In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', Samus does not transform into Zero Suit Samus after the laser is shot, as {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}} is her own character now. The laser is thinner than before, but it now fires faster.

==Glitch==
===Glitch===
A glitch can be performed with this Final Smash that makes it so Samus doesn't transform to Zero Suit Samus, as well as the Laser resulting in a non-damaging energy ball. Performing it is the same as performing the other [[regenerating terrain glitch]]es.

==Trophy Description==
==Origin==
The move is unique to ''Smash Bros.'' Originally, Samus's Power Suit is somehow lost in a crash when her starship is shot down in ''Metroid: Zero Mission'', not involving any type of beam on her part.
 
The move seems to have been inspired by the [http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Hypermode Hypermode] state, a state Samus could access while in a pile of Phazon. In both ''Metroid Prime'' and ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'', this move was used as an attack method to defeat Metroid Prime and [[Dark Samus]]; it is strikingly similar to the Zero Laser, although, this beam actually consists of two beams intertwined and rapidly fires streams of Phazon beams instead of one massive beam. Rival bounty hunter Gandrayda can use a move nearly identical to the Zero Laser when mimicking Samus's form in ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'', though due to the game's release date, this is likely a coincidence or a possible reference to ''Brawl'' instead.
 
The Zero Laser may also have been inspired by the Hyper Beam, an extremely powerful attack used against Mother Brain at the end of ''Super Metroid'', though their appearances differ, as well as the Hyper Beam having no known detrimental effects.
 
Dark Samus’ Zero Laser bears a strong resemblance to the dark laser she fires in the final boss fight against her in ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'', where she discharges excess amounts of Phazon energy to maintain stability.

*Zooming in on the Zero Laser Trophy in ''SSB4'', one can see Samus's helmet opens up at the top of her head, revealing the same black fabric used on other parts of the suit. This does not happen during gameplay.
 
*In the trailer for ''SSB4'', the laser is coloured differently to how it is in the final game.
