Metroid Blast

Metroid Blast is 1 of the 12 attractions in Nintendo Land. It is a Team Attraction that can be played with 1-5 Players. It is based on the Metroid Series.

Gameplay
The Gamepad player flies in Samus's Gunship while everyone else moves by foot in a Samus suit, with different colors according to the player. The goal is to destroy enemy waves until the end, or accomplish a specialized objective, like collecting player coins. If a player is defeated, they lose their ship/armor and will wear a Zero Suit Samus suit. You are unable to attack in this state and can only blast a beacon of light to let the other players know that there is a crystal over your head that you need to collect. Hearts and power ups will revive you and give your ship/armor back. Unlike other team attractions, every player has their own life counter, so if one dies, the game is not over. The game is only over when all the players die.

Gunship
The Gunship is controlled by the Gamepad, it can fire beams with ZR, Zoom with ZL, fire missiles by holding ZR, dash with A/B/Y/X or the controll sticks being pressed, and fly using the two Control Sticks.

Samus
Samus is controlled by using the Wii Remote, and, unlike in other attractions, requires the nunchuck. Players can fire beams with B, go into a morph ball with Z, zoom in with C, look around by holding A, grapple targets with B, fire bombs by holding B, and dodge by shaking the Wii Remote.
