Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the third installment in the Super Smash Bros. series, after Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. It is for the Wii, and Samus Aran is a playable character. The game also has Zero Suit Samus as a playable character after Samus performs her Final Smash move (Zero Laser), does a Special Taunt, or if the player holds down the guard button on the controller before selecting a stage. It has a Metroid based stage, Norfair, which is based on the area of the same name. It also has another stage called the Frigate Orpheon, based on the original Pirate frigate that Samus infiltrates in Metroid Prime. Players can use different suit colors of Samus as they could in the past games, swapping palette in the suit texture. Three of the palette swaps resemble Samus in her Fusion Suit from Metroid Fusion, her Gravity Suit, her Dark Suit from Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and two other colors are Green and Pink schemes. A Metroid appears as an Assist Trophy.

Ridley appears as a boss in the Subspace Emissary adventure mode in both his regular form and as Meta Ridley.

Sheegoth, Space Pirate, Metroid Prime (exoskeleton and core essence), Dark Samus, Parasite Queen, Screw Attack, Luminoth, Ridley, Meta Ridley, and Samus in her Power, Dark, Gravity, Fusion, Zero, and Varia Suits are all featured as collectable Trophies. Space Pirate, Zebes Inhabitant, Ridley, Warrior Ing, and Samus's various suits and gunships are collectable Stickers, among many others.

[edit] Playable

[edit] Samus

"Her name is Samus Aran. She joins us from the Metroid games. Look at her Power Suit shine! Her arm cannon is equipped with a variety of weapons. Mastering all of them is the first step toward victory. When she’s wearing her Power Suit, Samus is actually quite agile. She’s also very easy to control in the air. So she must be able to perform a lot of good midair moves, right?"

[edit] Samus's Special Moves
  • Standard Special Move Charge Shot- "If you’re going to use Samus, you can’t forget the Charge Shot. Just keep your cool and charge up the shot."
  • Side Special Move Missile- "The normal Missile will home in on enemies, but the Super Missile has more speed and destructive power. To launch the Super Missile, do a side smash move and hold the special-move button. If you’re using the Wii Remote held sideways, press and hold the 1 Button and the direction."
  • Up Special Move Screw Attack
  • Down Special Move Morph Ball Bomb
  • Final Smash Zero Laser- "That weapon is extremely powerful. Her opponents’ damage meters skyrocket! ...But afterward, Samus has a problem."

[edit] Zero Suit Samus

"When Samus destroys her Power Suit, she’s left with the Zero Suit. What she’s lost in power and weaponry, she makes up for in speed! Once she turns that Paralyzer in her hand into a whip, she has quite a long reach as well! Not exactly the straightforward fight you thought it was, huh?"

[edit] Zero Suit Samus's Special Moves
  • Standard Special Move Paralyzer- "A personal protection device, the paralyzer stuns opponents. If you can charge it up for a bit, you can land additional attacks while your opponent is stunned."
  • Side Special Move Plasma Whip- "The flash at the tip of this short whip is quite powerful!"
  • Up Special Move Plasma Wire- "These two moves can be used to grab and hang from an edge. They can reach even if the ledge is pretty far away, so pay close attention to distance and timing and aim to dangle from the edge."
  • Down Special Move Flip Jump
  • Final Smash Power Suit Samus- "When you let loose with Zero Suit Samus’s Final Smash, she reequips her Power Suit. Yes, Zero Suit Samus isn’t the stoutest of fighters, so picking up a Smash Ball is cause for relief. The whirl of energy that appears before Zero Suit Samus’s transformation sucks enemies into the chaos."

[edit] Boss Characters

[edit] Ridley

Ridley appears as the fifth boss during the Subspace Emissary, in which Samus and Pikachu must fight him. In the cutscene prior to the battle, Ridley ambushes and grabs Samus, flying upward and scraping her along the walls. Pikachu breaks Samus free from Ridley's grasp using Thunder (a possible reference to the Pokemon type advantage system, where electricity can easily cripple flying type pokemon). In the first battle, Ridley has higher health and uses moves ranging from claw swipes to a move similar to Rayquaza's Extremespeed to a tailswipe across the entire stage. The tailswipe can do major damage (The move can do around 70% damage if other person at 0% damage) on harder difficulties and the extreme speed move is a main killing move. He flies from one side to the other and is similar in style to Master Hand in the way of how it attacks and then pauses. Meta-Ridley, his form in Metroid Prime, later attacks Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, C. Falcon, Olimar, Samus, Pikachu, and R.O.B.

Ridley and his Meta-Ridley form are resurrected by Tabuu, their true leader, in the Great Maze to face down the heroes. Oddly enough, they are resurrected as separate beings.

[edit] Meta Ridley

After R.O.B., Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong, Captain Falcon, Pikachu, Samus, and Captain Olimar make their way out of the doomed Bomb Factory flying away in the Falcon Flyer, they are attacked from behind by the resurrected Meta Ridley, who is out for revenge on Samus and Pikachu. As such, he serves as the seventh boss.

Meta Ridley's attacks can additionally send the Falcon Flyer reeling about. In this battle, he is attacking the ship as well and you have 2 minutes to beat him, similar to the battle in Metroid Prime 3. He has completely different moves from Ridley and you have to jump whenever he hits the ship or you could fall. He is later defeated when he is burnt by the Falcon Flyer's engines and the massive amounts of Subspace Bombs explode, covering the island in Subspace, taking everything in it, including the charred remains of Meta Ridley, into the Subspace. Tabuu, the leader of Subspace, revives Meta Ridley in The Great Maze to attack the heroes (oddly, both Ridley and Meta Ridley appear in The Great Maze, they might be clones), but is defeated like last time, presumably leaving him out of the picture for good.

Trophy Stands appear frequently due to the limited time, even on easy difficulties, especially if the character is equipped with a strong Trophy Stand producing Sticker.

[edit] Masterpieces

A 3 minute Super Metroid demo can be unlocked in the game. The game begins at the file select screen, though the player can go back to the title screen. The save-files begin before the opening cutscene, at a later point in Norfair, and one saved after the cutscene at 0:00.

File 2 is at 3:14, with 160/230 missiles, 45/50 super missiles, 40/50 power bombs, 13/14 Energy Tanks, 3/4 Reserve Tanks, and all of the upgrades aside from the Plasma Beam. Notably, the Gravity Suit is turned off in this file (though it can be turned back on).
