The '''Screw Attack''' is a powerful ability which turns [[Samus Aran|Samus's]] armor into a weapon. Its first appearance was in the original ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]'' and has been an upgrade in most subsequent games since, absent in only [[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]] and [[Metroid Prime Hunters]]. The Screw Attack allows Samus to somersault into enemies, killing them instantly. Some enemies can only be destroyed with the Screw Attack. Very few enemies are resistant to it. It does not work underwater if Samus does not have the Gravity Suit. | The '''Screw Attack''' is a powerful ability which turns [[Samus Aran|Samus's]] armor into a weapon.

It retains a similar function in [[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes| Metroid Prime 2]] and [[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption| Metroid Prime 3]], with some added capabilities. It allows Samus to jump up to seven times instead of the usual two which she can use to cross large distances easily. It also allows Samus to scale [[Wall Jump Surface|certain walls]]. The [[Gravity Boost]] activates underwater instead of the Screw Attack preventing Samus from using it while submerged.<ref name=Echoes/> | It retains a similar function in [[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes| Metroid Prime 2]] and [[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption| Metroid Prime 3]], with some added capabilities.

Samus can use the Screw Attack in every game in the Super Smash Bros. Series as one of her Special Moves as well as one of her recovery moves.<ref name=melee/> | |||
In [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], it is also an item that can be held and used by other characters. Whenever the character jumped, the Screw Attack activates. It can also be thrown, causing the target to do the Screw Attack.<ref name=melee/> In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], it is a badge that cannot be thrown but otherwise works the same.<ref name=brawl/> | |||
