The Section 4 Gravity Block is an area of the BOTTLE SHIP from Metroid: Other M. It is one of four major Blocks that make up the entirety of the Cryosphere.
Description[]
This Section is first witnessed in a cutscene, on a computer in the Bioweapons Research Center of the Biosphere. "Madeline Bergman" redirects Samus toward the Gravity Block on the latter's mission to eliminate MB and Sector Zero.
Samus heads back into Sector 2 to reach the Section on her way toward Sector Zero. Before Samus can enter the Gravity Block, she must blast a Multi-Lock Blast Shield blocking its entrance. Notably, this is one of the few Sections of the BOTTLE SHIP to lack a title card (if not the only major Section to do so) upon first entering. This may be to surprise Samus with what is to come: as Samus enters the first hall into the Section, she feels immense gravity pulling her toward the ceiling (hence the Section's name). She is forced to navigate through the halls at the mercy of the immense gravitational pull. This hinders her fighting capabilities as the creatures that exist within this Section are little to not affected by the gravitational pulls. After a few rooms, she arrives at the central generation room, where she is attacked by a powerful enemy guarding the exit leading into Sector Zero.

- It is unknown as to why Samus didn't self Authorize the Gravity Feature when she first entered the Section 4 Gravity Block. Instead, she activates its use in Sector Zero during an emergency situation.
