Metroid Marker

The Metroid Marker is an unlockable Map feature in Metroid: Samus Returns. When the Metroid amiibo is tapped on the Nintendo 3DS, a small Larva Metroid icon will display on the Map, showing the nearest Metroid. This can point Samus in the right direction, aided by her Metroid Detector, which begins to beep as she gets closer to another Metroid. It is currently unknown if the amiibo must be tapped once or more than once for the Metroid Marker to display the location of each Metroid.
