Featured article

The Thermal Visor is a visor in Metroid Prime, and it is the only Visor that is exclusive to Metroid Prime (although several aspects of the Thermal Visor carried over to the Dark and X-Ray Visors of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, respectively). It is acquired in the Research Core in the Phendrana Drifts. The Thermal Visor uses thermography, allowing Samus Aran to locate enemies or objects by their heat signatures. It can be used to see Shadow Pirates and is also useful in dark places, extreme cold, and in poor weather conditions, like those in Phendrana Drifts; though it functions poorly in superheated areas, such as the Magmoor Caverns.
