Editing List of SSBM trophies (Metroid series)

|[[Samus (SSBM)|Samus Aran]]

|{{anchor|Samus Aran}}[[File:Samus Trophy Melee.png|100px]]

|align=left|This intergalactic bounty hunter's full name is Samus Aran. Clad in a {{iw|metroidwiki|Power Suit}} made by the {{iw|metroidwiki|Chozo}} race and infused with their enhanced blood, she cleared the [[planet Zebes]] of a Metroid infestation. Samus is an orphan, the sole survivor of a {{iw|metroidwiki|Space Pirate}} raid that destroyed an {{iw|metroidwiki|Earth}} colony named {{iw|metroidwiki|K-2L}}.

|{{b|Screw Attack|item}}

|{{anchor|Screw Attack}}[[File:Screw Attack Trophy Melee.png|100px]]

|align=left|One of Samus Aran's power-ups from the original Metroid, the Screw Attack turns a jump into a rotating attack move. When carrying this item, any character's ordinary jump move will turn into a Screw Attack. By the same token, if you throw this item at an enemy, your foe will spontaneously do a Screw Attack.

|[[Kraid]]

|{{anchor|Kraid}}[[File:Kraid Trophy.png|100px]]

|align=left|A boss enemy from Metroid, Kraid lives in the [[Brinstar Depths|depths of Brinstar]]. He immobilizes enemies with his three red eyes, and his powerful jaws can crush anything. He can also shoot the three spikes in his belly; it's said he often fires them at his prey. Once Samus defeated Ridley and Kraid, the way to {{iw|metroidwiki|Tourian}} opened.

|{{iw|metroidwiki|Chozo Statue}}

|{{anchor|Chozo Statue}}[[File:Chozo Statue Trophy.png|100px]]

|align=left|These statues, which provide power-ups to Samus and have some connection with her Power Suit, have been found in many places, most notably Zebes. The Chozo boasted the most advanced civilization in their galaxy. Some say that when they could advance no further, they chose to withdraw and observe other life forms.

|Samus Unmasked

|{{anchor|Samus Unmasked}}[[File:Samus Unmasked Trophy.png|100px]]

|align=left|It's said that the orphaned Samus Aran was raised by the few survivors of the Chozo race. They armed her with a Power Suit and taught her the ways of advanced combat; even burdened with her heavy suit, Samus is as graceful as a butterfly. In the Metroid series, it was standard that Samus would remove her helmet and armor if you cleared the game fast enough.

|-

|{{b|Metroid|creature}}

|{{anchor|Metroid}}[[File:Metroid Trophy Melee.png|100px]]

|align=left|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 {{iw|metroidwiki|Ice Beam}} shots and then blast them with [[missile]]s. {{iw|metroidwiki|Mochtroid}}s, which look like Metroids, are weaker, with fewer internal nuclei.

|-

|[[Ridley]]

|{{anchor|Ridley}}[[File:Ridley Trophy Melee.png|100px]]

|align=left|The head of the Space Pirates on Zebes, Ridley soars through space on wicked wings. Ridley may look like a mindless monster, but he's actually quite intelligent. After the [[metroidwiki:SR388|SR-388]] [[metroidwiki:Metroid II: Return of Samus|incident]], where Samus captured the infant Metroid, Ridley took the [[metroidwiki:Ceres Space Colony|Space Academy]] by storm, annihilating the complex and taking the Metroid back.

*The Samus Unmasked trophy could not be attained in-game via normal means; the only way to obtain it was to attend events in real life that would write the trophy onto ''Melee's'' save data, along with the Mario & Yoshi trophy.

**As no such events occurred outside of Japan, it is otherwise unobtainable without hacking.
