'''''Metroid''''' (メトロイド, ''Metoroido'') is the first game in the [[Metroid series]] of video games. It was released first for the [[Famicom Disk System]] on August 6, 1986, and later for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] in August 1987 (North America) and on January 15, 1988 (Europe).
 
The game runs on the same engine as ''[[Kid Icarus]]'', released at the same time as this game. Both games used save slots in their Disk System versions, but used a password system in North America (as such, they were called "Password Paks" in that region). Both games have their differences as well, particularly in setting: whereas the setting of ''KI'' was based off ancient Greek mythology, Metroid takes place in a bleak, futuristic science fiction environment.
 
It was remade, with an expanded storyline, as ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid: Zero Mission|Metroid: Zero Mission]]'' for the [[Game Boy Advance]] in 2004.
 
==[[Super Smash Bros. series]]==
[[Samus Aran]], the game's main character and silent protagonist, is a playable character in all three ''Super Smash Bros.'' games. All the stages from the Metroid series, other than [[Frigate Orpheon]], are from this game. The theme for "Brinstar" can be heard on the [[Planet Zebes]] stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and on the [[Brinstar]] stage for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. In addition, the theme for the area "Kraid" is remixed on the stage, [[Brinstar Depths]]. A remix of the Brinstar theme appears in ''[[Brawl]]''.
