Metroid Prime 4 invites players to step back into the iconic role of Samus Aran, the renowned intergalactic bounty hunter. Alongside this thrilling new chapter in the Metroid franchise, fans will also encounter a collection of vibrant new amiibo, each with its own set of unlockable rewards. Notably, these amiibo aren’t all available for immediate use upon game start, adding an element of anticipation.

This comprehensive guide details the unique rewards offered by each amiibo related to Metroid Prime 4, including those from previous titles in the beloved Metroid series.

Complete List of Metroid Prime 4 Amiibo Unlocks & Rewards

Upon the release of Metroid Prime 4, three new amiibo were introduced specifically for the game:

Samus Aran (Metroid Prime 4 Beyond)
Samus and Vi-O-La (Metroid Prime 4 Beyond)
Sylux (Metroid Prime 4 Beyond)

Unlocks from Samus Aran (Metroid Prime 4 Beyond) Amiibo

By scanning the Samus Aran amiibo in Metroid Prime 4, players can activate an Energy Shield. This shield can be utilized once per day, prompting a confirmation each time you choose to engage it. The Energy Shield effectively restores Samus’ health and withstands up to 99 points of damage before exhaustion.

Additionally, the amiibo unlocks a jukebox feature for players to enjoy while biking in-game, accessible only after completing the Volt Forge challenge. The themes unlocked include:

Vi-O-La Theme
Volt Forge Theme
Xelios Theme

Upon completing the main storyline, players will also gain access to two new tracks: the Metroid Prime theme and the Metroid Prime 4 theme, adding even more variety to your in-game audio experience.

Unlocks from Samus and Vi-O-La (Metroid Prime 4 Beyond) Amiibo

Scanning the Samus and Vi-O-La amiibo yields several exciting rewards:

A daily-use Boost Recovery option for the bike, specifically limited to Sol Valley.
An odometer feature for Vi-O-La (available post-Volt Forge), which tracks your total distance traveled while biking.

For every 50, 000 meters covered on Vi-O-La, you unlock a new skin that alters the bike’s appearance, with the potential to unlock a total of seven new skins (including the default design).
