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.

In Subspace Emissary, her sticker can only be equipped by Samus and [[Zero Suit Samus]], and gives them a +11 increase in their battering resistance when equipped.
