Super Smash Brothers Melee, known as Dairantō Smash Brothers DX (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズDX^?, lit. "Great Melee Smash Brothers Deluxe") in Japan, is a 2.5D fighting game for the Nintendo GameCube and the sequel to Super Smash Bros. Many aspects of the game from the original were improved on, such as graphics and the inclusion of more characters and arenas.

Classic

In the 1-P Classic Mode, the player can fight Samus Aran on the Brinstar stage. She can also appear in metal form near the end of Classic Mode.

Adventure

In the 1-P Adventure Mode, the player fights Samus on the Brinstar stage and then has to escape the exploding planet Zebes afterwards, much like the ending of Metroid or Super Metroid. The player does not have to escape but he or she does lose a life if time runs out.

Event Matches

In the 1-P Event Match Mode, Samus appears in several levels. She is one of the characters the player must fight in Bomb Fest (the other one being Link), Girl Power (along with Princess Zelda and Princess Peach Toadstool), and Hot Date on Brinstar (by herself). Samus is also the playable character in the events Cold Armour, where she must fight three metal versions of herself, and The Bounty Hunters, where she must compete against Captain Falcon to KO Bowser.

Samus

Samus is one of the 14 characters available from the start.

Costumes

Orange and Red: Varia Suit
Pink: Similar to the appearance of the Varia Suit when missiles are selected in the original NES Metroid.

Purple and Blue: Similar to the Gravity Suit in Super Metroid.

Items

The Metroid series' first (and only) Super Smash Bros. item, the Screw Attack, debuted in Melee. In this game, it was a held object that would cause a character's jumps to become Screw Attacks. The ball could also be thrown at an opponent to damage them and force them to involuntarily perform the maneuver.

Stages

Two stages derrived from the Metroid series appear in Melee. Planet Zebes: Brinstar is available from the start of the game, and the Planet Zebes: Brinstar Depths stage is unlockable.

Trophies

Samus Aran (x3)
Screw Attack
