The Gravity suit is the third, and commonly the last, suit variation you get in most Metroid games. It gives you better defense, eliminates the GRAVITY effects of water, and sometimes, gives you invulnerability to acid or lava. The Gravity suit allows you to get to areas and many pick ups. Water is used by the programmers to irritatingly block off enormous areas until you have this suit. In Super Metroid water and lava blocks off the entire area of Maridia, and the lower area of Norfair. After getting this suit in Metroid Fusion (After defeating one of the hardest bosses in the game) you can access countless caverns of water all over the BSL station. I Metroid Prime 2 you get a jet pack instead of a suit, which does the same thing but also, lets you float in water for a while. Water is not as limiting as it is in other games, though. There is no Gravity suit, or anything like it, in Metroid Prime 3. Why? Because there is absolutely NO water in the game. The "Hazard shield" does protect you from fuel gel, but you never get completely submerged in it.
