Mother Brain is a recurring antagonist of the ''Metroid'' series, and a major leader of the Space Pirates. She appears in ''Metroid'' (and its remake ''Zero Mission''), ''Super Metroid'', and in a flashback sequence in ''Metroid: Other M''.


In ''Metroid'', Samus had to fire missiles in the opening of Mother Brain's Control Capsule while avoiding enemy Rinkas. In ''Super Metroid'', the first half of the battle is similar to the battle in ''Metroid'', except Samus now has to break the Control Capsule before damaging Mother Brain. After Mother Brain is seemingly defeated in ''Super Metroid'', she transforms into her bipedal form with a mechanized body, and she also opens her eye. Towards the end of the battle, she will fire Laser Brain Attacks from her eye that almost kill Samus before being saved by a Metroid. In the ''Metroid'' remake, ''Metroid: Zero Mission'', the battle is identical to how it was in ''Metroid'', except Samus had to break the Control Capsule before damaging Mother Brain, and after it is broken, she opens her eye and fires blasts from it.
In ''Metroid'', Samus had to fire missiles to create an opening in Mother Brain's Control Capsule, then continue to fire missiles through that opening to damage Mother Brain while avoiding enemy Rinkas. In ''Super Metroid'', the first half of the battle is similar to the battle in ''Metroid''. After Mother Brain is seemingly defeated in ''Super Metroid'', she transforms into her bipedal form with a mechanized body, and she also opens her eye. Towards the end of the battle, she will fire Laser Brain Attacks from her eye that almost kill Samus before being saved by a Metroid. In the ''Metroid'' remake, ''Metroid: Zero Mission'', the battle is identical to how it was in ''Metroid'', except after the Control Capsule is broken, she opens her eye and fires blasts from it. Although Mother Brain herself is absent in ''Metroid Dread'', brain mechanisms similar to Mother Brain appear in the game along with enemy Rinkas.

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

Mother Brain also appears as a [[spirit]], using her artwork from ''Zero Mission''. She can be acquired in {{b|The Final Battle|World of Light}} as one of [[Dharkon]]'s spirits, or randomly encountered via the [[Spirit Board]]. After reaching level 99, she can be enhanced to Mother Brain (2nd Form), based upon her final form from ''Super Metroid''.
Mother Brain also appears as two different [[primary spirit]]s. Mother Brain (2nd Form) can be obtained by [[Enhanceable spirit|enhancing]] the Mother Brain spirit at level 99.
 
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.

==Trivia==
*The Mother Brain Assist Trophy can be turned around using [[Reverse]] attacks. Doing so will not change what side the laser is fired from, and thus it will be fired from Mother Brain's back rather than its eye.
