The '''Screw Attack''' (スクリューアタック, ''Sukuryu Atakku'') item alters a character's first and second jumps, changing them to mimic [[Samus Aran]]'s [[Up Special Move]] (for which the item is named). If thrown at an enemy, they will be knocked upwards in a [[Screw Attack (move)|Screw Attack]], dragging any nearby opponents (even the thrower) into the attack. They then fall down as if they had used a recovery move. Many players use this in a sort of Pseudo-combo with a constantly damaging Up-B attack, most notably Samus' Up- B of the same name.
In the [[Metroid (series)|Metroid series]] the '''Screw Attack''' was an upgrade [[Samus]] could add to her power suit that allowed her to have another jump, another attack and in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, an extremely long glide. It debuted as an [[Items|item]] in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]. When holding it, the character's jumps were replaced with screw attacks. The player can also throw the item at others and if it touches them they do a screw attack and receive damage. In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], the Screw attack will stick to the character and the character will be able to use other items while under it's effect.

In Smash Bros Brawl, the Screw Attack is a badge item, similar to the [[Franklin Badge]], allowing the user to attack as normal, having their ground and midair jump being screw attacks as originally (Only the first midair jump if a character has more than one).  The badge can be worn at the same time as the Franklin Badge, and will eventually fall off.  The item cannot be thrown like in ''Melee''.
 
===Trophy Info===
''A badge you can wear to turn your jumps into Samus's signature Screw Attacks. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, it was an item you carried, but this time around it's a badge you wear--which means you can use it and another item at the same time. There's a good chance you'll be able to string together Screw Attacks and midair strikes for powerful combos.''

In the Metroid series the Screw Attack was an upgrade Samus could add to her power suit that allowed her to have another jump, another attack and in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, an extremely long glide. It debuted as an item in Super Smash Bros. Melee. When holding it, the character's jumps were replaced with screw attacks. The player can also throw the item at others and if it touches them they do a screw attack and receive damage. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Screw attack will stick to the character and the character will be able to use other items while under it's effect.
