The Gunship appears throughout the ''{{uv|Metroid}}'' series, first appearing in ''Metroid II: Return of Samus''. Her trusty starship is there when Samus needs to ride around the galaxy. She uses it as a resting place to regain health and ammunition; it also functions as a save point for players to save game data. The front of it also appears to be based on the design of the front of her helmet.

Samus's most iconic Gunship has appeared frequently in both the ''Metroid'' and ''Smash'' series, with minor design alterations between ''Super Metroid'', ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'', and ''Metroid: Other M'' reflected by its appearances throughout the ''Smash'' series. However, other ships have been used by Samus over the years, two of which have been the basis of [[sticker]]s in ''Brawl''. Her original ship in ''Metroid: Zero Mission'' is shot down by Space Pirate vessels after the defeat of [[Mother Brain]]. She replaces her lost ship with a new Starship, seen in ''Metroid Prime'' and ''Metroid Prime Hunters''. In ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'' and ''Metroid Prime: Federation Force'', Samus has a ship that she can control remotely via the Command Visor to fire missiles at targets. Finally, after her iconic ship crashes into an asteroid belt in ''Metroid Fusion'', Samus receives a new Galactic Federation Starship with the A.I. of Adam Malkovich as an onboard computer.

Samus' Gunship as it appears in Metroid: Other M.
Not to be confused with the Subspace Gunship or Gunship (Final Smash).

The Gunship (スターシップ, Starship), also referred to as the Starship, is Samus Aran's spacecraft.

Origin[edit]

Samus' Gunship as it appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

The Gunship appears throughout the Metroid series, first appearing in Metroid II: Return of Samus. Her trusty starship is there when Samus needs to ride around the galaxy. She uses it as a resting place to regain health and ammunition; it also functions as a save point for players to save game data. The front of it also appears to be based on the design of the front of her helmet.

Samus's most iconic Gunship has appeared frequently in both the Metroid and Smash series, with minor design alterations between Super Metroid, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and Metroid: Other M reflected by its appearances throughout the Smash series. However, other ships have been used by Samus over the years, two of which have been the basis of stickers in Brawl. Her original ship in Metroid: Zero Mission is shot down by Space Pirate vessels after the defeat of Mother Brain. She replaces her lost ship with a new Starship, seen in Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime Hunters. In Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Metroid Prime: Federation Force, Samus has yet another ship of a different design, that she can control remotely via the Command Visor to fire missiles at targets. Finally, after her iconic ship crashes into an asteroid belt in Metroid Fusion, Samus receives a new Galactic Federation Starship with the A.I. of Adam Malkovich as an onboard computer. Samus continues to use this particular gunship as her mode of transport in Metroid Dread, and part of the plot is Samus attempting to make her way back to it from the depths of planet ZDR.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]

Samus's Starship in the opening movie of Super Smash Bros. Melee, along with the Great Fox and Blue Falcon.

The ship appears in the game's opening movie, and as a trophy. Its design is derived from Metroid II: Return of Samus, with the color scheme from Super Metroid.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

The Gunship in The Subspace Emissary.

Samus's gunship appears as a trophy and as three stickers in Brawl. It is also seen in Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary, with the updated design seen in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

Role in the Subspace Emissary[edit]

After the Halberd is destroyed by the Subspace Gunship, the Gunship emerges, along with the Falcon Flyer, one of the Star Fox fighters' Arwings and the Hocotate Ship. Engaging the ship, Samus and her fellow fighters kept it distracted while Kirby destroys it with the Dragoon. The gunship then follows Kirby's Dragoon into Subspace.

Now using its Metroid: Other M design, Samus's gunship appears as part of Zero Suit Samus's new Final Smash, where she uses the ship's weapons to fire at other players from the foreground. It is also featured as part of her on-screen appearance.

Trophy[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the gunship also returns as a trophy (separate from the one that depicts the Final Smash). It is a challenge reward, earned by clearing the true Solo All-Star Mode as Zero Suit Samus without recovering any health between rounds.
