Template:Infobox Final Smash SSB4 Gunship (スターシップ, Starship) is Zero Suit Samus's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. 4. When activated, Zero Suit Samus jumps into her Gunship and proceeds to fire several energy beam shots at her opponents, which are aimed beforehand by moving a cursor around onscreen. The move is overall very similar to Snake's Grenade Launcher. It replaces Power Suit Samus from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, since Samus and Zero Suit Samus are now separate characters.

Description from the 3DS version's foldout

"Jump into your Gunship and shoot lasers at your opponents."

Origin

Samus's Gunship has been a staple of Metroid games since Metroid II: Return of Samus but in most games it acted as a glorified save/ammo restore point. In Metroid Prime 3: Corruption it became a bigger gameplay element not only with Samus using it to travel between multiple planets but it could be remotely controlled to use missles to air strike enemies and structures. The Final Smash is partially based off of this but with two major differences: Samus is in the ship herself and it uses dual lasers instead of missiles.
