Zero Suit Samus
All the Zero Suit Samus’ based off official art/renders/sprites from the games in low poly form~
Took a while to do all the hair styles and textures.
The Justine Baily suit and colors is my favorite :D

Samus Aran is wearing her Zero Suit in the Chozo Ruins on Planet Zebes, as seen in Metroid: Zero Mission. This is a reimagining of the epilogue in the game after she crash lands on the surface and temporarily loses access to her armor. She must use stealth tactics to avoid the space pirates until she finds the hidden Chozo artifact, which provides her with a fully realized power suit.
Metroid Dread Reimagined As Album Cover?
For the text version of my new video about the many influences of Metroid (among other things, I discovered an earlier character in a Japanese publication named “Samus”!), I modified a screenshot from the game to look super dramatic. Kind of looks like a textless album cover?
Local metroid still can’t crawl, please send help

I haven’t been keeping up with stream updates lately, since I was so excited about the release of Metroid Dread. So now that the game has been out a week, I should point out: this game is very good! I have been spending lots of time on it! If you would like to watch my first reactions to the game on release day, you can check out the stream archive linked above.
I won’t be recording the rest of the game right now, but I have been revisiting it on stream, so feel free to drop by at my usual stream times if you’d like to see me pick apart the game world and learn all the secret routes the developers have so kindly included for us.
Hey you! Heard about the sweet new Metroid game coming out? Curious about the series? Ever wanted to see what it’s about? Well you’re in luck because I’m doing a crash course of the whole Metroid series LIVE on stream. If you’re new to the series and you wanna get caught up, or you’re an old fan who just wants to relive everything before the new game, you won’t want to miss this event!
We’ll be playing through all six games in the 2D Metroid series in release order:
- Metroid (NES)
- Metroid II: Return of Samus (GB)
- Super Metroid (SNES)
- Metroid Fusion (GBA)
- Metroid: Zero Mission (GBA) (Remake of Metroid for the NES)
- Metroid: Samus Returns (3DS) (Remake of Metroid II for the Gameboy)
Additionally, I’ll be streaming Metroid Dread on release day, so that’s something to look forward to. The streams will follow my normal schedule of Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 1pm-4pm EDT.
If you’re interested, here are some ways you can stay up to date:
Follow me on Twitch so you’ll be notified when I go live
Check out my YouTube as I’ll be uploading the stream archives there
- Reblog this post to spread the word!
The event starts on Monday, September 6. See you all then! I’ve been looking forward to playing all these games ever since Dread was announced, so I hope you’ll enjoy them with me.

Well, okay, it’s a machine. It’s made of metal and it runs on a computer system. But it’s a highly sophisticated piece of technology that can change and adapt like a living thing. Sometimes it seems to have a mind of its own.
Recently, Nintendo published an article on the Metroid Dread website, explaining how the current appearance of Samus’ suit came to be:
In the Metroid Dread game, Samus’s suit appears to have changed quite a bit from her previous missions. In the Metroid Fusion game, Samus’ suit was greatly transformed after the emergency removal of pieces eroded by the X parasite and a life-saving injection of the Metroid vaccine—resulting in an organic appearance for her suit. Now, her suit is gradually returning to its original, mechanical Power Suit form.
My first thought upon seeing the Dread suit was that perhaps Samus was manually augmenting her suit, seeking out Chozo technology and trying to piece it back together. The wording is vague and that could still be the case, but the official source implies that the power suit is changing all on its own.
This makes a lot of sense when you think of all the other ways the power suit has adapted on its own, assimilating foreign agents and changing in ways it was never designed to. The creation of the Fusion suit itself is perhaps the most drastic example of this– when Samus’ power suit had to be surgically removed, it seems to have organically produced an entire new suit to protect her, making use of the Metroid DNA she was injected with.
Another example would be the creation of the Phazon Suit in Metroid Prime. When the dying Omega Pirate crushed her and pumped her full of deadly phazon, the power suit spontaneously made use of this lethal situation and developed a defense against phazon. It sure seems like the power suit can adapt very quickly to protect its user from danger.
This doesn’t even begin to cover all the foreign upgrades the power suit has made use of with ease. The Luminoth dark and light suits, the Federation PED device, the Space Pirate hazard shield, and a significant portion of Samus’ weapons arsenal have been taken from non-Chozo sources that weren’t made for her at all. The suit can integrate them like it’s nothing.
Finally, here’s a little crack theory of mine…
Have you noticed subtle changes to Samus’ suit design between games? Even between directly adjacent games like Prime 1 and Prime 2, a few details of the suit are different. Is this just artistic license? Well, probably. But I like to think that in-universe, Samus’ power suit changes over time. Perhaps it updates itself for optimal performance during changing conditions. Who knows! If the Dread suit can grow metal plating and change appearance all by itself, surely the standard power suit can do the same.
I finally got around to recording a proper playthrough of this game!
Metroid Dread is a bit of a long game with a big world to explore, and it’s easy to get lost in. Perhaps that’s part of its appeal? However, this is a more narrative-focused playthrough that takes you through the story while spending a minimum amount of time wandering aimlessly. Thanks to many times playing through the game, I can give you the full experience in a fun-to-watch format.
If you haven’t gotten around to playing this game and you want to see what all the hype is about, this is the series for you! The first two episodes are already up, and you can find the rest as they come out on my channel. Happy hunting!
Samus from Metroid Dread!
Piece 9/31
Samus Aran’s metroid-infused DNA makes her more susceptible to cold temperatures, so I guess that means she’s canonically one of those people that’s just cold all the time?
And I guess that knowledge led me to rendering her with her entire fist stuffed into a mug of hot cocoa? Anyway…
The model itself is from Smash, I just made the winter wear.
The last Metroid is in captivity. The galaxy is at peace…
this is like the third six character meme I’ve done over the last two years I hope they’ve progressively gotten better idk
