Pikachu uses Thunder to free her, and the two face off against Ridley.Īfter escaping from the facility, Samus and Pikachu discover another Subspace Army base producing Subspace Bombs.

In thanks, Pikachu helps Samus continue through the lab. Seeing that the device causes Pikachu pain, Samus breaks the machine. After making her way through it, she encounters Pikachu trapped within a strange device that harnesses its electrical energy to provide power to the complex. Samus begins the Subspace Emissary in her Zero Suit, infiltrating a sinister laboratory. Samus's snapshot in The Subspace Emissary Samus is the only female character to be playable in this game, not counting Pikachu and Jigglypuff, which could be either gender starting in Pokémon Gold & Silver, and possibly Kirby, whose sex is ambiguous despite the use of masculine pronouns. In addition, while not based upon any aspect of the Metroid series, her green costume is referred to as "mass-produced Samus," a reference to the Gundam franchise. One of Samus's alternate costumes is based upon the Gravity Suit while the one officially noted as the Gravity Suit appears similar to the in-game sprite in Super Metroid, her purple costume resembles the suit in official artwork. In addition, Samus uses the Grapple Beam as her grab move, which gives her a ranged grab. Her down special is the Bomb, in which she turns into the Morph Ball and drops a bomb. Her up special move is the Screw Attack, in which she jumps up with an electric barrier around her to damage opponents. Samus's standard special move is the Charge Shot, which allows her to charge up a blast and fire it. In the game's single player mode, she is fought on the Planet Zebes stage.

Her appearance is based upon the Varia Suit as it appears in Super Metroid. Samus is one of the default characters in the original Super Smash Bros. Several of her moves make use of her arm cannon, while her special moves are all based on the equipment she obtains in the Metroid series. Samus's moveset is designed around extensive use of her projectiles and other weapons, along with a number of hand-to-hand moves and short-range cannon blasts. She is a heavy character but falls at a slow speed, giving her "floaty" jumps and aerial movement like in the sidescrolling Metroid games. Samus appears in all six games in the Super Smash Bros. 12.2 Appearances in other Super Mario-related media.11.2.1 Yoshi's Woolly World / Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World.11.2 Appearances in other Super Mario-related media.10.2.3 Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.10.2.2 Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.10.2 Appearances in other Super Mario-related media.8.2 Appearances in other Super Mario-related media.4.2.8 Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.4.2.4 Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.4.2 Appearances in other Super Mario-related media.
