Screw Attack


 * For the attack Samus does, see Screw Attack (move)

Screw Attacks are items in the Metroid series. They are also used as weak items in the game, Super Smash Bros. Melee. If a player were to press A near a Screw Attack, he/she would pick it up. If the player were to jump with one in his/her hand, the jump would be very similar to Samus's third jump. Also, if there was another player around the player who jumped with a Screw Attack, that player would take minor damage. These items can also be thrown into another player for minor damage. Also, when thrown, anyone it hits will automatically perform a Screw Attack. Although this hurts them, if they are close to the player when hit, they will hurt him/her.

Trophy Information
''One of Samus Aran's power-ups from the original Metroid, the Screw Attack turns a jump into a rotating attack move. When carrying this item, any character's ordinary jump move will turn into a Screw Attack. By the same token, if you throw this item at an enemy, your foe will spontaneously do a Screw Attack.''
