In Super Smash Bros. Brawl Dark Samus appears as a trophy and as a sticker. 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 the actual Dark Samus. It teams up with Dark Link against the two players that plays as their light counterparts, Link as player one and Samus as player two. Trophy information Dark Samus 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 Samus' Phazon Suit and her origin actually is known, as she is the Metroid Prime reborn as a Phazon-based human/Metroid hybrid following the creature's absorption of Samus' DNA and Phazon Suit at the end of the game. Sticker Name Game Effect Character(s) Dark Samus Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Resistance +11 Dark Samus (Metroid Prime 2: Echoes) In Super Smash Bros. 4 As an Assist Trophy Dark Samus using Phazon tentacles as an attack. Dark Samus appears in her design from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Some of her attack animations are similar to Samus's, such as her down tilt and up smash. She hops around with long jumps, attacking with three different moves: Her first attack involves firing a volley from her arm cannon straight forward, dealing multiple low damage hits and knocking opponents away on the final hit. The volley deals 21% total, with low knockback. Her second attack sees her firing four homing laser spheres into the air. Each sphere deals 6% and moderately low knockback. The third attack only occurs if she is near an opponent, where she summons Phazon tentacles from the ground which deal 12% and decent knockback. Before leaving, she poses with her Arm Cannon in front of her face. Like several other Assist Trophies, she can be defeated if she takes enough hits, where she will leave by fading out in a bright blue flash. Other appearances Samus's Dark Samus color scheme (far left). Dark Samus's color scheme is also the basis of one of Samus's alternate colors. In an event match, this color scheme is used to simulate Samus battling Dark Samus. Similarly, the color scheme appears in a co-op event match that features several playable antagonists as opponents.
