Zero Suit Samus (ゼロスーツサムス, Zero Sūtsu Samusu), often abbreviated as ZSS, 0SS or Zamus is Samus Aran without her Power Suit, and is left with her Zero Suit. Its name is taken from Metroid: Zero Mission, the first game to feature the form fitting suit.

Character Description

Samus is covered completely from neck to toe in a form fitting blue suit with pink lights on her back. Her long blonde hair is tied back into a ponytail with a red band. While quicker and more agile without her suit, she is also weaker, resorting to a small handgun to defend herself.

Zero Suit Samus first appeared in, and so got the "Zero Suit" name from, Metroid: Zero Mission, a remake of the original Metroid for Game Boy Advance. Following the "normal finale" after Samus defeats Mother Brain and she escapes the destructing base on Planet Zebes, a cutscene shows her immediately shedding off her suit in order to fly her original Gunship, but space pirate ships shoot her down back onto Zebes. Now stranded without her power suit, Samus must infiltrate a nearby Space Pirate compound and sneak and stealth her way into an area where an ancient Chozo test will allow the Power Suit to rematerialize onto her.

Zero Suit Samus is a newcomer in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Her playstyle has been described by many as being similar to Sheik, in that she possesses many quick and acrobatic moves and transforms from another character. Equipped with a paralyzing laser gun that has the ability to transform into a plasma whip, Zero Suit Samus retains the Tether Recovery capabilities that Samus has.

Trophy Info

Samus Aran without her mighty Power Suit. In this condition, she does not have the firepower she's famed for but is in full possession of the agility and athleticism she gained through her childhood training with the Chozo. Without the armor, she's also much, much faster. The weapon she carries is a self-protection device known as a Paralyzer that stops enemies cold.
