Space Jump

From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki

space jump
The Space Jump upgrade, as seen in Super Metroid.

The Space Jump is a highly advanced Chozo-designed movement system. It is an ancient upgrade for the Power Suit, and is first discovered by Samus Aran during the events of Metroid: Zero Mission.

A variant of it exists in the Space Jump Boots and the High Jump Boots.

[edit] Functionality

The Space Jump is a highly advanced movement system that gives the Power Suit the ability to continually Spin Jump into the air. The Spin Jump generated by this upgrade is extremely quick-- Samus's crouched appearance during these is blurred due to the extreme speed that she is spinning at. Samus can scale any height with this upgrade, and in combination with the Screw Attack, this upgrade becomes a deadly weapon.

[edit] Non 2-D appearances

The Space Jump appeared as space jump boots in Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Space Jump Boots were obtainable in Metroid Prime: Hunters through an Action Replay cheat code. In this form, rather than allowing the player to jump continuously, these space jump boots allowed Samus to perform a double jump, as well as a double strafe. However, the functionality of the original Space Jump is somewhat retained in the Screw Attack in Metroid Prime 2 and 3.
