Metroid (Assist Trophy)

A Metroid is an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. When it is released, it will latch onto a an enemy character's head and sap their health. It can be shaken off by moving about rapidly, 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. If you try to do your Up-Special, while a Metroid is latched on you, it will be canceled after the few starting frames, and you can try it multiple times in a row. This allows some characters to stay in the air for quite a while.

Trophy Info
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.
