| '''Metroids''' are the titular species of parasitic aliens from the [[metroidwiki:Metroid (series)|''Metroid'' series]]. They were created by the [[metroidwiki:Chozo|Chozo]] to combat the [[metroidwiki:X Parasites|X Parasites]], though they eventually grew out of hand, and are now supposedly extinct thanks to the efforts of [[Samus Aran]].

| ===''Wario Land II''===
| |
| [[File:WL2 T 5x-4.png|frame|left]]
| |
| In ''[[Wario Land II]]'', which was developed by the [[Nintendo Research & Development 1|same team]] behind the original ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid (game)|Metroid]]'', a Metroid appears as the [[Wario's Treasures|hidden treasure]] for the level [[Don't shock the owl!]]
| |

| |
|
| |
| ===''WarioWare'' series===
| |
| A Metroid appears in the [[Metroid-Samus]] [[microgame]] in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'' The Metroid advances toward Samus in a different pattern depending on the difficulty level, and the objective is to shoot it with her arm cannon before it can reach her.
| |
|
| |
| Metroids also appear in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', in the international version-exclusive microgame [[Metroid (WarioWare: Touched!)|Metroid]], and in the Big Name Game also titled [[Metroid (Big Name Game)|Metroid]]. In the former the objective is to drag Metroids off of Samus using the stylus, and in the latter the objective is to destroy two Metroids by tapping them.

| [[File:SSB4 Metroid.jpg|thumb|left|240px|A Metroid in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
| |
| A Metroid appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''; they also appear as enemies in Smash Run in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''. When they appear, they float around the stage, latching on to players and inflicting damage for a time, similar to their series of origin.

| ===''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''===
| |
| In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', a Metroid can be seen in background of the level [[Amiss Abyss]] as an [[Easter egg]]. If the player passes the first signpost and giant illuminating statue, reaches the end of the trench and heads back towards the statue through the anemone (the player must have more than one heart to do this), they will find it floating upward from the seabed in the background.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ShaneMarchis/status/1025138749749919744 Tweet by Shane Marchis]</ref><ref>GameXplain.

| |''A parasitic life form that can absorb all types of energy, Metroids have strong resistance to most conventional weaponry. To defeat them, Samus Aran had to freeze them with Ice Beam shots and then blast them with missiles. Mochtroids, which look like Metroids, are weaker, with fewer internal nuclei.''

| |''A bioengineered life-form found on planet SR388. Metroids attach to organisms and drain life energy. The Galactic Federation commissions Samus to eliminate them, but Space Pirates try to harness their power. One of the few ways Samus can kill Metroids is by shooting them with the Ice Beam and then shattering them with missiles. The Metroid's cry is chilling and indescribable.''
