The Zero Suit covers Samus completely from neck-to-toe in a cyan, skin-tight bodysuit with magenta {{s|metroidwiki|Chozo}} sigils on her back, left breast, and the back of her hands. While wearing it, Samus wears her hair in a ponytail with a red hair tie. Although Samus' eye and hair color varied widely across early games, most current depictions consistently give her blonde hair and blue eyes. Despite this, Samus' "Zero Suit" design has varied in nearly every appearance, with ''Metroid: Other M'' giving her the most drastic redesign by changing her eye color, facial structure, general hairstyle and physique. | The Zero Suit covers Samus completely from neck-to-toe in a cyan, skin-tight bodysuit with magenta {{s|metroidwiki|Chozo}} sigils on her back, left breast, and the back of her hands.

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. | 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.

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. In addition, her Paralyzer is equipped with ''Super Smash Bros.''-specific design elements that grant it offensive potential. | ||

In ''Zero Mission'', following Samus' defeat of {{s|metroidwiki|Mother Brain}}, Samus escapes the {{s|metroidwiki|Space Pirate}}s' base on {{s|metroidwiki|Zebes}} and deactivates her Power Suit prior to piloting [[metroidwiki:Samus Aran's Gunship|her Gunship]]. However, Space Pirate ships shoot her down back onto Zebes' surface, destroying her Gunship and leaving her unable to activate her Power Suit. With the Zero Suit and her Paralyzer as her only methods of self-defense, Samus infiltrates the nearby {{s|metroidwiki|Space Pirate Mother Ship}} in order to steal one of the Space Pirates' ships and escape Zebes. After stealthily navigating through the Mother Ship and stumbling upon the ruins of {{s|metroidwiki|Chozodia}}, an ancient Chozo city, Samus undergoes a [[metroidwiki:Ruins Test|test left behind by the Chozo]]. Upon successfully completing the test, she is granted [[metroidwiki:Legendary Power Suit|an advanced Power Suit]] that not only fully restores her previously lost abilities, but also grants her access to [[metroidwiki:Unknown Item|three upgrades that were incompatible with her previous Power Suit]]. Samus, now fully reequipped and upgraded, proceeds to escape Zebes via a Space Pirate ship after destroying {{s|metroidwiki|Mecha Ridley}} and the Mother Ship. | In ''Zero Mission'', following Samus' defeat of {{s|metroidwiki|Mother Brain}}, Samus escapes the {{s|metroidwiki|Space Pirate}}s' base on {{s|metroidwiki|Zebes}} and deactivates her Power Suit prior to piloting [[metroidwiki:Samus Aran's Gunship|her Gunship]].

Samus appears in her Zero Suit very briefly during ending sequences for ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}'' and ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid Prime 3: Corruption}}''. In ''Corruption'', Samus is shown briefly in her Zero Suit during the opening scene before she activates the Varia Suit while inside her ship. In both of these instances she deactivates her Varia Suit before or while entering her ship. She also wears the Zero Suit in the ending of ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid Prime Hunters}}''. While the Zero Suit's design remains almost totally unchanged in ''Echoes'' and ''Corruption'', it features noticeable changes in ''Hunters''. These changes include the entire suit consisting of a darker shade of blue, a glossier texture, no Chozo sigils or aesthetic segments, a green hyphen-shaped accent at the base of the neck, and Samus' hands being exposed. | Samus appears in her Zero Suit very briefly during ending sequences for ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}'' and ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid Prime 3: Corruption}}''.

Samus also appears in her Zero Suit in a number of scenes in ''Other M''. In the beginning of the game, she activates her Power Suit by pressing the Chozo sigil on her breast. ''Other M'' is the second time in the series where she is playable in her Zero Suit, but like in ''Zero Mission'', this only occurs near the end of the game. In ''Other M''{{'}}s case, Zero Suit Samus becomes playable during the {{s|metroidwiki|Bottle Ship}}'s self-destruct sequence, and she once again has the Paralyzer as her only method of self-defense. | Samus also appears in her Zero Suit in a number of scenes in ''Other M''.

''Other M'' demonstrates that unlike the Zero Suit, the Power Suit will deactivate when Samus is unable to maintain a proper level of concentration, such as when she suffered a post-traumatic stress-induced panic attack upon encountering {{s|metroidwiki|Ridley}} in the [[metroidwiki:Sector 3 (Pyrosphere)|Pyrosphere]], or after she dies. | ||
Aside from the Zero Suit itself, Samus has been shown in other types of clothing when outside of her Power Suit, with the most typical attires being revealing sportswear. Two such attires, which are seen in certain endings for ''Zero Mission'' and ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid Fusion}}'', appear as [[alternate costume]]s for Zero Suit Samus in ''SSB4''. | Aside from the Zero Suit itself, Samus has been shown in other types of clothing when outside of her Power Suit, with the most typical attires being revealing sportswear.
