While the long-term popularity of the franchise and the gap between the games is easily created Metroid Prime 4 one of Nintendo's most anticipated titles for the Switch 2 in the console's first year, there are some features that players will only be able to unlock with the three Amiibo figures created for use in the game: Samus, Sylux, and Samus & Vi-O-La. As detailed on Nintendo's official website, half of these features are centered around Samus Metroid Prime 4 Motorcycleas the Samus & Vi-O-La Amiibo will allow players to change Vi-O-La's color, check her total mileage every time she touches the figure, and increase her regeneration rate by charging her energy once a day. Additionally, one of the new standalone Samus Amiibo features will allow players to change the background music while riding a motorcycle.

In addition, the Samus Amiibo gives players a more functional power that can only be used once per day, allowing her to create an energy shield that blocks up to 99 damage, and activating this power also restores a full health tank. Conversely, the Sylux Amiibo might be the least functional of the bunch, though it does include some fun-sounding immersive features that allow players to hear a character's random line of dialogue every time you tap it, and once players finish the game, it lets them watch a movie of the events that take place throughout the game.

IN Metroid: Samus Returns for the 3DS, some Amiibo figures could unlock Aeion's rockets, reserve energy, or energy tanks. Moreover, any Metroid Amiibo unlocked an in-game tool that made it easier to locate Metroids, along with awarding specials Metroid Fusion the suit worn by Samus. Amiibo v Metroid series had special features in many other games as well, including Mario Party 10, Mario Kart 8 Deluxeand Bayonetta 2.
