- Samus changing up her appearance and Suit design is an absolute staple of the Metroid series. Ever since they original Metroid game on NES, we've had new designs introduced regularly, with especially the Metroid Prime series giving us a ton of new designs. Today, I wanna rank all of them to find out which of these upgrades is the best of them all. And with so many awesome Suits over the course of the series, that definitely wasn't easy...

The Dark Suit and the Light suit are, i believe, so weird looking compared to her usual Chozo armors, because it was designed by the Luminoth so they share the design pholosiphy of their architecture.
Whatever your opinion on the Light and Dark suits, I feel like future Samus Armour designs official or fan-made should take the risks Prime 2 specifically did in terms of making wholly unique suits because Prime 2’s suits to me just feel the most stand out of the series while also making Prime 2 as a whole into an aesthetically standout entry in the franchise.
Of course, I feel any official designs should take into account both the story purpose and environmental aesthetic of each suit.
Finding the Gravity Suit underwater just feels oddly perfect due to that purple colour scheme.
You get the Dark Suit in the middle of the game where the threats pile up with the Dark Aether air still being toxic to Samus, where the Light suit is a relief from all that and a hope for Samus to defeat her dark counterpart.
Then you have the Metroid Suit looking all gnarly because, while it is this source of great power, it is also chaotic and indiscriminately destructive, putting Samus in jeopardy when she wants to use her ship to escape, of which such attributes are reflected in that gnarly design.
This post is to clarify some things only, not to discredit the research time and subjetive opinions.
The PED suit was not chozo-hybrid tech, it was just slapping on the garbage from the federation, that's why it clashes with her design, it isn't sleek nor really ergonomic it is just an exo-exo-skeleton. Sure it is tailor made for the chozo varia suit but it ISN'T part of the varia suit
The base Dread suit is the realized final 3D hi-res version of the Fusion suit, the Fusion suit is a stripped down version of the power suit, that's why it lets Samus hang on ledges instead of requiring the power grip from Zero mission or Prime 3. The Dread suit in the flashbacks is the final Fusion suit with varia+ice invulnerability and the Metroid suit only kills the X parasite on contact, otherwise it needs Samus to claw the being to absorb their energy like she does with Raven Beak.
My fave is the Final Dread suit after Samus learns to control the metroid power when she absorbs Quiet Robe X
Edit: "X parasite on contact"
Huge missed opportunity to shit on the Varia Suit from Fusion.
I actually quite like the Dark Suit because it has Luminoth colours and aesthetics
Could you rank samus ships next ?
Says gravity can’t be ranked higher than 8 bc it’s basically a purple pallet swap but then ranks the phazon suit number 1, seems legit
I’m happy you chose the phazon suit as number 1. Tbh that has always been my favorite. It looks insanely badass. My number 2 would be the light suit.
For me my number one is the Dread Suit, so badass and so slick.
I think this video just shows how insanely good Samus' suits have been over the years, pretty much any suit could be any placement and it's fair, her suits are just good. I personally love the Dark Suit especially since it may contain Chozo + Ing tech as its design seems very similar to Ing Guardians. I'm not a big fan of the Gravity suit as I often feel that it's upgrade could just be inherent to her kit like how Varia gives heat resist in a lot of games and in several games it's just a lazy color swap though Dread Gravity passes the vibe test. I also don't like Zero Suit mostly because of the fan service. Samus is so freaking BA and it just feels wrong to have her in such a sexually suggestive outfit. I'm in Game Design right now and I've always hated how many BA female characters are so heavily sexualized it has bothered me for years now and so I try to not sexualize BA female characters whenever possible.
That was actually my conclusion as well. There are some banger designs even among the mid to lower end of the list
Maybe you could rank every boss from the prime series, or something more original and nerdy, rank every space pirate design in the trilogy
I don't think anything beats the varia suit, especially with all its distinct iterations
Light Suit #1
