A large ornamental Metroid statue exists in the lower area of the planet, functioning similarly to the [[Golden Statues]] of [[Zebes]]. Filling the statue with "Metroid DNA" will cause the purple liquid preventing Samus' progression to subside, similar to how defeating Metroids in the original game will cause the [[Lava (SR388)|Lava]] to decrease. |

Metroid: Samus Returns is an action-adventure game announced during the Treehouse broadcast on June 13, 2017. It is a 2.5D remake of Metroid II: Return of Samus, and the first traditional Metroid game since Metroid: Zero Mission in 2004. The game features graphics and melee combat similar to Metroid: Other M. It is being developed by MercurySteam, who were previously working on a Metroid pitch that was presumably rejected.
The game will support amiibo, including the figures of Samus and Zero Suit Samus from the Super Smash Bros. series, as well as two new amiibo of Samus in her classic Metroid II pose, and a Metroid (with a squishy texture). It will also come in a special edition, including a a CD soundtrack with 25 classic Metroid tracks, called the Samus Archives Sound Selection.
Other additions to the game include the ability to aim in 360 degrees, instead of just diagonally, horizontally and vertically as in previous 2D titles. A laser sight has been added to Samus' Arm Cannon which will glow red when it intersects an enemy. The game features melee combat, including a melee counter Samus can perform to deflect enemy charges and create an opening for further attack, in addition to filling Samus' Charge Shot similar to Other M.

Filling the statue with "Metroid DNA" will cause the purple liquid preventing Samus' progression to subside, similar to how defeating Metroids in the original game will cause the Lava to decrease.
New power-ups introduced are the Aeion abilities. Functioning as a fuel system, Aeion abilities are new powers that use a gauge system which gradually depletes as they are used. The Scan Pulse is one such ability, which allows Samus to see hidden blocks, and expands the visible Map on the 3DS's lower screen. Lightning Armor imbues Samus' suit with an electric green aura, in which attacks and external damage will deplete the Aeion guage and not Samus' health, whilst also charging her melee attack. Aeion Orbs may be used to refill the gauge, and are sometimes dropped by enemies when defeated or successfully countered.
Energy Stations will renew Samus' energy and Missile reserves, and Save Stations return. New Teleport Stations let Samus quickly move between different areas of the planet, along with Elevators.
A Metroid II remake had been requested by fans for many years, to the point where a widely popular unofficial remake was developed and released in 2016, in time for Metroid's 30th anniversary. Shortly after its release, it was taken offline by Nintendo.
