Line 6:
** For Anthony Higgs, MBD or Mysterious Black Dude, so named for his [[Remember the New Guy?]] moment in the ''Other M'' trailer.
** {{spoiler|Some people like to say that the K.G. in Keiji Misawa's stands for "Killed Guy" for this very reason. Dying is all he really seems to accomplish}}.
** The two space pirates that guard Ridley's lair in ''Super Metroid'' have been called "Ninja Pirates" due to their characteristic fighting style.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: In the Japanese version of ''[[Metroid: Other M]]'', Samus is voiced by Ai Kobayashi, who also voiced Deunan Knute in [[Appleseed]] movies. This is also counts as [[Hilarious in Hindsight|funny at first sight]], since Deunan and Samus share similar backgrounds and similar screwed-up pasts.
** Rundas? That's [[Christopher Sabat]].
Line 14 ⟶ 15:
** Replica Justin Bailey codes in ''Metroid II'' and ''Super Metroid''. This eventually resulted in fan-made [[Game Mod|Game Mods]] in honor of the fruitless searching.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: The 2001 E3 preview of ''Metroid Fusion'', at that point simply titled ''Metroid IV'', looked quite different and drew a great deal of criticism for looking like it belonged more on the [[Game Boy Color]] rather than the [[Game Boy Advance]]. With that feedback, Nintendo went back to the drawing board, and at the next year's E3 ran a preview looking much more like the finished game.
** Kraid was planned to be included in ''[[Metroid Prime]]'', but was ultimately scrapped. A [http://img45.imageshack.us/img45/2503/3990140gs.jpg 3D render of how he would have appeared in-game] exists, however.
* [[The Wiki Rule]]: [https://www.metroidwiki.org/wiki/ Metroid Wiki] and [http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Metroid_Wiki Wikitroid].
* [[Word of Dante]]: In official media, the only ''Metroid Fusion'' enemy with "-X" attached to the end of its name is the SA-X. Yet, it seems almost universally accepted among the fandom that creatures infected and/or mimicked by the X parasites follow that naming scheme (Hornoad-X, Geemer-X, etc). It's not clear if this originates from an obscure official source or if it is simply fanon that has become so well known that it's nearly indistinguishable from canon.
