Find Your Power begins by showing footage from prior trailers, including Samus escaping from E.M.M.I.-02SM in their first encounter, fighting Corpius, using the Phantom Cloak to hide from E.M.M.I.-03MB and reacquiring the Varia Suit. After this, new footage is shown, starting with clips from the Kraid battle, in which he roars at Samus and spits globules from his mouth, with his throat enlarged like a toad (Corpius has a similar attack). The next clip shows Samus finding the Flash Shift Aeion ability in the hands of an upright Chozo statue, then Sliding down a ramp into a facility. She lands after a short fall (depicted in the thumbnail above), before the camera focuses on her eyes through her visor.
A final sequence of clips depicts Samus Sliding into a tunnel before morphing, using the Storm Missile and Spider Magnet, and cocking her Omega Cannon. The game's cover, logo and release date are displayed, with the cutscene of Samus's first confrontation with Raven Beak playing out on a Nintendo Switch screen.
Throughout the commercial, a triumphant theme not present in the game plays. It is an excerpt of Night of the Drowned, a licensed track composed by Dream Cave. Another part of the track was used in the Sounds of Dread trailer.
