Scan Visor

The Scan Visor is one of the visors found in both Prime Nintendo GameCube games, Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. The Scan Visor can scan objects to learn more about them. Only certain objects can be scanned. All enemies can be scanned, as well as most items. In Prime, the Scan Visor is almost identical to the Combat Visor, only with a rectangle seeing what your are scanning. In Echoes, scannable objects are highlighted in red, blue, and green. Red objects are mission-critical and have not been scanned. Blue objects have not been scanned but are not mission-crticial. All enemies appear as blue when being scanned for the first time. Green objects have already been scanned. Some red objects may appear as green, since they have already been scanned, but are still mission-critical.
