Energy Tank

Energy Tanks are collectible items that increase Samus's maximum energy by 100 units (one full bar). There are 8 Energy Tanks in total, significantly boosting Samus's survivability. These are crucial for enduring long stretches without save points and for surviving boss encounters. Always prioritize finding these when exploring.

Bombs

Bombs are an ability acquired with the Morph Ball. While in Morph Ball form, Samus can deploy small bombs that explode after a short delay. These are primarily used to destroy certain blocks, reveal hidden passages, and damage enemies. They are essential for uncovering many secrets and progressing through the environment.
