Echo Visor

From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki

Samus using the Echo Visor.

The Echo Visor is one of the two visors exclusive to Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, the other one being the Dark Visor. It is found after Samus defeats Dark Samus in the Sanctuary Fortress. The Echo Visor is based upon echolocation and allows Samus to see sound waves by replacing her HUD with a monochromatic false-color representation. The visor must sometimes be used in the game in conjunction with the Annihilator Beam to disturb sonic locks, making the item critical in opening Echo Gates and defeating Quadraxis. It is used in the game's third fight with Dark Samus to see her while she is invisible.

[edit] Trivia

  • There is a Luminoth body in the Agon Wastes that may have an Echo Visor of its own; when scanned, the reading says that the Luminoth was blind but had a sound-detection device that let it "see" its surroundings.
