Attack

Description/notes
|
| B
|
Power Beam
|
Press once to charge up. Press B again to fire. Does most damage when fully charged, which takes a few seconds. Tap left or right to roll if you anticipate that you will be unable to finish the charge. Can be fired in the air, but not charged.
|
| Up + B
|
Screw Attack
|
Samus curls up into a ball and shoots upwards as she spins very quickly, doing moderate damage to anyone she hits. Can be used to reach a ledge that is too high after bomb jumping fails you.
|
| Down + B
|
Morph Bomb
|
Samus morphs into her famous Maru Mari/morph ball form and lays a bomb. These bombs explode after about a second, and do a low amount of damage. They can be used as a dodge to make Samus "slippery", but are best used as a recovery move. See bomb jump.
|
| Forward + B
|
Homing Missile
|
Samus fires a homing missile which does moderate damage and slows down the further it goes. Generally not as good as the Power Missile below.
|
| Smash Forward + B
|
Power Missile
|
Samus fires a missile which sacrifices the homing capabilities in favour of a stronger and faster missile. For effective use tactics, see missile cancel.
