## Game Appearances

### *Super Smash Bros. Brawl*

Samus is a veteran in Brawl, but this is her first meeting with Sonic. She is a heavyweight in her Power suit.

#### Special Moves

* **Standard** - *Charge Shot*

Samus charges her arm cannon and shoots. When used in the air, she does not charge the shot.
* **Side** - *Missle*

Samus shoots a remote-controlled missle that flies horizontally. If the player continues to hold left/right on the d-pad, the missle will attempt to home onto a nearby opponent but flies slower.
* **Up** - *Screw Attack*

Samus curls into a ball and jumps like Sonic, with an aura of electricity.
* **Down** - *Bomb*

Samus curls into a ball and drops a bomb. If the move is used again successfully just as the bomb detonates, she will gain height.
* **Final Smash** - *Zero Laser*

Samus fires a powerful laser. Her suit breaks and she becomes Zero Suit Samus.
#### Subspace Emmisary

##### Zero Suit Samus

*Main article: Zero Suit Samus*
Samus (in her Zero Suit) snuck in to a research facility to find her power suit. Along the way, she saved Pikachu from a generator. They then fought their way through R.O.B.s. She eventually found a computer showing her suit. She and Pikachu traveled through the facility until they reached the suit. But they were attacked by shadowbug clones wearing her suit. They defeated the clones and Samus put on her suit.

##### Power Suit

Samus fought her way through the facility using the weapons of her Power Suit and the aid of Pikachu. They eventually ran into Samus' old foe Ridley who snatched her and grinded her on the wall. Pikachu used his Thunder attack to save Samus. Although Samus' suit was damaged, she and Pikachu defeated Ridley. They went to a Subspace Bomb Factory, where they encountered the Ancient Minister. They prepared to fight but stopped after noticing the Minister's sadness. Donkey Kong broke into the room, followed by Captain Olimar, Captain Falcon and Diddy Kong. They all watched as the Minister defy Ganondorf. The R.O.B.s fired on him, setting his robes ablaze. The robes burned off, revealing him to be the leader of the R.O.B.s. They escaped on the Falcon Flyer, but was chased by Ridley. They defeated Ridley again, but the bombs detonated, sending the Isle of Ancients. They managed to escape on time and met Mario, Link, Kirby, Pit, Yoshi, Marth, Ike, Lucas, the Pokémon Trainer and the Ice Climbers. The Halberd dropped off Meta Knight, Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, Solid Snake, Lucario, Mr. Game & Watch, Princess Peach and Princess Zelda. A gunship came out of the Subspace ball, commanded by Ganondorf and Bowser. They noticed the Halberd coming and fired on it. The Halberd broke in half, but the Nintendo heroes had smaller ships. Samus navigated her gunship through the lasers. Kirby destroyed the gunship with a Dragoon, and Samus and the other heroes went into Subspace. They encountered Tabuu, and everyone turned into trophies. But she was saved by King Dedede, Luigi and Ness. They revived the other trophies and went through the Great Maze.

##### Sonic appears

After getting through the Great Maze, Tabuu tried to turn everyone back into trophies, but Samus and the others saw a blue ball breaking Tabuu's wings. That blue ball turned out to be Sonic the Hedgehog, who helped Samus and the Nintendo heroes defeat Tabuu and bring the world back to normal.

#### Green Hill Zone

In Green Hill Zone, Samus can double jump and Screw Attack across the valley. The checkered pattern isn't as slippery with Samus' armor. When the stage crumbles, she can recover from offstage. Her Screw Attack can glitch her onto the ledge. The checkpoint can launch her across the valley.

#### Windy Hill

On Windy Hill, Samus can't go under the stage. The left spring puts her on the upper platform without a midair jump. The right spring bounces her close to the center of the wheel. Bouncing of the spring facing the stage as it's turning lets her wall jump and rebound on the spring. She can double jump from the far left platform to the right platform with ease. She can even jump all the way to the wheel with a Screw Attack.
