![]() Once again, it helps speed up the pace of the game by allowing the player to scale walls without first having to switch to ball form. This ability replaces the Spider Ball, an ability first introduced in Metroid 2 that allows Samus to essentially do the same thing, but in morph ball form. One example is a tool called the Spider Magnet, which allows Samus to cling onto walls and ceilings to traverse gaps and reach higher ground. We also saw other abilities that used to belong to the morph ball now being repurposed by other tools. It really helps Samus maintain her momentum and it seems like a good fit for the faster pace of the game, but it also means that her signature morph ball has a lot less utility than it once did.īut that isn’t the only way the morph ball is getting marginalized. We saw Samus sliding under gaps to move between rooms, but we also saw her sliding down long ramps in small corridors rather than transforming into the morph ball to traverse them. Samus moves faster when sliding than she does in the morph ball, and it doesn't require multiple button inputs to first crouch down then to enter morph ball form. In the Tree House Live footage, we can see that the slide is doing a lot of the work that the morph ball would have done in previous entries. ![]() Related: Metroid Is Coming Full Circle With Alien In Dread MecurySteam is taking these improvements even further with new abilities in Metroid Dread like the dash counter, which allows Samus to melee counter without stopping, and the slide, which allows her to sneak past enemies and enter small corridors that previously would have only been accessible with the morph ball. These abilities allowed Samus to move quickly through the environment and take out any threats she might encounter with efficiency. Samus Returns took huge strides to modernize the series and make the action more fluid with the inclusion of features like manual aiming and melee counters. ![]() ![]() The studio behind Metroid Dread, MercurySteam, took its first stab at the series in 2017 with the 3DS Metroid 2 remake called Samus Returns. ![]()
