Power Suit Piece

Zelda throwing a Power Suit Piece.

Power Suit Pieces are the pieces of Samus' armor that fall after she performs her Final Smash. After Samus performs her Final Smash, the Zero Laser, her suit is depleted and falls off of her in three pieces. Any player can then pick up and throw the pieces of her Power Suit. Each piece, when thrown, has much knockback and does 12% damage (depending on strength of throw).

One can hold the shield button to start a match as Zero Suit Samus. When one does this, Samus' On-Screen Appearance is replaced with her suit dismantle animation, which will also produce Power Suit Pieces. Pressing "up, down, up" very rapidly on the D-Pad (while playing as normal Samus) also drops these projectiles.

The Power Suit Pieces are considered to be useful projectiles in competitive play, and players will usually try to keep one on the screen for repeated use. The pieces can be thrown rather far, which is further supported by Zero Suit Samus's quick glide toss, that also covers a moderately large distance. The pieces also have decent knockback (very high for a projectile - they even have some KO power against offstage opponents). Glide tossing a piece while throwing it up is considered a solid approach option that covers Zero Suit Samus while she can short hop and space with a forward or back aerial. However, there are ways to deal with the pieces, such as Falco's Reflector. Characters with quick air dodges such as Meta Knight can also grab them relatively easily if they see it coming, and if the opponent has access to a glide toss that covers large distance (most notably Meta Knight, Sonic, and Pit), they can use it to their advantage as well.

Trivia

• When fighting against Samus in Classic Mode, if she uses her Final Smash, it will generate giant Power Suit Pieces. They return to the normal size after player picks it up.
• The three power suit pieces all come from her right arm (the shoulder part, the forearm, and the arm cannon).
