'''Samus Aran''' is an intergalactic bounty hunter who occasionally visits [[Mushroom World]]. She was an orphan girl, who was adopted by the ancient Chozo race. She had some Chozo blood put into her, and was given a Power Suit. She then decided to fight the Space Pirates, and their leader Mother Brain. The series was actually started by [[Shigeru Miyamoto|Shigeru Miyamoto's]] mentor, [[Gunpei Yokoi]].
 
In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Samus travelled to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] to stay at the guest room of the [[Princess Peach's Castle|royal castle]]. Apparently, Samus needed a place to rest before battling the evil [[Mother Brain]].
 
Samus has also been in all of the ''[[WarioWare]]'' games. In these games, she appeared in a couple of Microgames. They were a few levels from the original ''Metroid'' game.

In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Samus is a heavy, slow character, but has many powerful attacks. Her strongest is her Charge Shot, but only when charged enough. In Melee, she added a [[Missile]] attack, which is a guided missile attack. She is also one of the few characters who have an attack that does the same as another item, in Samus's case, her Screw Attack does the same as the item, also called Screw Attack
 
She has a special grabbing technique, her Grappling Beam, which allows her to grab characters standing further away. She is also one of the few characters who can wall jump.
 
In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', when using her [[Final Smash]], she loses her Power Suit, and becomes [[Zero Suit Samus]].
 
== Profile Information from ''Super Smash Bros.'' ==
''Samus Aran is the toughest bounty hunter in the galaxy. Using a special suit powered by the technology of the bird people which allows her to execute daring acrobatic feats, Samus pursues the airborne life form, Metroid, throughout the universe.''
 
== Trophy Information from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' ==
=== Classic ===
[[Image:Trophy10.PNG|frame|left|]]
''This intergalactic bounty hunter's full name is Samus Aran. Clad in a Power Suit made by the Chozo race and infused with their enhanced blood, she cleared the planet Zebes of a Metroid infestation. Samus is an orphan, the sole survivor of a Space Pirate raid that destroyed an Earth colony named K-2L.''
=== Adventure ===
[[Image:Trophy11.PNG|frame|right|]]
''Samus has an abundance of projectile weapons, making her a long-distance attack specialist. The most powerful weapon in her arsenal is her Charge Shot, but be warned: it can be reflected. Her missiles have homing capabilities, but when fired as Smash Attacks, they fly on a straight trajectory and have boosted power.''
=== All-Star ===
[[Image:Trophy12.PNG|frame|left|]]
''While Samus's arsenal of missile weapons is indeed formidable, her enemies are in for a rude awakening if they guard against nothing else. Her Grappling Beam captures foes and latches on to walls, and the Screw Attack drags foes upwards in a series of spins that doubles as a recovery move. Samus can also use her Bombs to perform Bomb Jumps.''
=== Samus Unmasked ===
[[Image:Trophy293.PNG|thumb|100x100px|right|]]
''It's said that the orphaned Samus Aran was raised by the few survivors of the Chozo race. They armed her with a Power Suit and taught her the ways of advanced combat; even burdened with her heavy suit, Samus is as graceful as a butterfly. In the Metroid series, it was standard that Samus would remove her helmet and armor if you cleared the game fast enough.''
 
'''NOTICE:''' This trophy cannot actually be obtained in copies of the game without a cheating device. It was only available in a promotional event at Toys 'R' Us  in Japan.
 
== Trophy Information from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' ==
[[image:Brawl_SamusMissionSuit_Trophy.jpg|thumb]]
=== Samus (Fusion Suit) ===
''During exploration of SR388, Samus is infected by an X parasite and nearly dies. A vaccine created from Metroid cells saves her, but her suit turns blue and loses most of its abilities and weapons. This new Samus must regather her special abilities and fight to neutralize the threat of the X parasites in the space station run by Biologic Space Laboratories.''
 
== Trivia ==
*A doll of Samus is owned by the maniacal [[Booster]]. He keeps the Samus Doll in his toy box, on the top floor of [[Booster Tower]]. Additionally, a Samus Doll sometimes appears in ''Super Smash Bros.'' introduction.
*Another Samus doll was earlier featured in the second [[Mario Vs. Wario]] comic story in ''[[Nintendo Power]]''. Mario and Wario compete to present this doll to Peach for her birthday, only to find out at the end that Luigi bought it first.
*Samus was originally going to appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', where she would try a sample of coffee at the [[Starbeans Café]]. She was replaced at the last minute with [[Professor E. Gadd]].<sup>[http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/m&lss_lost.shtml]</sup>
