Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Exploring Byrus on the Speedy Viola with Unique Abilities

Nintendo has revealed new details about the motorcycle featured in the latest Metroid Prime 4: Beyond trailer. This vehicle marks a first for the Metroid series and will allow Samus Aran to traverse the mysterious planet Byrus swiftly. According to a new post on Nintendo Japan’s website, the motorcycle is named the “Viola.” Nintendo confirmed that the Viola offers unique abilities to engage enemies and destroy environmental objects during exploration.
