In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Samus can use the Grapple Beam, which is very similar in appearance to its ''Super Metroid'' incarnation. The Grapple Beam in ''Super Smash Bros.'' can be used to simply harm an opponent, if Samus uses it while airborne (not in the [[Super Smash Bros. (game)|original ''Super Smash Bros.'']]), or she can use it to grab opponents while she is on the ground. The Grapple Beam is much slower here than most appearances due to it's long-range grab nature. Additionally, it can be used as a [http://www.ssbwiki.com/Tether_recovery tether], allowing Samus to grab on to a ledge in midair. Zero Suit Samus has an ability similar to the Grapple Beam known as the Plasma Wire.
