Mother Brain appears as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. When she first appears, several Rinkas appear that damage opponents, and since they are energy-based, Rinkas can be absorbed or reflected.

When she uses the attack, however, the glass surrounding her container shatters, allowing opponents to attack and defeat her.

Trivia
- In the Brinstar stage seen in many Super Smash Bros. games, a massive brain can be seen occupying the background, writhing and occasionally sprouting wound-like growths whenever it comes in contact with the acid. Brinstar Depths contains another brain, this one smaller and trapped within a spherical spiked cage. It is unclear if either of these are intended to represent Mother Brain, though they do not particularly resemble any form of hers from the Metroid franchise.
