Nintendo has recently disclosed new gameplay features regarding the mechanics of the Vi-O-La motorcycle in the upcoming game Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. This motorcycle serves as a significant new element that will aid Samus Aran in traversing the expansive landscapes of the planet Byrus during her journey.

Vi-O-La Motorcycle

The Vi-O-La motorcycle is designed to be utilized in specific regions of the game. Once Samus dismounts, the gameplay returns to a first-person perspective. While riding the motorcycle, players will have access to various abilities, including boosting speed, executing power slides, and launching projectiles at enemies. A unique feature allows these projectiles to lock onto up to five targets and return like a boomerang.
