{{improve|by adding the latest Smash Bros. information}}

'''Zero Suit Samus''' is the title used to refer to [[Samus Aran]] while she is wearing only her [[Zero Suit]]. Zero Suit Samus first appears at the final stages of ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]''. She also appeared as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and will be playable in the upcoming ''[[Metroid in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Super Smash Bros. Wii U]]'' and ''[[Metroid in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS|Super Smash Bros. 3DS]]'' games.

Her latest playable appearance was in ''[[Metroid: Other M]]'', but she did appear in her Zero Suit in cutscenes in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'', ''[[Metroid Prime Hunters]]'', and ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''.

==Appearances==
===''Metroid: Zero Mission''===
[[File:Zero Suit Samus zm Artwork 1.png|left|200px|Zero Suit Samus in ''Zero Mission'']]
In ''Metroid: Zero Mission'', Samus loses all of her abilities after fighting [[Mother Brain]], leaving her stripped down to the Zero Suit and an [[Paralyzer|Emergency Pistol]]. Equipped with only these most basic items, Samus manages to traverse the [[Space Pirate Mother Ship]] and reclaim her old abilities along with new ones (the [[Gravity Suit]], [[Plasma Beam]], and [[Space Jump]]). This expanded suit is commonly known as the [[Legendary Power Suit]].

===''[[Metroid Prime (series)|Metroid Prime]]'' Series===

Samus appears briefly in her Zero Suit in the ending sequence cutscenes in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'' and ''[[Metroid Prime Hunters]]'', and in the opening and ending sequences in ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''. At no point is she playable without her Power Suit in any of the ''Prime'' games, however.

===''Metroid: Other M''===
Zero Suit Samus is first shown in a cutscene in which Samus is being rehabilitated after her [[Super Metroid|return]] from planet [[Zebes]] before beginning training. She appears in another cutscene after she is knocked unconscious by [[Adam Malkovich]] to prevent her from entering [[Sector Zero]]. After defeating [[Phantoon]], Samus finds Adam's helmet and deactivates her Power Suit. A countdown is started, and Samus must escape the [[Bottle Ship]] clad only in her Zero Suit and armed only with the Paralyzer.

Zero Suit Samus is notably more agile but weaker than other characters. When she is obtained, her speed makes dodging and landing hits easy, but at the price of lowered offensive capabilities. Her recovery is excellent, but not the best, as those spots are occupied by flying characters. 

Zero Suit Samus can be chosen at the start of a match on any mode by holding down the shield button (variable depending on the controller choice, Z on a default Nunchuck/Wii Remote set) and choosing "Start" (+ on the Nunchuck/Wii Remote set). Additionally, during a match of any sort (excluding the Subspace Emissary) Samus and Zero Suit Samus can switch freely between each other by repeatedly Up-taunting then Down-taunting rapidly. This is known as a Smash Taunt. <ref>[http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/zerosuit_samus.html Smash Dojo]</ref>

===Zero Suit Samus's Moveset===
*'''Special Move''': Zero Suit Samus's Special Move fires her Paralyzer Weapon. It is a short ranged, yet useful weapon that paralyzes the opponent.
*'''Side Special Move''': Zero Suit Samus's Side Special Move is her Plasma Whip, which whips the enemy with a beam from the Paralyzer, causing minor damage.
*'''Up Special Move''': Zero Suit Samus's Up Special Move is her Plasma Wire, which is basically the Plasma Whip that fires upward, and can grab on to ledges.
*'''Grab Move''': Zero Suit Samus's Grab Move is a version of the Plasma Whip that functions the same way as the Grapple Beam.
*'''Final Smash''': Zero Suit Samus's Final Smash restores her Power Suit, while causing damage to opponents.

:'''NTSC-U''': ''Samus is far from helpless when her Power Suit is deactivated. Sure, she loses a lot of the moves and weapons she had access to before, but her Jet Boots pick up the slack! She also has the Paralyzer, a versatile weapon that can shock her rivals or change into a Plasma Whip to grab edges and enemies.''<br><br>'''PAL''': Without her Power Suit, Samus Aran may not have her usual strength, specials moves or over-powered arm cannon, but her Jet Boots definitely kick things up a notch in their own way. The Paralyzer, her gun, does just what you'd expect it to, but it can also turn into a whip for attacking and grabbing onto edges while falling.

:'''NTSC-U''': ''Zero Suit Samus's up special Boost Kick involves a series of fast kicks that end with a swift, sideways-launching one. A perfectly executed attack will hit eight times! Her down special Flip Jump can bury a grounded fighter in the dirt. She can kick midflip by pressing the special button.''<br><br>'''PAL''': Zero Suit Samus's Boost Kick up special finishes with a swift sideways kick. If you start the move close to an opponent, you can hit them up to eight times and launch them sideways! Her main down special, Flip Jump, buries opponents if you land on them at the end of it. Alternatively, press the button again mid-flip for a drop kick.

In Zero Suit Samus's Final Smash, she can use her Gunship to fire powerful beams at other fighters, hitting them multiple times, even if they're hiding off-screen! At least they can be thankful it doesn't go on forever.''<br><br>'''PAL''': Samus's spaceship carries her through space and serves as her base of operations during her missions. Zero Suit Samus will call down and board her Gunship with her Final Smash. Once she's in the pilot's seat, she has a short time to unleash up to five powerful shots from the ship's weapons. Foes aren't safe even hiding off-screen!

==Trivia==
*When a player is in the section of ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'' where Zero Suit Samus is playable, Zero Suit Samus's face, rather than a helmeted Samus, will appear when choosing the file on the start screen.
