In ''Ultimate'', Zero Suit Samus adopts Zero Laser as her new Final Smash by temporarily transforming into suited {{SSBU|Samus}}. The warrior rises into the air, then appears in the background atop her Gunship, wearing her Power Suit. A player-controlled crosshair then appears, and when the attack button is pressed, the now-suited Samus begins firing her Zero Laser with an area roughly equal to that of the crosshair. Like the Zero Laser used by the "regular" Samus, it hits multiple times and builds up [[damage]]. At the end of the move, there is a brief pause, then one final burst is fired with enough power to [[knockback|launch]] opponents. Once the move concludes, Samus reverts to her Zero Suit; unlike with [[Power Suit Samus]] in ''Brawl'', she does not retain her Power Suit for gameplay after use. | In ''Ultimate'', Zero Suit Samus adopts Zero Laser as her new Final Smash by temporarily transforming into suited {{SSBU|Samus}}.

The move is unique to ''Smash Bros.'' Originally, Samus's Power Suit is somehow lost in a crash when her starship is shot down in ''Metroid: Zero Mission'', not involving any type of beam on her part. | |||
The move seems to have been inspired by the [http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Hypermode Hypermode] state, a state Samus could access while in a pile of Phazon. In both ''Metroid Prime'' and ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'', this move was used as an attack method to defeat Metroid Prime and [[Dark Samus]]; it is strikingly similar to the Zero Laser, although, this beam actually consists of two beams intertwined and rapidly fires streams of Phazon beams instead of one massive beam. Rival bounty hunter Gandrayda can use a move nearly identical to the Zero Laser when mimicking Samus's form in ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'', though due to the game's release date, this is likely a coincidence or a possible reference to ''Brawl'' instead. | |||
The Zero Laser may also have been inspired by the Hyper Beam, an extremely powerful attack used against Mother Brain at the end of ''Super Metroid'', though their appearances differ, as well as the Hyper Beam having no known detrimental effects. | |||
Aesthetically, Zero Suit Samus's version of Zero Laser references all previous Final Smashes used by both herself and the suited Samus; it is a variation of Samus's own Final Smash, it has Zero Suit Samus temporarily transform into Samus (similar to [[Power Suit Samus]]), and it utilizes Samus's [[Gunship]] (similar to [[Gunship (Final Smash)|the Final Smash of the same name]]). | |||
