Samus (full nameSamus Aran) is a guest character thatKirby meets up with inStage 2 ofIceberg inKirby's Dream Land 3. She is an intergalactic bounty hunter who travels from world to world, often with the objective of hunting downMetroids. She is easily recognized by her tall and imposing figure, clad in her signature red and orange power armor (though her height relative to Kirby's inKirby's Dream Land 3 suggests she is much shorter here than in her home series).

Kirby can find her at the very end of the stage, and she will give Kirby aHeart Star if he took care of the Metroids earlier on in the lava caverns. When appearing before Kirby, Samus will have her helmet on if the Heart Star condition is not met, and off if it is.

In theSuper Smash Bros. series[edit]

Samus and Kirby also appear together as playable fighters in every installment of theSuper Smash Bros. series. Samus is known for her heavyweight-but-floaty characteristics and her use of projectiles and other long-ranged attacks. In each game, Kirby can copy her to gain her helmet and the ability to fire Charge Shots as his neutral special attack.
