Super Smash Bros 4 had a new assist trophy introduced today for the Pic of the Day that shows Samus being sent through the air by a monster.

"Pic of the day. Housed within the Control Capsule! Protected by Rinkas! Eyeball armed with a Laser Brain Attack!! The massive Assist Trophy Mother Brain joins the collection!!" wrote Masahiro Sakurai on the Nintendo Miiverse.

The character Mother Brain is one of Samus' greatest enemies from the Metroid franchise of games. She is also from the Captain N: The Game Master cartoon as well. Mother Brain appeared in the first and third games in the series, and later in a Game Boy Advance remake.

In the image Mother Brain is seen breaking out of a glass case, and her eye is shooting a laser beam up at Samus who is now being hurdled through the air. See the image here.

Assist Trophies help SSB characters in their battle. Upon receiving one, the character will summon a random Nintendo character that is not on the game's roster, and it will help them in the battle for a brief period of time.

Yesterday Sakurai showcased Rosalina in the Pic of the Day as she did her cosmos flip.

"Pic of the day. It is said that the cosmos is beneath Rosalina's gown. This was actually featured briefly in her debut video," wrote Masahiro Sakurai on Nintendo's Miiverse. See the image here.

SSB4 is rumored to be coming out for the Wii U and 3DS sometime in March, although there has been no confirmation from Nintendo yet.
