Metroid is featured in ''Brawl'' as an Assist Trophy. When a Metroid is released, it will attempt to latch onto an opponent's head, slightly immobilize them, and sap their health. It can be shaken off by moving about rapidly (or with a simple air dodge), upon which it may seek another victim. It moves in a rather inertial way (like [[Super Sonic]] and [[Volt Tackle]]), floating about the stage lazily. It can also pass through walls. The Metroid does [[damage]] much like a faster version of the [[flower]] effect, except that it makes characters flinch - only a few attacks can damage, ones that attack on frame 1 - this makes it very difficult to accomplish anything while being sucked, and it causes [[CPU]] opponents to use their [[up special move]] repeatedly while attempting to recover. However, if recovery moves like [[Spin Attack]] are used repeatedly while a Metroid is latched, they can cause a high amount of vertical movement, possibly even pushing the character past the upper blast line. Like [[Starfy]] and [[Lakitu]], Metroid can be attacked, but it will only flinch away a little bit and then attempt to find a victim again. If the victim is KO'd, the Metroid will be KO'd as well. | Metroid is featured in ''Brawl'' as an Assist Trophy.

''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.'' | ''A bioengineered life-form found on planet SR388. Metroids attach to organisms and drain life energy.
