The Samus Screen, also known as Status Screen or Inventory Screen is a screen that shows Samus Aran's status and abilities. It was first featured in Super Metroid. The Inventory of other games is similar.

Usually, the Samus Screen depicts a holographic moving or still image of Samus, with several categories for her power-ups that point to various regions on her Power Suit, such as the Visors, Suits, Arm Cannon, Boots or miscellaneous items.

3-D appearancesEdit

Metroid Prime features Samus standing in the middle of the pause screen, with the left and right sides of the screen showing item categories and items themselves. In the Logbook section, she is replaced by the Chozo Artifacts, which show gold pieces to indicate collected artifacts, while blue pieces represent ones that have yet to be acquired. The Options menu replaces her with a spinning Nintendo GameCube or Wii depending on versions. Metroid Prime Hunters contained a 3-D rendered version of the Samus Screen, pictured above, although it was only available in her Gunship. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption 's inventory was also similar. The Samus Screen returns in Metroid: Other M, with Samus assuming different poses for different items.
