====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
Dark Samus's debut into the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series is as a collectable trophy and sticker in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. She also appears as an opponent alongside Dark Link in the Event Match Battle of the Dark Sides (although in that particular case, she was depicted as simply a dark silhouette of Samus). The sticker gives an 11+ increase in resistance.

====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''====
Dark Samus appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', where she utilizes several attacks from the ''Metroid Prime'' series, including her scattershot. She can also be "attacked" to a certain extent, having her flinch if hit. Once she's done, she lifts her arm cannon up slightly before vanishing. She also is referenced in one of Samus Aran's palette swaps.

====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
{{new subject|section=yes}}
Dark Samus is set to debut as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as an Echo Fighter of Samus. Dark Samus shares the same moveset, but with different properties. Dark Samus also floats in a fashion similar to [[Mewtwo]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXG-oI6VChg</ref>

====Special moves====
=====Charge Shot=====

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Missile}}
The '''[[metroidwiki:Missile|Missile]]''' is Dark Samus's side special move. Like with Samus, she can shoot regular Missiles or Super Missiles, though her Missiles are green, having been infused with Phazon.

=====Screw Attack=====
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Screw Attack (move)}}
The '''[[metroidwiki:Screw Attack|Screw Attack]]''' is Dark Samus's up special move.

=====Bomb=====
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Bomb (Samus)}}
The '''[[metroidwiki:Morph Ball Bomb|Bomb]]''' is Dark Samus's down special move.

====Final Smash====
Dark Samus's [[Final Smash]] is similar to Samus's [[smashwiki:Zero Laser|Zero Laser]], though it is colored black rather than blue.

| align=center | A twin image of Samus, encountered near the beginning of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Dark Samus is identical to Samus in every way but color--she even uses similar attacks. There are many theories on the origin of Dark Samus, but none are proven. Dark Samus uses Phazon for energy and can absorb it to heal damage. Samus encounters Dark Samus a number of times.
