'''''[[metroidwiki:Metroid (series)|Metroid]]''''' is a series of sci-fi action-adventure video games created by [[Nintendo]]. Often considered a sister series to ''[[:Category: The Legend of Zelda Series|The Legend of Zelda]]'', ''Metroid'' follows the exploits of legendary bounty hunter [[Samus Aran]] as she travels across the galaxy to hunt the creatures known as [[Metroid (species)|Metroids]] and thwart the plans of evil organizations such as the [[metroidwiki:Space Pirates|Space Pirates]] and their leaders, [[Ridley]] and [[Mother Brain]]. The series is noted for its dark, atmospheric nature and focus on exploration, and is one of Nintendo's most popular series for older gamers.

Various elements from the ''Metroid'' series, most notably Samus in both her armored and [[Zero Suit Samus|Zero Suited]] incarnations, have made cameo appearances in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' series]] and its ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' sub-franchise -- the latter of which ''Metroid'' co-creator [[Yoshio Sakamoto]] is heavily involved with. The two franchises have crossed over fully in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]].
