Gunship (Final Smash)

Gunship (, Starship) is 's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. 4. It replaces Power Suit Samus from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, since and Zero Suit Samus are no longer transforming characters.

Overview
When activated, Zero Suit Samus jumps into her Gunship and proceeds to fire several energy beam shots at her opponents, which are aimed beforehand by moving a cursor around onscreen. The move is overall very similar to 's Grenade Launcher. After Zero Suit Samus fires 5 blasts or a few seconds have passed, the Final Smash will end.

Origin


Samus's Gunship has been a staple of Metroid games since Metroid II: Return of Samus, but in most games, it acted as a glorified save/ammo restore point. In Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, it became a bigger gameplay element: not only did Samus use it to travel between multiple planets, but it could be remotely controlled to use missiles to air strike enemies and structures. The Final Smash is partially based off of this, but with two major differences: Samus is in the ship herself and it uses dual lasers instead of missiles. The Gunship's design, like most Metroid content in SSB4, is based upon its appearance in Metroid: Other M.

Trivia
