Dark Samus was confirmed to appear in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' as a playable character on August 8, 2018 during the first ''Ultimate''-centered Nintendo Direct, being announced alongside {{SSBU|Simon}}, {{SSBU|Richter}}, {{SSBU|Chrom}}, and {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}. According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], Dark Samus and fellow Echo Fighter [[Chrom]] were included because of significant fan demand from overseas and Japan, respectively.<ref name=Sakurai>[https://www.sourcegaming.info/2018/08/22/more-information-about-the-smash-direct-sakurais-famitsu-column-vol-561/ "More Information about the Smash Direct" Sakurai's Famitsu Column Vol. 561]</ref> Unlike in ''Brawl'', Dark Samus's design is one again based on her appearance in ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption''.

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. As with other Echo Fighters, she has different animations, taunts, and victory poses (including a distinct victory fanfare). Most notably, Dark Samus' rolls do not involve her transforming into a {{s|metroidwiki|Morph Ball}}, but are compensated with slightly less ending lag. In addition, she uses Phazon for all [[Missile|but]] [[Bomb (Samus)|two]] of Samus' respective [[flame]]-based moves, which is indicated by blue flames with the [[electric]] effect.
