'''Zero Suit Samus''' is an alternate form of [[Samus Aran|Samus]] without her [[metroidwiki:Power Suit|Power Suit]], wearing a skintight jumpsuit. In this form, Samus' main weapon is the [[Paralyzer]], a small pistol-like weapon that is only capable of stunning enemies. Although Samus has appeared without her armor in previous ''Metroid'' games in a small capacity, the first appearance of Samus in her "Zero Suit" was in ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid: Zero Mission|Metroid: Zero Mission]]'', which consolidated Samus' appearance and abilities outside the Power Suit. While Zero Suit Samus is a very vulnerable and more stealth-based form in her home series, the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series enhances her abilities by giving her an extensive, speedy hand-to-hand moveset similar to [[Sheik]], as well as additional weaponry in the form of a "Plasma Whip" mode for her Paralyzer and, in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', rocket-powered "Jet Boots" that resemble high-heeled stilettos.
 
==History==
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
[[File:Zero Suit Samus.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Samus, after using the Zero Laser.]]
[[File:Zero Suit Samus SSBB.png|frame]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Zero Suit Samus (SSBB)}}
When Samus finishes her Final Smash, the [[Zero Laser]], the force of the beam is so strong it causes the [[Power Suit]] to fall off, allowing Zero Suit Samus to be playable. Zero Suit Samus is more swift and agile than her armored form, though lighter and easier to KO. In this state Samus fights using a gun that can stun opponents and also turn into an energy whip. Zero Suit Samus's neutral special move is the [[Paralyzer]], in which she fires a blast from the gun that can stun opponents. Her side special is [[Plasma Whip]], in which she fires a whip to the side that deals more damage at the tip. Her up special is [[Plasma Wire]], in which she fires the whip directly up. Finally, her down special is [[Flip Jump]], in which she does a jump that can be followed up with a kick. Similar to Samus, Zero Suit Samus's grab also uses the Paralyzer's whip, which gives her an extended grab; this and her up and side specials can all be used as tether recoveries.
 
At the character selection screen, when players select Samus, they can start the battle as Zero Suit Samus by holding the following buttons when proceeding to the stage selection screen.
 
*With the Wii Remote: {{button|wii|-}}
*With the Wii Remote and Nunchuk: {{button|wii|Z}}
*With the Classic Controller: {{button|wii|L}} or {{button|wii|R}}
*With the [[Nintendo GameCube]] Controller: {{button|gcn|L}} or {{button|gcn|R}}
 
Players can also turn into Zero Suit Samus from normal Samus mid-battle by executing her up, down, and up taunts in rapid succession.

=====The Subspace Emissary=====
[[File:SubspaceIntro-ZeroSuitSamus.png|200px|thumb|right|'''Zero Suit Samus'''{{'}}s snapshot in The Subspace Emissary.]]
Samus first appears in the Subspace Emissary in her Zero Suit, infiltrating [[the Research Facility]] to retrieve her stolen Power Suit. Along the way, she finds [[Pikachu]] trapped in a power generator and frees it. Eventually, Samus tracks her Power Suit down, but was stopped by evil copies of it. She defeats them and retrieves her suit. She, along with Pikachu, spends most of the Subspace Emmisary in either the [[The Research Facility]] or [[The Subspace Bomb Factory]]. When Samus is selected on the World Map, she can still be turned into Zero Suit Samus by pressing the grab button.

====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''====
[[File:ZeroSuitSamusSSB4.png|thumb|left|150px|Zero Suit Samus's artwork from ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Zero Suit Samus (SSB4)}}
Zero Suit Samus reappears for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' as an independent character, after the removal of in-battle transformation moves. Her overall appearance has been somewhat altered, still using her general design from ''Metroid: Zero Mission'' while also taking elements from her appearance in ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid: Other M|Metroid: Other M]]''. As a result of being a separate character, she has a different Final Smash, [[Gunship]], in which she jumps into the gunship. For her general moveset, she adopts different footwear, her boots now featuring a pair of jet boosters on the heels, which enables her kicking moves to be more powerful and have an electricity effect. These jet boots have also replaced her up special move, Plasma Wire, with [[Boost Kick]], which uses the jet heels to boost herself into the air while kicking.
 
Zero Suit Samus also has two additional alternate costumes, based upon her appearances during the endings for ''Metroid: Zero Mission'' and ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid Fusion|Metroid Fusion]]''.
{{br}}
 
===''WarioWare'' series===
Zero Suit Samus only appears in the [[Metroid (Big Name Game)|Metroid]] Big Name Game in ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]''. There is a small chance that Samus will appear in her Zero Suit after the player defeats the Metroids on-screen, rather than her in her Power Suit.
 
Samus can also appear without her armor at random in the [[Metroid (WarioWare: Touched!)|Metroid]] microgame in the earlier ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', though she uses her sprite from the original ''Metroid'' rather wearing than the Zero Suit.
 
===''Super Mario Maker''===
Zero Suit Samus appears as a [[Costume Mario]] costume in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. Her sound effects are taken from ''Metroid: Zero Mission''; the theme that plays when the game is loaded plays when the [[Mystery Mushroom]] is collected, the theme that plays when an item is obtained plays when the level is completed, and the death sound is played when the player loses a life with the costume on.

*'''Online:''' ''"When Samus destroys her Power Suit, she’s left with the Zero Suit. What she’s lost in power and weaponry, she makes up for in speed!''<br>
:''Once she turns that Paralyzer in her hand into a whip, she has quite a long reach as well! Not exactly the straightforward fight you thought it was, huh?"''
*'''Instruction booklet:''' ''"Samus in her unarmored form. Her physical abilities far outclass standard humans."''

====[[Solid Snake]]'s codec conversation====
*'''[[Solid Snake|Snake]]''': [[Radio conversation characters#Mei Ling|Mei Ling]], Samus took her clothes off!
*'''Mei Ling''': That's just her in the Zero Suit, Snake.
*'''Snake''': Without that bulky Power Suit, she's gotten a lot more agile... You know, I bet if I took off all this heavy gear, I could catch her.
*'''Mei Ling''': Um, yeah, you wish. Even without the Power Suit, all that training she did with the Chozo has made her a super athlete. I don't think a normal human could ever keep up. Just look at her.
*'''Snake''': ...Her loss.

'''PAL:''' ''Without her Power Suit, Samus Aran may not have her usual strength, specials moves or over-powered arm cannon, but her Jet Boots definitely kick things up a notch in their own way.

====Palutena's Guidance====
*'''[[Pit]]''': Who's that woman?
*'''[[Palutena]]''': That's Zero Suit Samus. She usually wears heavy armor, but not in this incarnation. Even so, she's still pretty powerful.
*'''Pit''': She has some pretty hurty-looking equipment. Getting kicked by those Jet Boots has gotta sting!
*'''Palutena''': You have a good deal of "hurty-looking equipment" yourself, Pit.
*'''Pit''': Yeah, and can you believe that there are some fighters that battle empty handed? Crazy!
*'''Palutena''': It's all about discipline, not weaponry. Don't worry, though. When we get home, I'll enroll you in Palutena's Boot Camp. That'll fix you right up.
*'''Pit''': Or I can just keep my weapons. Yeah, let's do that.
*'''Palutena''': Anyway, Zero Suit Samus is a difficult target to hit. Keep your attack sure and ready.
