Located on [[Crateria]] after landing on Zebes, the Gunship has a similar function in ''Super Metroid'' as it does in ''Metroid II'', with a few added capabilities. Merely entering it causes Samus to replenish any depleted ammunition, energy, and to save her progress. After destroying [[Mother Brain]], Samus uses this ship to escape Zebes before its destruction.

Samus's gunship lands on [[Aether]] after Samus receives a distress signal from the planet. As she approaches the surface, the unstable atmosphere damages the ship. Throughout the game, Samus's ship remains in [[Temple Grounds]]' [[Landing Site]]. There, Samus can use it to save progress and regain [[energy]], [[Missile Ammo]], [[Power Bomb Ammo]], and [[Beam Ammo]]. The ship appears to be damaged. After defeating [[Dark Samus]] in [[Sky Temple Gateway]], Samus returns to Aether and leaves in her gunship. It is unknown whether the ship repaired itself like her ''Corruption'' gunship or if the [[Luminoth]] repaired it for her.

====''Metroid: Other M''====
''[[Metroid: Other M]]'' also features the classic ship. The ship is used by Samus in opening scenes and is used to reach the [[Bottle Ship]]. Unlike other games, Samus cannot use the ship to save or refill her energy reserves or any of her weaponry. Unlike ''Corruption'', ''Other M's'' gunship holds a highly inactive role. It sits parked aboard a Bottle Ship landing site. The controls used for this ship appear different from those of any other gunship; it is controlled via a spherical mechanism similar to a {{wp|Mouse (computing)|mouse}}. Samus leaves the Bottle Ship on her gunship after defeating the [[Metroid Queen]] and returns to retrieve [[Adam Malkovich|Adam's]] helmet. She then escapes again as the Bottle Ship is on the verge of destruction.

This design of the gunship appears briefly in the opening scenes of ''Metroid Fusion''. As Samus maneuvers it alongside the [[Biologic Space Laboratories Research Station|B.S.L Station]], the [[X Parasite|X parasites]] inside her body begin taking over her body and make her lose consciousness. The ship then veers off into an asteroid belt.<ref>{{cite|Once the X had infested my central nervous system, I lost consciousness and my ship drifted into an asteroid belt.|[[Samus Aran]]|[[Metroid Fusion]]}}</ref> The ship's safety measures, however, manage to eject Samus within an [[Escape Pod|escape pod]], which [[Biologic Space Laboratories|B.S.L]] researchers later find. They then send Samus to the [[Galactic Federation]]<ref>{{cite|The ship's emergency systems automatically ejected the escape pod before impact.
