Samus is a heavy fighter who is unusually floaty, a characteristic defying those of her weight class. She utilizes a unique array of powerful projectiles in her arsenal, including [[Charge Shot]] beams, [[missile]]s, and [[bomb]]s. Additionally, new to Samus's ''Project M'' iteration, using her side taunt allows her to switch between either fire and ice elements (with the former being default). This mechanic changes the elements of her forward smash, forward air, up smash, down tilt, and missiles (unusually, it does not change the element for her bombs), which allows Samus to utilize a new set of skills that players are able to use in strategic methods.

===Project+===
In Project+, Samus is one of few characters to have their overall design changed. Her new design incoporates elements from the ''Metroid Prime'' series and ''Metroid: Samus Returns''.
In ''Project+'', Samus is one of few characters to receive a new character model, with said model now incorporating elements from ''Metroid Prime'' series and ''Metroid: Samus Returns''. It received a new blue recolor to replace the one previously inspired by [[Dark Samus]], and an alternate costume inspired by the Phazon Suit from ''Metroid Prime.''
 
Samus' alternate costumes from ''Project M'' were significantly revamped to match the proportions of her new design. In addition, the previously unused PED Suit in ''Project M'' is included as an alternate costume, sharing the same touch ups as her other costumes. The Fusion Suit and the Classic Suit received recolors for team battles, with the recolors for the Fusion Suit inspired by the various suit upgrades in ''Metroid Fusion.''

All costumes introduced in Project M were modified to match the proportions of Samus' new design. In addition, the previously unused PED Suit in Project M is now properly implemented as an alternate costume, sharing the same modifications as her other costumes. The Fusion Suit also received recolors inspired by the suit upgrades in ''Metroid Fusion'' for team battles.

*Samus is the only character who was unable to crawl in ''[[Brawl]]'' but now able to in ''[[Project M]]''.
