The player is able to lock-on to targets, similar to the Z-Lock system introduced in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]''. Players can also use different visors to see differently. For example, the infrared visor is helpful when battling enemies that blend into their surroundings. | |
− | + | If the player has a [[Gameboy Advance]] and a copy of ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'', players can connect the two games. Connecting them unlocks the original ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]'' as well as the Fusion suit. | |
