Energy Tank

An , also known as an Metroid: Zebes Invasion Order, is an expansion that increases Samus Aran's maximum energy by 100.
==Description==
Energy Tanks appear in almost every Metroid game and are vital for survival. While some can be found in open areas and are easy to obtain, some are well hidden and require extensive searching to find. The more Energy Tanks Samus collects, the more damage she can withstand before dying. When collected, they will also fully restore her energy reserves.
The traditional number of Energy Tanks found in a Metroid game usually hovers around the fourteen mark, although it has gone as low as five (in Metroid II: Return of Samus), and as high as twenty (in Metroid Fusion). In Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, the first Energy Tank is unavoidable, as one must be used to activate Hypermode, a function required several times throughout the course of the game. In both Metroid and Metroid II: Return of Samus, there is at least one extra Energy Tank that can be collected to completely refill Samus's energy, but will not increase her maximum capacity any further. For Metroid there are eight Energy Tanks, but Samus can only use six; and in Metroid II there are six Energy Tanks, but Samus can use only five.
In Metroid: Other M, Samus only obtains five actual Energy Tanks. She must acquire the rest by collecting Energy Parts, which are pieces of Energy Tanks. Collecting four of them creates a new Energy Tank for Samus to use. There are also E-Recovery Tanks, which increase the amount of energy Samus can restore with Concentration. Energy Tanks are stored in holdings and have a "purplish-red" color, although sometimes the actual tank itself can be collected. The tank in storage is 300mm long, and the tank alone is 500~600mm long.Gallery Mode, as translated by Metroid Database Unlike other Metroid games, Energy Tanks in Other M increase Samus's energy by 99 units instead of 100, as indicated by her energy total skipping over any 00 value.
Energy Tanks are one of the few items that can be used freely with the Zero Suit, as seen in Metroid: Zero Mission.
In Metroid Fusion, one X Parasite is seen mimicking an Energy Tank. It is unclear if standard Energy Tanks are at least partially organic, or if the X are simply mimicking its appearance.
The Mechs in Metroid Prime: Federation Force cannot have their energy increased beyond 99. To restore their energy, Repair Capsules are used instead.
In games that feature competitive multiplayer modes, Energy Tanks are largely lacking in such modes to make all competitors easy to defeat. In the multiplayer mode of Metroid Prime Hunters however, all Bounty Hunters spawn with 99 energy but are equipped with one Energy Tank that can be filled up with Energy Capsules, making their total energy capacity 199.
In Metroid Dread, both Energy Tanks and Energy Parts can be found.

===Metroid Prime manual===
;ENERGY TANKS
:"Samus starts her adventure with minimal energy reserves. For every Energy Tank she tracks down, however, her maximum energy reserve will grow by 100 units. The number of highlighted squares above the energy gauge at the top of Samus's Combat Visor display indicates how many full tanks she has in reserve."
===Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion: Prima's Official Strategy Guide===
;Energy Tanks
:"These are perhaps the most valuable of all power-ups. Each Energy Tank increases Samus's maximum Energy reserves by 100 points. The more you find, the more damage you'll be able to sustain in combat. If you find no other power-ups, be sure to collect every Energy Tank, and you'll have a much easier time getting through the game."
===Metroid Prime Official Perfect Guide===
;Energy and Energy Tanks
:"Each Energy Tank--represented by a small square at the very top of your Visor display--holds 100 units of energy; in addition to the energy units provided by the Energy Tanks, you also possess a personal reserve of 99 units. This is the energy with which you begin the game before you've found any Energy Tanks, and the supply with which you'll be left to survive after your additional Energy Tanks have been depleted. When all Energy Tanks and the non-Tank personal reserve of 100 units have been drained by enemy attacks, contact with hazardous material, or by any other sort of damaging circumstance, you will die and the game will end. When you restart, you'll pick up from the last Save Station at which you saved. (See Stations below.) The maximum number of Energy Tanks you can hold is 14.To replenish energy, make contact with the Small Energy capsules (which replenish 10 units), Large Energy capsules (which replenish 20 units), or Ultra Energy capsules (which replenish 100 units, a full Tank's worth of energy) that you'll find left behind by defeated enemies or within metal crates."

==Cameos==
*Captain N: The Game Master (Money Changes Everything): Samus takes a hit from three Gamets and Kevin prevents her from exploding by crossing the Fire-Sea Room to grab an Energy Tank for her.
*Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (2003, Game Boy Advance) (Samus was intended to appear at Starbeans Cafe, among other Nintendo characters, during a scripted event. Dialog remains in the game's code-"Cashier: Whoa! A power outage? Yikes! Samus Aran! I see you're rocking and rolling as usual! ...Looks like your energy tanks are empty! Sorry, but can't you give your Hoolumbian to Samus? Oh! Feeling better?" She would then give the player an Energy Tank in exchange for the drink. Ultimately, most of the items from Nintendo characters were replaced with similar ones in the final game, and the Energy Tank became a Power Grip accessory.)
