Searchlight

SearchlightsMetroid: Zero Mission: The Official Nintendo Player's Guide, page 80 are a security mechanism used by the Space Pirates in two rooms of their Mother Ship (the "searchlight shaft") and the neighboring Chozo Ruins (the "hall of lights") in Chozodia. They appear as bright yellow flashing lights that float around the room in patterns. To avoid detection, Samus Aran must take care not to step into them and seek cover when she can. It is fine if a yellow corner overlaps with her, but if the center of the light touches Samus it will detect her.
The searchlights serve alongside floating-eye sensors and the Pirate Alarm System to warn the Pirates of intruders in their base. Searchlights stop appearing after Samus regains her Power Suit (with the exception of one room in the Mother Ship).
