However, Samus's actions caused the Metroids' natural prey, the X Parasites, to multiply and thrive once more. After being infected by an X Parasite, the Federation saved her life by injecting her with the {{s|metroidwiki|Vaccine "Metroid"}}, which was created using the hatchling's DNA. This procedure infused her with Metroid DNA, giving her characteristics such as immunity to X Parasites and a weakness to cold temperatures. During her mission at the infested {{s|metroidwiki|Biologic Space Labs Research Station}}, she discovered that the Galactic Federation had begun a Metroid breeding program. Upon this discovery, she set the ship on a collision course to SR388 and escaped, destroying the last remaining Metroids upon impact. Because of her Metroid-fused DNA, Samus herself is the last remnant of the Metroids, having become the "ultimate warrior" of the Chozo.

In their ''Smash'' appearance, Metroids act the same as they do in the ''Metroid'' series, grabbing players and dealing damage. They can also phase through platforms, similar to Phazon Metroids in ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption''. The form most commonly depicted in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is the Metroid larva, although other forms have made appearances in the series. The fully-matured Queen Metroid (using its appearance from ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid: Other M}}'') and Phazon-mutated [[List of SSBB trophies (Metroid series)#Metroid Prime (Core)|Metroid Prime]] have appeared as [[Trophy|trophies]]; a {{s|metroidwiki|Tallon Metroid}} appears as a [[sticker]]; and [[Dark Samus]] (a reincarnated form of the Metroid Prime) is an Assist Trophy in ''SSB4'' and a fully playable character in ''Ultimate''.

The Metroid uses a {{SSBU|Ridley}} puppet fighter and is fought on the [[Brinstar]] stage's [[battlefield form]]. During the battle, the Metroid appears as a hostile Assist Trophy. Also, the floor is sticky and Ridley's melee blows will heal them when they hit, referencing the Metroid's ability to latch onto their victims, slow them down, and absorb their life energy.
