| '''Samus Aran''' is the protagonist of the [[metroidwiki:Metroid (series)|''Metroid'' series]] and an intergalactic bounty hunter who occasionally makes crossover appearances with the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]]. She was orphaned as a young girl through the combined efforts of [[Ridley]] and the [[metroidwiki:Space Pirate|Space Pirate]]s and was adopted by the surviving members of the bird-like [[metroidwiki:Chozo|Chozo]] race. She was infused with Chozo blood and was given a [[Power Suit]]. After a brief stint as a member of the [[metroidwiki:Galactic Federation|Galactic Federation]], she then decided to become a bounty hunter and fight the Space Pirates, including Ridley. The series was created by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]'s mentor, [[Gunpei Yokoi]].

| |
| In the [[NES]] version of the game ''Tetris'', Samus appears along with [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Bowser]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Pit]], and [[Link]] in a secret ending.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Tetris DS]]'' Samus can be found on the title screen shooting [[Tetrimino]]s. She is also seen on the top screen progressing through an area from ''Metroid'' on Level 12 of Marathon Mode.
| |
| | |
| Samus also has her own game mode called Catch. In this mode, a block floats up through a ''Metroid''-style corridor. The other tetriminos must attach to it and form a square. The square then explodes, earning the Player points. [[Assist Trophy#Metroid|Metroid]]s also appear in this mode as enemies and must be avoided.

| |
| In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Samus is a heavy, slow character, but has many powerful attacks. Despite being very heavy, however, Samus falls at a slow speed. Several of her moves make use of her arm cannon, while her special moves are all based on the equipment she obtains in the ''Metroid'' series.
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Smash Bros.''====
| |
| [[File:SamushSmash.PNG|frame|left|Samus in ''Super Smash Bros.'']]
| |
| {{main|SmashWiki:Samus (SSB)}}
| |
| Samus is one of the default characters in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''. Her appearance is based upon the Varia Suit as it appears in ''[[metroidwiki:Super Metroid|Super Metroid]]''. In the game's single player mode, she is fought on the [[Planet Zebes]] stage.
| |
| | |
| Samus's neutral special move is the [[Charge Shot]], which allows her to charge up a blast and fire it. Her up special move is the [[Screw Attack (move)|Screw Attack]], in which she jumps up with an electric barrier around her to damage opponents. Her down special is the [[Bomb (Metroid)|Bomb]], in which she turns into the Morph Ball and drops a bomb. In addition, Samus uses the [[metroidwiki:Grapple Beam|Grapple Beam]] as her grab move, which gives her a ranged grab.
| |
| | |
| One of Samus's alternate costumes is based upon the [[metroidwiki:Gravity Suit|Gravity Suit]]; while the one officially noted as the Gravity Suit appears similar to the in-game sprite in ''Super Metroid'', her purple costume resembles the suit in official artwork and subsequent games. In addition, while not based upon any aspect of the ''Metroid'' series, her green costume is referred to as "mass-produced Samus," a reference to the [[wikipedia:Gundam|Gundam]] series.

| | |
| ====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====
| |
| {{main|SmashWiki:Samus (SSBM)}}
| |
| [[File:MeleeSamus.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Samus as she appears in ''Melee''.]]
| |
| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Samus is once again a default character. She is faced during the first portion of stage 4, which is set in [[Brinstar]].
| |
| | |
| While Samus's moveset is unchanged from the previous game, she has been given a side special move, the [[Missile]], in which she can fire either a homing missile or a Super Missile. The Grapple Beam has also been changed, allowing Samus to use it in midair and cling to walls to climb up them.
| |
| {{br|left}}
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
| |
| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Samus's moveset is unchanged, though the Grapple Beam has once again been altered to act as a [[Tether Recovery|tether recovery]]. Her [[Final Smash]], the [[Zero Laser]], involves her firing a large beam of energy at opponents, though afterward the Power Suit falls apart, leaving Samus as [[Zero Suit Samus]]. Zero Suit Samus can regain the Power Suit by using her Final Smash, [[Power Suit Samus]].
| |
| | |
| One of Samus's new alternate costumes in this game is based upon the [[metroidwiki:Fusion Suit|Fusion Suit]] from ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid Fusion|Metroid Fusion]]'', while another is based upon the [[metroidwiki:Dark Suit|Dark Suit]] from ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid Prime 2: Echos|Metroid Prime 2: Echos]]''.

| | |
| =====The Subspace Emissary=====
| |
| [[File:SubspaceIntro-Samus.png|thumb|right|'''Samus''''s snapshot in The Subspace Emissary.]]
| |
| Samus begins the Subspace Emissary in her [[Zero Suit Samus|Zero Suit]], infiltrating a sinister laboratory. After making her way through it, she encounters [[Pikachu]] trapped within a strange device that harnesses its electrical energy to provide power to the complex. Seeing that the device causes Pikachu pain, Samus breaks the machine. In thanks, Pikachu helps Samus continue through the lab. Eventually, the pair come across Samus's Power Suit within a tank. However, two clones of Samus, wearing the purple Gravity Suit, approach them, prompting Samus and Pikachu to battle. When they are defeated, an alarm begins to wail, and the [[R.O.B.]] Squad approaches. Samus regains her Power Suit and blasts her way through them, along with Pikachu.
| |
| | |
| As they attempt to escape the complex, however, [[Ridley]] strikes without warning, snatching up Samus and attacking her. Pikachu uses [[Pikachu#Thunder|Thunder]] to free her, and the two face off against Ridley.
| |
| | |
| After escaping from the facility, Samus and Pikachu discover another Subspace Army base producing [[Subspace Bomb]]s. The two infiltrate it, and after fighting their way through, discover the [[Ancient Minister]] in a room filled with Subspace Bombs. The allies prepare to battle, but the Ancient Minister does not seem to want to fight them. [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Captain Falcon]], and [[Captain Olimar]] then break into the room, and all of them, including Samus, witness the Ancient Minister defy [[Ganondorf]]'s commands. As a result, the R.O.B. Squad fires upon him, burning off his robe and revealing that he is a R.O.B., as well. It turns out that all of the R.O.B.s had beem forced to work with the Subspace Army, with the main R.O.B., the Master Robot, as their leader. The rest of the R.O.B.s activate all the Subspace Bombs in the room, forcing all of them to escape. As they rush to the exit aboard Captain Falcon's [[Falcon Flyer]], [[Ridley|Meta Ridley]] races after them. The group defeats the space dragon once more, and escapes just before R.O.B.s' island home is engulfed in Subspace.
| |
| | |
| They then meet up with [[Mario]], [[Link]], [[Kirby]], [[Pit]], [[Yoshi]], the [[Ice Climbers]], [[Marth]], [[Ike]], [[Lucas]], the [[Pokémon Trainer]], [[Meta Knight]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Princess Zelda]], [[Lucario]], [[Snake]], [[Fox McCloud]], [[Falco Lombardi]], and [[Mr. Game & Watch]]. All of them witness a [[Subspace Gunship]] emerge from Subspace. Samus's ship is among the ones that attack it.
| |
| | |
| Samus, along with all the other characters except for [[King Dedede]], [[Luigi]], and [[Ness]], is turned into a trophy by [[Tabuu]]. Her trophy is obtained by Dedede's team, and she subsequently joins everyone else in [[The Great Maze]], where they eventually defeat Tabuu.

| ====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''====
| |
| Samus returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''<ref name="E3 2013">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13D1I5s236o YouTube - Nintendo Direct @ E3 2013]</ref>, her appearance having been updated to reflect her appearance in ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid: Other M|Metroid: Other M]]''.<ref name="Developer Direct">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQD1yJinzeQ#aid=P-_6kKFPkbY YouTube - Wii U & Nintendo 3DS Developer Direct - Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U @E3 2013]</ref> Her moveset it mostly the same, except she no longer becomes [[Zero Suit Samus]] after using her Final Smash, as she is now a completely separate character. She receives two new alternate costumes, one based on the [[metroidwiki:Light Suit|Light Suit]] from ''Metroid Prime 2: Echos'', and one based on [[Dark Samus]], who also appears as an [[Assist Trophy]].
| |
| | |
| ===''WarioWare'' series===
| |
| Samus also appears in the ''[[WarioWare]]'' games, where she appears in [[microgame]]s modeled after levels from the ''Metroid'' games.
| |
| | |
| A list of the microgames Samus prominently appeared in include:
| |
| | |
| *[[Metroid (WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!)|Metroid]] (''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]], [[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!]]'')

| |
| | |
| ===''Nintendo Land''===
| |
| Samus appears in ''[[Nintendo Land]]'' in the attraction Metroid Blast, where she fights waves of robotic enemies either on foot or from the air (via her [[MetroidWiki:Samus Aran's Gunship|gunship]]). On foot, she can fire her Arm Cannon, enter into her Morph Ball form, and use the Grapple Beam. Charging up her Arm Cannon allows her to fire bombs. From the gunship, Samus can fire missiles.

| | |
| ===''Mario Kart 8''===
| |
| [[File:Samus-Mii.jpg|thumb|right|The Samus outfit for Miis.]]
| |
| Though Samus does not appear in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', her [[amiibo]] is compatible with the game. Placing it on the [[Wii U]] GamePad while in the amiibo menu unlocks a Samus-themed outfit for players to equip upon [[Mii]]s.

Clad in a Power Suit made by the Chozo race and infused with their enhanced blood, she cleared the planet Zebes of a Metroid infestation. Samus is an orphan, the sole survivor of a Space Pirate raid that destroyed an Earth colony named K-2L.

| |
| | Samus has an abundance of projectile weapons, making her a long-distance attack specialist. The most powerful weapon in her arsenal is her Charge Shot, but be warned: it can be reflected. Her missiles have homing capabilities, but when fired as Smash Attacks, they fly on a straight trajectory and have boosted power.

| | While Samus's arsenal of missile weapons is indeed formidable, her enemies are in for a rude awakening if they guard against nothing else. Her Grappling Beam captures foes and latches on to walls, and the Screw Attack drags foes upwards in a series of spins that doubles as a recovery move. Samus can also use her Bombs to perform Bomb Jumps.

| | It's said that the orphaned Samus Aran was raised by the few survivors of the Chozo race. They armed her with a Power Suit and taught her the ways of advanced combat; even burdened with her heavy suit, Samus is as graceful as a butterfly. In the Metroid series, it was standard that Samus would remove her helmet and armor if you cleared the game fast enough.

| |
| *'''Snake''': Sounds like my kind of woman...
| |
| *'''Otacon''': Yeah, well, just don't get too close, Snake. Samus is deadly. After Space Pirates killed her parents, she was raised by the Chozo and trained in the fighting arts. She's been places and seen things that you and me can't even begin to imagine.

| *'''Viridi''': And like Pit's name isn't Icarus!
| |
| *'''Pit''': OK, this joke has officially run its course.
| |
| *'''Palutena''': Moving on, then. Pit, you can reflect Samus's [[Charge Shot]] with your Guardian Orbitars. However, Samus can throw a storm of shots at you. If you use your Orbitars too often, she'll know what you're up to. So try to reflect strategically, as opposed to your...usual game plan.
