The Zero Suit covers Samus completely from neck to toe in a blue form-fitting body suit with pink [[metroidwiki:Chozo|Chozo]] markings on her back, left breast, and hands. While wearing it, Samus' long blonde hair is tied back in a ponytail with a red tie. Although quicker and more agile without her suit, she is also less armed, her only weapon being her Paralyzer. In ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', the Paralyzer can also turn into a Plasma Whip, giving it some offensive capability. | While Samus has been shown without armor since the original ''Metroid'', usually as part of an ending sequence, the Zero Suit first appeared in ''Metroid: Zero Mission'', a remake of the original ''Metroid'' for Game Boy Advance.

In ''Zero Mission'', following Samus' defeat of [[Mother Brain]], Samus escapes the base on Planet Zebes and sheds her Power Suit prior to piloting her Gunship. However, Space Pirate ships shoot her down back onto Zebes' surface, leaving her without her Power Suit. She then infiltrates the nearby Space Pirate compound while in her body suit and armed with only her [[Paralyzer|emergency pistol]], and soon escapes the planet via a Space Pirate ship. | |||
Samus in the Zero Suit appears very briefly during ending sequences for ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'' and ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption''. In ''Corruption'', Samus is shown briefly in her Zero Suit during the opening scene before she activates the Varia Suit inside her ship. In both of these instances she deactivates her Varia Suit before or while entering her ship. She is also wears the Zero Suit in the ending of ''Metroid Prime Hunters''; this suit is glossier with a more subdued color and less markings, and also features a green glowing segment at the base of the neck, but the suit does not cover her hands. | Samus in the Zero Suit appears very briefly during ending sequences for ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'' and ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption''.

Samus also appears in her Zero Suit in many scenes in ''Metroid: Other M''. In the beginning of the game, she activates her Power Suit by pressing the Chozo sigil on her breast. Her Power Suit is shown to deactivate when she is under emotional or mental distress, such as before the fight against Ridley in the [[Pyrosphere]], or after dying. For the second time in the series, she is playable in her Zero Suit during the timed escape sequence at the end of the game, where she must escape a ship undergoing a self-destruct sequence, once again while equipped with the Paralyzer. Samus' appearance in the Zero Suit has changed drastically from previous games. She now has a beauty mark, is shorter in height, sports a smaller and thinner ponytail, and has green eyes rather than the blue eyes she had previously. She wears a new Zero Suit that features a shinier and more aesthetically segmented design, complete with wedged heels. She also wears a holster around her thigh for holding her Paralyzer. In flashback sequences, she is shown wearing her original Zero Suit, albeit with a harness around it. | Samus also appears in her Zero Suit in many scenes in ''Metroid: Other M''.

Aside from the Zero Suit itself, Samus has been shown in other types of clothing when outside of her Power Suit, typically revealing sportswear. Two such outfits (taken from ''Metroid Fusion'' and ''Zero Mission'') appear as alternate costumes for Zero Suit Samus in ''SSB4''. | |||
