==Origin==

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==

Dark Samus appears as a trophy and as a sticker. Additionally, a "Dark Samus" appears in [[Co-Op Event 7: Battle of the Dark Sides]], though it is merely a blackened version of Samus and not the actual Dark Samus. It teams up with [[Dark Link]] against two players that play as their normal counterparts, with Link as player one and Samus as player two.

* Her first attack involves firing a volley from her {{s|metroidwiki|Arm Cannon}} straight forward, dealing multiple low damage hits and knocking opponents away on the final hit. The volley deals a total of 21% and has low knockback.

* The third attack only occurs if she is near an opponent. In this case, she generates Phazon tentacles to erupt from the ground, which deal 12% and have moderate knockback.

Dark Samus' color scheme is also the basis of one of Samus' [[Alternate costume (SSB4)#Samus|alternate costumes]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://miiverse.nintendo.net/replies/AYMHAAACAAAYUKllULyh8Q |title=Director's Room |accessdate=2016-02-05 |author=Masahiro Sakurai |date=2014-09-03 |publisher=Miiverse |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20171017180512/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADMUKl_zHGQzw |archivedate=2017-10-17 |quote=…And here she is in the color schemes of the Gravity Suit from Metroid Prime, Green Samus (a regular in the Smash series), the Light Suit, and Dark Samus. A total of eight colors.}}</ref> In the [[Galactic Avenger]] [[Event Match]], this color scheme is used to simulate Samus battling Dark Samus. Similarly, the color scheme appears in the [[Final Battle Team-Up]] co-op Event Match that features several playable antagonists as opponents.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==

As an [[Echo Fighter]] of {{SSBU|Samus}}, Dark Samus is virtually identical in regard to function, although she does deviate from Samus in a few ways.<ref name=Direct/> As with other Echo Fighters, she has different animations, taunts, and victory poses (including a distinct victory fanfare).<ref name=Sakurai/> Unlike Samus, Dark Samus' rolls do not involve her transforming into a {{s|metroidwiki|Morph Ball}}, but are compensated with slightly less ending lag. She also uses Phazon in her moveset, which is indicated by blue flames with the [[electric]] [[effect]] for all [[Missile|but]] [[Bomb (Samus)|two]] of Samus' respective [[flame]]-based moves, and dark blue energy for both [[Charge Shot]] and [[Phazon Laser]] (her version of the {{b|Zero Laser|Samus}}).

*Dark Samus is the second playable character to be created outside of Japan, and the first to be created in the United States.

**She is also the second playable character not created by Nintendo to be solely created by a Nintendo-owned subsidiary (being [[Retro Studios]]). The first was [[Shulk]], who was created by [[Monolith Soft]].
