'''Samus Aran''' is an intergalactic [[Bounty Hunter]] and the main protagonist of the ''[[Metroid (series)|Metroid]]'' series. Her first appearance was in the original ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]'', released in 1986. Her birth planet is [[K-2L]], an earth colony. Samus Aran is a bounty hunter of prestige fame, often employed by the [[Galactic Federation]]. Samus's history is somewhat mysterious and is often left with wide gaps. Her past is best described in the [[Metroid Manga]], although [[Nintendo]] has never directly confirmed whether the manga is canon or non-canon; some images from the Manga appear in the Japanese ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'' Gallery. Other than the Metroid Manga, primary sources for her history are ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'' | '''Samus Aran''' is an intergalactic [[Bounty Hunter]] and the main protagonist of the ''[[Metroid (series)|Metroid]]'' series.

Before she reaches the Control Room, Samus is confronted by the SA-X. She manages to reduce it to its base X form, though it flees before she can absorb it. She reaches the docking bay, only to find her ship missing and an [[Omega Metroid]] waiting in its place. It attacks her, leaving her at the brink of death. Before it can kill her, however, the SA-X appears, assumes its Samus form, and attacks the Omega Metroid with its Ice Beam. The Omega Metroid damages it and permanently reduces it to its base form. Samus absorbs the SA-X, regains the Ice Beam, and brutally assaults the Omega Metroid with shots to its chest. It dies, Samus's ship returns, and she escapes the station just before it collides with SR388, obliterating both. | Before she reaches the Control Room, Samus is confronted by the SA-X.

Samus has appeared in every installment of the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros. series]]''. Her basic special attack is her Charge Beam, which she begins charging when the B button is pressed. She will finish charging when the B button is pressed again, or the beam is fully charged. This can then be fired by pressing B once more. She can fire Missiles, which can either home in on opponents, but with weak attack power, or speed them up, at the expense of their homing capabilities. She also has the ability to switch to [[Morph Ball]] form temporarily in order to drop [[Morph Ball Bomb|Bombs]]. Bombs can be used to perform 'bomb jumps' in a similar manner as the ''Prime'' series. She uses her Morph Ball form for another attack, Screw Attack, which attacks opponents while jumping highly. She also has a Grapple Beam, which can be used to grab opponents, or the edge of the stage, helping her chances of survival. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', she also gains the ability to switch between [[Power Suit]] and [[Zero Suit Samus|Zero Suit]] form via her Final Smash. For her Power Suit Final Smash, Zero Laser, she fires a massive full-power beam, which will (almost all the time) KO anyone in it's path, the power of which is so great it shatters her Power Suit, leaving her in Zero Suit form. The broken remnants of the Power Suit can then be picked up and thrown at opponents to cause a small amount of damage. To regain the Power Suit, Zero Suit Samus must utilize her Final Smash again. | |||

Samus also has a major role in ''Brawl'''s Subspace Emissary mode. She infiltrates the [[smashwiki:The Research Facility (Part II)|Research Facility]] in search of her Power Suit. During her search, she finds [[bulbapedia:Pikachu|Pikachu]] being used as a power source, which appears to be physically painful. Samus rescues the [[bulbapedia:Pokémon|Pokémon]], which alerts the [[mariowiki:R.O.B.|R.O.B.]]s stationed throughout the facility to her presence. She and Pikachu fight their way through the facility, eventually coming upon three Power Suit clones. They appear to be clad in the Gravity Suit and have glowing purple visors. The pair defeats the clones, and Samus regains her suit. Her victory is short-lived, however, as they soon encounter Ridley, who grabs Samus and scrapes her against the wall. Using its [[bulbapedia:Thunder (move)|Thunder]] attack, Pikachu rescues the bounty hunter from the Pirate leader's clutches, and a battle ensues.

The series parodies many icons from pop culture and other recent modern events, with ''Gaming's Next Top Princess'' focusing on [[Nintendo]] females, parodying the television series ''{{wp|America's Next Top Model}}''. Samus, along with [[mariowiki:Princess Peach|Princess Peach]] and [[zeldawiki:Princess Zelda|Zelda]] were the three finalists in the ''America's Next Top Model'' challenge. Samus might have won, but they did not reveal it.
