While Samus has been shown without her Power Suit 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. The original ''Metroid'' allowed Samus to be playable in a leotard using the well-known "JUSTIN BAILEY" cheat code; ''Zero Mission'' expanded on this by incorporating a playable, suitless Samus into the game's narrative for the first time, granting her a unique style of stealth-based gameplay. The Zero Suit covers Samus completely from neck-to-toe in a sky blue, form-fitting body suit with magenta | While Samus has been shown without her Power Suit 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.

The Zero Suit covers Samus completely from neck-to-toe in a sky blue, form-fitting body suit with magenta {{s|metroidwiki|Chozo}} sigils on her back, left breast, and hands. While wearing it, Samus' hair is tied back in a high ponytail with a red scrunchie. | ||
Within ''Metroid'' canon, Samus boasts superhuman athleticism even without her Power Suit, thanks to the Chozo infusing their DNA within her and training her in combat during her childhood. While she is also much more adaptive to alien environments than a normal human thanks to her Chozo DNA, she is still extremely vulnerable without her Power Suit, and thus and must rely on stealth and her {{s|metroidwiki|Paralyzer}} instead of direct combat to achieve her objectives. However, much like her fellow bounty hunter [[Captain Falcon]], Zero Suit Samus is depicted in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series with a varied and highly physical martial arts fighting style that compliments her superhuman athleticism. Additionally, her Paralyzer comes complete with ''Super Smash Bros.''-specific design elements that grant it offensive potential. | Within ''Metroid'' canon, Samus boasts superhuman athleticism even without her Power Suit, thanks to the Chozo infusing their DNA within her and training her in combat during her childhood.
