The gameplay focuses on exploring a vast world, solving environmental puzzles, and battling a variety of enemies. Samus is equipped with a variety of weapons and abilities, including her energy beam, bombs, and special abilities like the Morph Ball, which allows her to roll into a small ball to navigate tight spaces.

Exploration is a core element of Metroid: Zero Mission. The expansive map of Zebes is divided into many different areas, each with its own challenges.

Many secrets are hidden within the map, requiring players to thoroughly explore to find them. Some areas require players to use specific abilities to access them.

The combat system in Metroid: Zero Mission is a blend of action and strategy. Players must skillfully use Samus's weapons and abilities to defeat enemies. Each enemy type has its own weaknesses, requiring players to learn and adapt their tactics. In addition, energy management is crucial, as Samus will need energy to use her weapons and abilities. Searching for energy-restoring items is also an important part of the gameplay.

Metroid: Zero Mission also adds some new features compared to the original, including a new gameplay sequence after completing the game, allowing players to experience the story from a different perspective.
