Like most series from [[Nintendo]], ''[[Metroid (series)|Metroid]]'' has had minor cameos in several games. The most prominent being the ''Super Smash Bros.'' titles, but no documentation of the series is complete without a thorough listing of all others.

[[File:TetrisDS.jpg|right|thumb|Tetris DS cameo|150px]]
''Tetris DS'' features an entire gameplay mode dedicated to ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]''. "Catch Mode" deviates from the standard ''Tetris'' play by employing a smaller field of tetriminos. The objective is to build a 4x4 square which will self detonate. All the while gameplay from the original ''Metroid'' title will automatically play on screen.

==''Galactic Pinball''==
Samus was in one level of ''Galactic Pinball''. This marks Samus's first appearance in a pinball game, and only appearance in a [[nwiki:Virtual Boy|Virtual Boy]] game. In ''Galactic Pinball'', [[Samus Aran's Gunship|Samus's gunship]] is controlled to shoot [[Metroid (species)|Metroid]]s.

==''Kirby'' series==

The ''[[wikirby:Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' series, developed by HAL has been ripe with ''Metroid'' cameos. In ''[[wikirby:Kirby Super Star|Kirby Super Star]]'', [[wikirby:Kirby|Kirby]] is able to collect a treasure called the [[Screw Attack]], which appears as the stylized S symbol; and one of his "[[wikirby:Stone|Stone]]" attack formations manifests to a statue of [[Samus Aran]]. In ''[[wikirby:Kirby's Dream Land 3|Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', Samus tasks Kirby to kill [[Metroid (species)|Metroid]]s with the "[[wikirby:Ice|Ice]]" attack.

Samus is a playable character throughout the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. Since the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (game)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' debut, Samus has been a starting [[smashwiki:List of Super Smash Bros. series characters|character]] in the series. Many trophies relating to the [[Metroid (series)|''Metroid'' series]] can be unlocked. An [[smashwiki:Assist Trophy|Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'' has a chance of releasing a [[Metroid (species)|Metroid]] that drains the energy of foes.

In addition, Ridley appears in the opening cutscene in Melee and as a boss in Super Smash Bros Brawl, and Kraid appears as a stage hazard in Brinstar Depths in Super Smash Bros Melee.

==''Super Mario'' series==
In [[mariowiki:Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|''Super Mario RPG'']], if the player goes to the castle and looks in the guest room, [[Samus Aran|Samus]] can be seen there at certain points in the game. She is asleep, but if the player interacts with her, she will mumble about how she is getting ready to fight [[Mother Brain]]. She does not play any other part in the game. The part of Mother Brain could be in reference to [[Metroid 3]] in which her final battle against her (or final so far in the franchise) happened.

==''Animal Crossing'' series==

Samus makes a couple of appearances in the ''[[Metroid in the WarioWare Series|WarioWare]]'' series. The multiple mini-game gameplay of ''WarioWare'' allows for easy fittings of cameos from various other Nintendo series. The [[mariowiki:9-Volt|9-Volt]] mini-games are especially effective in bringing in characters from other series. Each game (with the exception of ''[[mariowiki:WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase|WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'') has at least one microgame based on the ''Metroid'' series. They usually involve controlling Samus to do a particular action, usually defeating enemies quickly.






== Paper Mario series ==

<small>More specifically in Paper Mario: The origami king''</small>


In the recent Paper Mario: The origami king in the trailer it is seen that in one place you can get a [[Samus]] helmet made of paper mache,

at first it was believed to be false But the players found it and claimed it was real,
when putting it on,
Mario will put his arms in the style of [[Samus]] in the [[Prime series]],
and the most iconic song of the first metroid will be heard.


=== Metroid Prime 3: Corruption ===
