Energy Parts are an item introduced in Metroid: Other M and returning in Metroid Dread. They are pieces that form into one Energy Tank. Four Energy Parts are necessary to form one Energy Tank. There are a total of sixteen in both games, meaning Samus can gain four Energy Tanks from the Energy Parts. They have a red color in Other M (orange in concept art) and a blue color in Dread.
Description[]
In Other M, the appearance of the actual part is a cone shaped glass or plastic container with two metal ends to seal the energy inside. The stand seals the entire part inside a cylindrical container. The stand itself resembles an Energy Tank and its stand from the same game, but with absent features from the latter such as only one arm holding the filled container instead of two and missing "vent" parts. These missing details likely reflect how an Energy Part is only a fraction of an actual Energy Tank.
Aside from finding them scattered throughout the BOTTLE SHIP's environment, some Energy Parts are housed within Small crates.

- "Energy Part pick-ups work in batches of four. For every four Energy Parts that you pick up, you'll gain one full Energy Bar. This will only happen once you've located all four Energy Parts. There are a total of 16 Energy Parts in the BOTTLE SHIP. That means you can get a maximum of four Energy Bar increases over the course of the game."
Metroid Dread Report Volume 5[]
"In addition to the Power Suit’s built-in defenses, Samus can increase its Energy—and thus its capacity to withstand damage—by acquiring two kinds of Energy Tank items. Standard Energy Tanks increase her suit’s Energy by 100 each. She can also collect four Energy Parts to reconstruct the same functionality as a standard Energy Tank."
Metroid Dread notifications[]

Trivia[]
- Energy Parts are similar in concept to the Pieces of Heart in the Legend of Zelda series.
- While Energy Parts were introduced in Metroid: Other M, the idea of forming one Energy Tank from multiple parts was seen earlier in the series. In Hard Mode in Metroid: Zero Mission, Samus must collect two Energy Tanks to create one full tank.
- Interestingly, when four Energy Parts are collected, Samus will not fully recover her energy as she would with a new whole tank, but rather, restore her energy by a full tank. This only applies to Metroid: Other M; she will recover all energy when doing so in Metroid Dread.
- In Other M, if Samus collects an Energy Part while having 16 Energy Parts or 9 Energy Tanks (via an item duplication cheat), when she picks up the item, the game will instantly crash and reboot the system back to the game's Wii remote screen. This is the only Expansion in Other M to perform such a glitch.
