Samus Aran (Classic)		Metroid 08/89	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.
Samus Aran [Smash] (Adventure)		B: Charge Shot Smash B: Missile	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.
Samus Aran [Smash] (All-Star)		Up & B: Screw Attack Down & B: Bomb	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		Metroid 8/89	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.

Samus (Power Suit)		NES Metroid GCN Metroid Prime	Samus in the basic version of the legendary Power Suit, made for her by the Chozo race.

She can use the cannon on her right arm for power shots and build up her arsenal through item pickups.
Samus (Varia Suit)		SNES Super Metroid GCN Metroid Prime	A suit with a higher level of protection than the Power Suit. It eliminates damage caused by very hot or cold areas. It is also more resilient to enemy attacks than the Power Suit and greatly differs in shoulder design. Recent visual depictions of Samus often show her wearing the Varia Suit.
Samus (Gravity Suit)		SNES Super Metroid GCN Metroid Prime	A Power Suit that provides even more damage protection than the Varia Suit. This Gravity Suit also allows Samus to move without water resistance when underwater. In most games in the series, this suit also blocks lava damage and friction. In addition, it allows Samus to use item bonuses like the High Jump, Space Jump, and Speed Booster, even when underwater or in lava.
Samus (Dark Suit)		GCN Metroid Prime 2: Echoes	A Power Suit that reduces damage taken from the atmosphere of Dark Aether. It is obtained after defeating Amorbis in the Dark Torvus Temple. With its increased protection, it greatly widens the range of exploration available in the toxic atmosphere. This suit was developed by the Luminoth, the native race of Aether.

Snake's codec

• Snake: Hey, Otacon. I got a woman here in a Power Suit...
• Otacon: Huh? How'd you know she was a woman? Yeah, that'd be Samus Aran, the most renowned bounty hunter in the galaxy. Her Arm Cannon packs quite a wallop. If you get hit with a charged shot from that thing, you can kiss your butt good-bye.
• Snake: Sounds like my kind of woman...
• Otacon: Yeah, well, just don't get too close, Snake. Samus is deadly. After Space Pirates killed her parents, she was raised by the Chozo and trained in the fighting arts. She's been places and seen things that you and me can't even begin to imagine.
• Snake: But underneath that cold, metal exterior beats the heart of a woman...

Palutena's Guidance

• Viridi: Oh, look. There's Metroid.
• Pit: That's not a Metroid! That's Samus!
• Palutena: Just like Link isn't named Zelda.
• Viridi: And like Pit's name isn't Icarus!
• Pit: OK, this joke has officially run its course.
• Palutena: Moving on, then. Pit, you can reflect Samus's Charge Shot with your Guardian Orbitars. However, Samus can throw a storm of shots at you. If you use your Orbitars too often, she'll know what you're up to. So try to reflect strategically, as opposed to your...usual game plan.
