Among the newcomers is a modification to Samus, officially known as "Zero Suit Samus", only available by using her final smash or "Smash Taunt". Samus's armor will break off into throwable items, revealing her "Zero Suit", which is basically a blue jumpsuit. Samus has been revealed in this form to wield a laser gun that can turn into an energy whip. The mentality of Samus' new ability is the first to be seen in a ''Super Smash Bros.'' game. It is currently not known how exactly this distinguishes Super Smash Bros. Brawl's gameplay from the identical gameplay traditionally enforced since the first iteration of the series, [[Super Smash Bros.]].
