Teleport Station

Teleport Stations are a station in Metroid: Samus Returns. They provide a fast travel feature to the game, allowing Samus to quickly transport herself between areas of SR388. This can allow her to more conveniently return to previous areas. Metroid II: Return of Samus did not have such a feature, meaning that extensive backtracking would be required in order to return to past areas.
