Samus Aran’s Fusion Suit is the result of radical alterations to her Power Suit during the opening scenes of Metroid Fusion. Its creation was an unexpected side effect of the surgical removal of certain parts of her armor and the Vaccine "Metroid" given to Samus when she was about to die from an X Parasite infection.

OriginsEdit

When Samus was attacked and incapacitated by the then-unknown X Parasites, the doctors treating her were unable to take off her Power Suit while she was unconscious. The organic parts of the suit had physically bonded with her, and the majority of it had to be surgically removed. However, this was not enough to save Samus, and she seemed close to death until the Federation administered Vaccine "Metroid", created from Metroid DNA. This destroyed the X within her but permanently altered her cellular makeup; however, the operation does not visibly alter her normal appearance apart from a slight darkening in skin tone, as is revealed during the final cutscenes upon completing Metroid Fusion and Samus' death sequence. Taking advantage of what was left of her original Power Suit, Samus immediately set out in her new 'Fusion Suit' to investigate X activity on a space station in orbit around SR388.

FeaturesEdit

As is tradition with the structure of Samus's suits, the Fusion Suit is bulky enough to obscure most details of her figure, even when in such a stripped-down state. The Fusion Suit has small hooks or claws on Samus’s free arm reminiscent of Metroid 'teeth' or the hooks on the arms of the Chozo; it also has three small purple spheres on the back that are similar to a Metroid's internal nuclei. This is also a feature on the Dark Suit, although in this case they resemble the eyes of the Amorbis. The helmet gains a Metroid-like appearance, with the sides looking like a standard Metroid's outer talons (or inner talons, if one considers their arrangement). Less sturdy and possessing weaker shielding than the Power Suit, the Fusion Suit takes heavier damage from enemy attacks and is initially unable to protect Samus from extreme cold, to which the Metroid vaccine has left her vulnerable. Another of the suit's weaknesses is the inability to use the Ice Beam, forcing Samus instead to rely on Ice Missiles, a technology she had not used since her final struggle against Dark Samus.

The Fusion Suit does have advantages, however. Working in conjunction with Samus’s new part-Metroid physiology, the suit allows her to safely absorb free-floating X to replenish both health and ammunition. The lighter construction allows Samus to grab ledges and hold on or pull herself up, something she was previously unable to accomplish in her suit without the Power Grip upgrade. Instead of adding hardware, the Fusion Suit can use specially prepared data to mimic her previous upgrades and abilities. Eventually, Samus restores the functionality of her old Varia and Gravity Suits; these upgrades are signified not by the familiar changes in physical dimensions, but rather by changes in the Fusion Suit’s color scheme. However, the suit's left hand remains blue when seen from behind the Arm Cannon.

During the climactic final battle against an Omega Metroid, Samus absorbs the Core-X from a fallen SA-X, restoring her DNA to its pre-vaccine state and causing the color scheme of the Fusion Suit to change one last time, now resembling her Varia Suit prior to its deconstruction. This new suit upgrade also grants Samus the use of the Ice Beam, returning her to the height of her power, allowing her to defeat the Omega Metroid and escape the doomed station. It is unknown whether Samus will be featured wearing the Fusion Suit in her next appearance, but it is likely that she will restore her Power Suit or Varia Suit as she has done in previous games.

Dark RidleyAdded by Dark Ridley

When Metroid Fusion and Metroid Prime are connected with a Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance Cable after Metroid Prime has been completed at least once, players are granted the option of playing Prime with Samus wearing her Fusion Suit. The change is purely superficial and does not affect gameplay, much like the Justin Bailey suit in the original Metroid. It also does not extend to Samus’s helmet interior and arm cannon, though Samus's eyes change from an intense, angered manner to a more calmed one when wearing the suit. When Samus acquires the Phazon Suit in this mode, it takes on the appearance of the final suit from Fusion, but with a blue visor instead of the actual green. In the New Play Control! and Metroid Prime Trilogy versions of Metroid Prime, the Fusion Suit is unlockable through the Credit system introduced in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. The Fusion Suit was modelled and skinned by Gene Kohler.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a Fusion Suit variation is available as an alternate costume for Samus. It does not change the shape of the suit, but merely recolors the Varia Suit to resemble the distinctive blue and yellow color scheme of the Fusion Suit.

In the Wii U minigame Battle Mii, the Fusion Suit is worn by a Mii as another Mii in the typical Varia Suit struggle to shoot down Samus' Gunship.

TrophyEdit

"During exploration of SR388, Samus is infected by an X parasite and nearly dies. A vaccine created from Metroid cells saves her, but her suit turns blue and loses most of its abilities and weapons. This new Samus must regather her special abilities and fight to neutralize the threat of the X parasites in the space station run by Biologic Space Laboratories."
