The Screw Attack in the 2D games is a very powerful weapon and is generally obtained late in-game. It is obtained in [[Norfair]] after defeating [[Ridley]] in [[Ridley (area)|his hideout]] ''Metroid'' and ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'' and in the same place in ''[[Super Metroid]]'' and it is obtained in ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'' upon defeating [[Ridley-X]] in [[Sector 1 (SRX)]]. This weapon can decimate any small, less significant enemies, deal severe damage against larger more threatening enemies, and destroy even the seemingly invincible [[Ripper]]s and [[Ripper II]]. The Screw Attack is also used to tear through [[Screw Attack Block]]s and other easily breakable blocks. Since the Screw Attack only has offensive potential, it is not required in any 2D game exept for ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'', due to its linear nature. | The Screw Attack in the 2D games is a very powerful weapon and is generally obtained late in-game.

It retains a similar function in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'' and ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'', with some added capabilities. It allows Samus to jump up to seven times instead of the usual two which she can use to cross large distances easily. It also allows Samus to scale [[Wall Jump Surface|certain walls]]. The [[Gravity Boost]] activates underwater in ''Echoes'' instead of the Screw Attack preventing Samus from using it while submerged.<ref name=Echoes/> It can be steered slightly by tilting the control stick left or right during a Screw Attack. | It retains a similar function in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'' and ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'', with some added capabilities.
