'''Screw Attack''' in an important item in the [[metroidwiki:Metroid (series)|''Metroid'' series]]. They are also used as weak items in the game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. If the players press A near a Screw Attack, they pick it up. If the players jump with one in their hand, the jump is very similar to [[Samus Aran|Samus's]] third jump, which is also named [[Samus Aran#Screw Attack|Screw Attack]]. Also, if there is another player around the player who jumps with a Screw Attack, that player takes minor damage.

These items can also be thrown at another player for minor damage, though the jumps often lead to combos. Also, when thrown, anyone it hits will automatically perform a Screw Attack. Although this hurts them, if they are close to other players when hit, they will hurt them as well.  Afterwards, the target that got hit by the thrown Screw Attack will enter a helpless state.

The item returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. However, when it is picked up, it attaches itself to the player, much like the [[Franklin Badge]]. This allows players to use the Screw Attack's powers while using another item, but it does not allow players to throw it at others.

| ''One of Samus Aran's power-ups from the original Metroid, the Screw Attack turns a jump into a rotating attack move. When carrying this item, any character's ordinary jump move will turn into a Screw Attack. By the same token, if you throw this item at an enemy, your foe will spontaneously do a Screw Attack.''

Melee, it was an item you carried, but this time around it's a badge you wear--which means you can use it and another item at the same time. There's a good chance you'll be able to string together Screw Attacks and midair strikes for powerful combos.''
