Metroid Fusion(GBA):

Metroid Fusion occurs shortly after Super Metroid. The abscence of the Metroids has thrown the food chain out of balance on SR-388, and a parasitic virus called X (Which was the Metroid’s natural food) is multiplying. Samus is infected while researching it and the only way to save her is with a vaccine made from the DNA of the Metroid hatchling. Because of the Metroid DNA in her body, she can absorb the X parasites to recover health and power-ups; a good thing, as the X quickly take over a research station orbiting SR-388. As Samus fights against the rising tide of parasites, she’s also being hunted by the SA-X, a parasite mimicking her at the heigh of her powers.
