Metroid

Metroid is a game franchise created by Nintendo. The player suits up as intergalactic bounty hunter Samus Aran and battle your way out from the depths of a mysterious alien world plagued by a mechanical menace.

Metroid combines the platforming elements from Mario Bros. and the exploration from The Legend of Zelda with a science fiction setting and an emphasis on nonlinear gameplay. Most Metroid games are side-scrolling, while the 3D games use a first-person perspective.
