Aside from her Power Suit, Samus is also in possession of a Gunship, which is used in the games to save progress and restore her health and ammunition. Additionally, its visor can be used to scan objects to learn more about them, a feature that has been used since Metroid Prime. It is also equipped with a Grapple Beam, which can be used to tether onto objects to cross large distances, such as chasms. The Power Suit can be reconfigured into a small, spherical form called the Morph Ball, which allows her to roll through tight areas, such as tunnels, and use Bombs. With the Power Suit's Arm Cannon, Samus can fire various energy beams, charge beams to shoot an extra-powerful blast, or launch a limited number of missiles. Samus Aran is typically seen wearing the Power Suit, a powered exoskeleton which protects her from most dangers she encounters and can be enhanced by power-ups collected during gameplay. Samus's gender is revealed at the end of the original Metroid (1986). She is also recognized as one of the earliest female video game protagonists and has remained a popular and well-received character. In terms of gender representation in video games, she has received largely positive reviews. She has featured in several other game franchises, including as a playable character in every installment of the Super Smash Bros. She also appears in the film Metroid: The Sky Calls, portrayed by actresses Jessica Chobot and America Young. Samus is the protagonist of several Metroid games, films, manga series, and a comic book continuation of Captain N: The Game Master. Throughout the series, she executes missions given to her by the Galactic Federation and the Chozo while hunting the antagonistic Space Pirates and their leader Ridley, along with the parasitic energy-draining organisms called Metroids and the manipulative cybernetic supercomputer Mother Brain. Samus Aran is an ex-soldier of the Galactic Federation who became a galactic bounty hunter, usually fitted with a powered exoskeleton that is equipped with weapons such as directed-energy weapons and missiles. She was introduced as a player character in the original 1986 video game Metroid. She was created by Japanese video game designer Makoto Kano.
