M4 art Samus ladder

Samus hanging from a ceiling ladder.

Ladders are found on the Biologic Space Laboratories research station. In Metroid Fusion, ladders are always bars protruding from a surface. They can be climbed as well as jumped and fired from on both walls and ceilings.

Official Data[]

Metroid Fusion manual[]

LADDERS
"Samus can grab on to ladders by facing and jumping toward them.
To let go of a ladder, use the +Control Pad to choose a direction and then press the A Button. Samus will always do a Spin Jump off ladders.
To shoot while on ladders, use the +Control Pad to aim and press the B Button."

Trivia[]

  • Exactly how Samus climbs the ladder with one hand and the Arm Cannon is unknown. In Metroid Fusion, whenever Samus's sprite would display the Arm Cannon holding on to a ladder, she will always quickly adjust herself so that she is hanging on to a ladder with her left hand. This is easily seen on horizontal ladders, where the sprite will rapidly advance frames to apply the proper hanging position.
  • Samus is also able to climb and slide down ladders in Super Smash Bros. Brawl in both her Zero Suit and Varia Suit, but cannot fire from them.
  • Ladders also appear in Metroid: Other M (such as in the slender walkway), however, they are part of the scenery and cannot be used by Samus.
  • Blue magnetic strips in Metroid Dread play a similar role to ladders, although they require the Spider Magnet to use.
