Suit Upgrades:
- Varia Suit: Reduces damage taken from high temperatures and lava. Authorized when entering hot environments.
- Gravity Suit: Further reduces damage from extreme temperatures and allows free movement in water without being slowed down. Authorized for underwater sectors.
Movement Upgrades:
- Morph Ball: Transforms Samus into a small sphere, allowing access to tight passages and deployment of bombs.
- Space Jump: Allows Samus to perform multiple jumps in mid-air, granting significant vertical mobility. Essential for reaching high ledges.
- Screw Attack: Grants invincibility during a spinning jump and damages enemies on contact. A powerful offensive and defensive movement ability.
These upgrades are often authorized just before you need them to progress through a specific area. Pay attention to Adam's authorizations, as they directly impact your ability to explore and survive.
