Dark Samus is a character from the Metroid series, specifically the Metroid Prime games. She has made appearances in the Super Smash Bros. series, specifically in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Dark Samus appears as a trophy and as a sticker. Her sticker is artwork of her Metroid Prime 2: Echoes; its effect is Resistance +11, and is only usable by Samus/Zero Suit Samus. Additionally, a "Dark Samus" appears in Co-Op Event 7: Battle of the Dark Sides, though it is merely a blackened version of Samus and not her Phazon doppelganger.

Trophy description

A twin image of Samus, encountered near the beginning of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Dark Samus is identical to Samus in every way but color—she even uses similar attacks. There are many theories on the origin of Dark Samus, but none are proven. Dark Samus uses Phazon for energy and can absorb it to heal damage. Samus encounters Dark Samus a number of times.

: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

The description is inaccurate as Dark Samus' suit is a warped version of hers, and her origins are known: she was reincarnated from Metroid Prime when it absorbed Samus' Phazon Suit at the end of Metroid Prime.

Dark Samus appears as an Assist Trophy in these games. Her attacks have been confirmed to be firing her arm cannon and summoning Phazon tentacles from the ground. She also poses with her Arm Cannon in front of her face. Her design in this game is based on Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
