Metroid Prime 4 has finally arrived, and the wait was totally worth it. While it might not be the absolute best in the Metroid Prime series, there’s still plenty to enjoy, and fans have been eager for a new installment for a long time.
As you explore the main planet in the game, you’ll find a useful vehicle called the Vi-O-La. Here’s how to unlock its extra features and skins.
How to Unlock All Vi-O-La Motorcycle Skins
You Need to Use the Amiibo
To get different skins for the motorcycle in Metroid Prime 4, you’ll need to use a special amiibo made for the game. In particular, you’ll want the “Samus & Vi-O-La” amiibo, which shows Samus riding the new motorcycle in her Prime 4 suit. When you tap this amiibo on your device, it unlocks several features, such as:
- Extra skins for the Vi-O-La
- Boost upgrades that let you keep boosting until you leave the Sol Valley area
- A Vi-O-La radio that lets you change music tracks in the Sol Valley hub
Keep in mind, not all skins are available right away. You’ll need to unlock them by riding the motorcycle, earning points on the odometer. Based on our playthrough, we managed to unlock all skins just before finishing the game.
All Vi-O-La Motorcycle Skins
Here’s a quick overview of what you can unlock, along with how they look:
- Default Theme
- Samus Varia Theme
- Sylux Theme
- Metroid Prime Theme
- Space Pirate Theme
- Ancient Theme
- Psychic Era Theme
- Vi-O-La Suit Theme
Personally, my favorite skin is the Sylux theme. The color scheme and lore behind it make riding around in the desert pretty fun.
This covers everything about unlocking and choosing the skins for the Vi-O-La motorcycle in Metroid Prime 4. Enjoy exploring with your new rides!
