Latin sends shivers down my spine and it's just damn neat. ABF just doesn't seem to grasp the idea of music.

it looks like a vile with something moving inside. It smacks them lightly, breaks open, and an infant Metroid flies over to the thrower, circles them, then flies off screen. The entire background and foreground goes black so all you see is the players and an adult Metroid begins feeding on whoever you threw it at, the pulsating music and the familiar SKREEE sending players in to a panic. While it feeds, it grows and after it gets the player's % up to 200 it makes a final bite sending them off screen. Now larger, it attacks it's next victim and so on. Then after it gets each player once it returns to the person who threw it, latches down on them and returns their % back to zero... at which point it dies and falls to the ground.

A different way to do it would be that if you open the vile it's a cat's game. The Metroid will just attack everyone at random for a time before it either flies off or gets destroyed but its not nearly as dramatic and doesn't play off the whole parenting theme of Metroid.

Dark Samus would make a brilliant assist trophy, covering the level in patches of phazon and briefly kicking ass with various moves, but the phazon she leaves behind would last the duration of the fight and harm anyone that gets near it. It could even interact with Metroid themed powerups/assist trophies/players and cause them to mutate, turn Samus in to hyper mode, omfg I dont think Aether is gonna make it as a level but you could have a Luminoth as an assist who opens a portal, inverts the level, and brings you in to a reverse version of the level that's covered in Silent Hillish death. While you fight, you watch the Luminoth recharge the light generator and fight off Ing, when the light generator is back on, you're sent back to the real world.

But at the very least, a Metroid assist trophy plz.
