Metroid Series Trophies
General error in Metroid descriptions

Samus Aran
Trophy description
This intergalactic bounty hunter's full name is Samus Aran. Clad in a Power Suit made by the 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 Space Pirate raid that destroyed an Earth colony named K-2L.
8/89
How to get it
Clear Classic with Samus or play 100 VS. Mode matches with Samus.
Samus Unmasked
Trophy description
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.
8/89
How to get it
Only available at special events in Japan.
Samus's Starship
Trophy description
This compact ship is used by Samus as her base of operations. Of course, Samus can't fly it into the catacombs of every planet she visits, so she leaves it on the surface as her sanctuary. Samus can recharge her Power Suit inside the ship, so it tends to be the only safe and secure spot on inhospitable alien terrain.
11/91
How to get it
Reach the end of the "Escape from Brinstar" stage in Adventure Mode.
Kraid
Trophy description
A boss enemy from Metroid. Kraid lives in the 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 Tourian opened.
8/89
How to get it
Play 50 VS. Mode matches and unlock the Brinstar Depths stage.
Metroid
Trophy description
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.
8/89
How to get it
Available in the Lottery and as a random drop in Classic, Adventure and All-Star.
Metroid reflection
Look closely at the Metroid's dome, and you can see the reflection of the Metroid containment chamber from Super Metroid.
Ridley
Trophy description
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 SR-388 incident, where Samus captured the infant Metroid, Ridley took the Space Academy by storm, annihilating the complex and taking the Metroid back.
8/89
Errors in the description
The "Space Academy" was named Ceres Station, and was a scientific research facility.
How to get it
Available in the Lottery and as a random drop in Classic, Adventure and All-Star.
Chozo Statue
Trophy description
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.
8/89
How to get it
Available in the Lottery and as a random drop in Classic, Adventure and All-Star when you have either:
- cleared Adventure at least once
- collected all other Trophies in the Lottery
Screw Attack
Trophy description
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.
8/89
How to get it
Available as a random drop in Classic, Adventure and All-Star.
