'''Mother Brain''' ({{ja|マザーブレイン|Mazā Burein}}, ''Mother Brain'') is a major antagonist from the {{uv|Metroid}} series. She appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as an [[Assist Trophy]].

Mother Brain appears in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' as an Assist Trophy. She uses her signature Laser Brain Attack when summoned, and is guarded by {{s|metroidwiki|Rinka}} enemies. She can be killed by hitting her from behind after the Control Capsule's glass shatters following the laser blast.

Mother Brain stands as potentially one of the most damaging Assist Trophies in the game, as her Laser Brain Attack can do up to 90% damage if all hits connect, and will guarantee a [[shield break]] if an enemy decides to [[shield]] it. Despite such, it only does moderate knockback.

|desc-ntsc=Hailing from the Metroid series, this evil boss resides on the planet Zebes. When she appears in Smash Bros., she attacks with energy projectiles and a beam from her eye. It's actually possible to defeat her, and for once doing so won't start a self-destruct sequence.

|desc-pal=A mainstay of the Metroid series and the final boss Samus faces on Planet Zebes. In this game, she grows to a gargantuan size and fires all sorts of energy blasts at you. Good news: you can beat her! Better news: doing so won't trigger a self-destruct sequence forcing you to make your escape!

|desc-ntsc=When Samus first encountered her on the Bottle Ship, she introduced herself as Madeline. Only later did Samus discover that she was actually an android named Melissa, also called MB. As Melissa's hatred for humans grew and became more apparent, the human scientists attempted (and failed) to reprogram her.

Mother Brain returns as an Assist Trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', seemingly without any change in function. However, KOing her will now earn a point. [[Training Mode]] describes her Assist Trophy: ''Shoots a powerful beam from her eye. Rinkas help her out.'' She cannot appear in Luigi's Mansion, Pac-Land, Rainbow Cruise, Spirit Train, The Great Cave Offensive, Tomodachi Life, Tortimer Island, and Umbra Clock Tower.

===Spirit===

 

In [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]], Mother Brain is presumably one of the countless spirits captured by [[Galeem]] during his takeover of the universe. After Galeem's defeat, [[Dharkon]] takes control of Galeem's spirits, including Mother Brain. After Dharkon's defeat, he flees to the final world, with Galeem following soon after. In the final world, Galeem and Dharkon wage war against each other using their captured spirits, with Dharkon taking control of Mother Brain.

Mother Brain's Spirit Board uses a {{SSBU|Dark Samus}} puppet fighter and is fought on the [[Brinstar Depths]] stage's [[Ω form]]. During the battle, Mother Brain appears as a hostile Assist Trophy while Dark Samus' energy attacks have increased power, referencing Mother Brain's Laser Brain attack, which she uses in her second form.
