MB's hairclip



MB's hairclip was a present from the Bottle Ship scientist Madeline Bergman for MB. Worn on the left side of her head, MB kept it even after she turned against the scientists of the station. When confronting Madeline and Samus Aran, it falls off of her head moments before she is frozen and killed by invading Federation Marines. It is then crushed by The Colonel as he steps on it.

It is unknown what the eventual fate of the hairclip was, but it is absent on subsequent visits to the room, so it is highly likely that Madeline saw it as an important treasure and took it with her, much like Samus did with Adam's helmet.

Trivia

 * The hairclip vaguely resembles Metroid nuclei, foreshadowing her connection to the station's Metroids.
 * The hairclip is also used on the file select screen to determine which file has completed the game (sans the post-credits) at least once.
