 ==Origin==
-The move is unique to ''Smash Bros.'' Originally, Samus's Power Suit is somehow lost in a crash when her starship is shot down in ''Metroid: Zero Mission'', not involving any type of beam on her part.
+The Zero Laser move is unique to ''Smash Bros.'', although certain games have had Samus use similarly powerful laser beams as attacks in certain situations:
-The move seems to have been inspired by the [http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Hypermode Hypermode] state, a state Samus could access while in a pile of Phazon. In both ''Metroid Prime'' and ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'', this move was used as an attack method to defeat Metroid Prime and [[Dark Samus]]; it is strikingly similar to the Zero Laser, although, this beam actually consists of two beams intertwined and rapidly fires streams of Phazon beams instead of one massive beam. Rival bounty hunter Gandrayda can use a move nearly identical to the Zero Laser when mimicking Samus's form in ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'', though due to the game's release date, this is likely a coincidence or a possible reference to ''Brawl'' instead.
+* In the climax of ''[[Super Metroid]]'', the {{s|metroidwiki|Metroid Hatchling}} gives Samus the ability to use the devastating {{s|metroidwiki|Hyper Beam}} to defeat [[Mother Brain]].
+* In ''Metroid Prime'' and ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'', when Samus enters the {{s|metroidwiki|Hypermode}} state via exposure to Phazon, she gains access to a powerful beam called "Phazon Beam"/"Hyper Beam". Unlike the Zero Laser, this attack consists of two intertwined, rapid-fire streams of Phazon rather than a single massive laser beam. As with ''Super Metroid''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> Hyper Beam, the ''Metroid Prime'' Phazon Beam is accessed temporarily during the final boss fight with [[Dark Samus|the Metroid Prime]] by standing in pools of Phazon. Additionally, rival bounty hunter {{s|metroidwiki|Gandrayda}} can use a move nearly identical to the Zero Laser when mimicking Samus's form in ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'', though due to the game's release date, this is likely a coincidence or a possible reference to ''Brawl'' instead.
-The Zero Laser may also have been inspired by the Hyper Beam, an extremely powerful attack used against Mother Brain at the end of ''Super Metroid'', though their appearances differ, as well as the Hyper Beam having no known detrimental effects.
+The ''Brawl'' functionality of the beam causing Samus's Power Suit to be lost is original to ''Brawl''. While Samus does lose her Power Suit temporarily in ''Metroid: Zero Mission'', it is lost in a crash when her starship is shot down, not in any way that involves any type of beam on her part.
-Aesthetically, Zero Suit Samus's version of Zero Laser references all previous Final Smashes used by both herself and the suited Samus; it is a variation of Samus's own Final Smash, it has Zero Suit Samus temporarily transform into Samus (similar to [[Power Suit Samus]]), and it utilizes Samus's [[Gunship]] (similar to [[Gunship (Final Smash)|the Final Smash of the same name]]).
+In ''Ultimate'', Zero Suit Samus's version of Zero Laser references all previous Final Smashes used by both herself and the suited Samus; it is a variation of Samus's own Final Smash, it has Zero Suit Samus temporarily transform into Samus (similar to [[Power Suit Samus]]), and it utilizes Samus's [[Gunship]] (similar to [[Gunship (Final Smash)|the Final Smash of the same name]]).
