Lava

Lava


Lava in the world of Metroid is a very dangerous hazard that can result in death if fallen in to, it also acts as a loss of speed when running through. Some areas feature fake lava where Samus can fall right through to reach secret areas without being damaged. The Diamont bounty hunter Spire uses lava to his advantage by being immune to it allowing him to move freely through it without being damaged. When Samus aquires a suit upgrade she developes an immunity to lava and is able to move through it at normal speed.
