The '''Screw Attack''' ({{ja|スクリューアタック|Sukuryū Atakku}}, ''Screw Attack'') is an [[item]] that first appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. When held, the item alters a character's first and second [[jump]]s (leaving any further jumps they may have unchanged), changing them to mimic [[Samus]]' [[up special move]], also named the {{b|Screw Attack|move}}. | The '''Screw Attack''' ({{ja|スクリューアタック|Sukuryū Atakku}}, ''Screw Attack'') is an [[item]] that first appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

==Origin== | |||
[[File:ScrewAttackNES.gif|thumb|left|150px|The Screw Attack as it originally appeared in ''Metroid''.]] | |||
The Screw Attack made its first appearance in ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]''. In ''Metroid'', the Screw Attack was an item that allowed Samus to attack while somersaulting. The Screw Attack also appeared in ''[[Super Metroid]]'' and it gave Samus the same ability. In ''Smash'', the Screw Attack allows a player to do an attack while somersaulting similar to Samus' up special (which is also an attack based on the Screw Attack). The player can also double jump while holding the Screw Attack. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAPlZc7umzM] | |||
In Smash, the Screw Attack resembles the one from the 2D ''Metroid'' games, but with the colors changed. | |||

In ''Melee'', it can be [[item throw|throw]]n at an enemy, which forces them to perform the attack. Unlike when using it normally, however, this leaves the victim [[helpless]] in the process. When thrown, Screw Attacks can steal [[KO]]s, since the distance the character rises after getting hit by it depends on how fast the character is getting launched. If characters are launched from a high percentage and get hit by a Screw Attack, they fly up very quickly while performing the Screw Attack and often cross the [[blast line]] for a [[Star KO]]. | In ''Melee'', it can be [[item throw|throw]]n at an enemy, which forces them to perform the attack.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Screw Attack is instead a badge item, similar to the [[Franklin Badge]]. As a result, it cannot be thrown as in ''Melee'', but allows the user to attack as normal while it is being held; it will eventually fall off, however. A very large portion of the attack from ''Brawl'' onwards is [[interruptibility|interruptible]], allowing it to be cancelled into any of the character's attacks. In ''Smash 4'', the Screw Attack has a quirk of removing the character's ability to [[short hop]] while it is equipped. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros.
