The Screw Attack made its first appearance in '' | The Screw Attack made its first appearance in ''{{b|Metroid|game}}''. In ''Metroid'', the Screw Attack is a Chozo artifact that allows Samus to attack while somersaulting, which would become the basis of Samus's [[Screw Attack (move)|up special]] in ''Smash''. The Screw Attack upgrade has since appeared in every 2D ''Metroid'' game with the same functionality, although it is obtained from a Core-X Parasite instead of an item in ''Metroid Fusion''. The upgrade also appears with a new design in ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'' and ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'', where it allows Samus to perform continuous mid-air jumps.<!--In Metroid: Other M, Samus already has the Screw Attack and therefore it is never seen in-game as an item.--> | ||
In '' | The item in ''Smash'' is derived from the Screw Attack's design in the 2D ''Metroid'' games. In ''Melee'', the Screw Attack specifically resembles the item as seen in-game<!--the artwork uses a different color palette--> in ''[[Super Metroid]]''; later ''Smash'' games have updated its appearance to match the item's brighter color palette seen in ''Metroid: Zero Mission''. | ||
The Screw Attack's iconic design, resembling a stylized letter "S", also serves as the symbol for the ''Metroid'' series. | |||

When held, the item alters a character's first and second [[jump]]s (leaving any further jumps they may have unchanged), changing them to mimic [[Samus]]' [[up special move]], also named the {{b|Screw Attack|move}}. | When held, the item alters a character's first and second [[jump]]s (leaving any further jumps they may have unchanged), changing them to mimic [[Samus]]'s [[up special move]], also named the {{b|Screw Attack|move}}. | ||
In ''Melee'', it can be [[item throw|throw]]n at an enemy, which forces them to perform the attack. Unlike when using it normally, however, this leaves the victim [[helpless]] in the process. When thrown, Screw Attacks can steal [[KO]]s, since the distance the character rises after getting hit by it depends on how fast the character is getting launched. If characters are launched from a high percentage and get hit by a Screw Attack, they fly up very quickly while performing the Screw Attack and often cross the [[blast line]] for a [[Star KO]]. | In ''Melee'', it can be [[item throw|throw]]n at an enemy, which forces them to perform the attack.
