pulse Discharge - This upgrade allows Samus to generate a destructive pulse in Morph Ball mode which is capable of damaging enemies, destroying terrain features, and activating Bomb Slots without waiting for a Bomb to be set and detonated. (Yes, I stole the idea from Orn.)

Pulse Shield - Similar to the Pulse Discharge, this upgrade surrounds the Morph Ball with a destructive energy field. Whenever the Morph Ball comes into contact with an enemy or a destructible terrain feature, the Morph Ball automatically releases a damaging pulse. This consumes Missile Ammo (2 Missiles for to destroy a terrain feature, 5 to deal damage to an enemy).

Claw Gauntlet

An upgrade for Samus' Fusion Suit, allowing her to use the serrated claws on her left arm as a melee weapon. Since Samus is not known for resorting to CQC, she merely makes an awkward swipe of her forearm. It's decent at tearing enemies to pieces, but it leaves her vulnerable, so it's best used in ambushes. On its own, the Claw Gauntlet isn't much, but once further upgrades are found, that's when it truly shines.

[Redwing]

Ah, that reminds me...

Fusion Leech

Unlock the true power of Samus' Metroid DNA with this pincer attachment, located on the left palm. If Samus is close enough, she can use it to grab an enemy and drain its life force, the same way a Metroid does. When combined with [unknown armor upgrade], she can pick up enemies like Space Pirates and use them as shields or throw them at other enemies, while constantly draining their life force. If any of the X survived the BSL incident, Samus can use the pincer on an X core to quickly drain its energy without wasting time or missiles.

Thumper

Dune, awesome film.
