The series in general
Metroid- In the original Metroid, someone had the idea of typing in the password "ENGAGE RIDLEY MOTHER FUCKER
" Apparently, the game doesn't like foul language, because this password takes you to a glitched version of the first screen of Brinstar that wraps around infinitely instead of scrolling, making it impossible to progress at all. Also, it turns out the password kills Ridley, making him unable to be engaged with anyway. Warning: Depending on what version of the game you're playing, this sometimes causes the game to reset or outright crash instead, particularly on the 3DS Virtual Console version.- There's also the similarly obscene MOTHER BRAIN? FUCKIN TOASST (yes, with two s's). This password sends Samus to Tourian without her power suit, and when she reaches Mother Brain the notorious space pirate is seemingly absent. After progressing past MBs containment tank the game just cuts to the end screen with Samus having her back turned to the camera and crying! What?! (Watch it covered here by Somecallmejohnny)

Manga
- In the Victory Techniques for Metroid manga/strategy guide, Samus noticed that the pipes that dispensed Zebs looked very much like a certain plumber's method of public transportation. When she tried to climb into it, she received a very painful bite on the ass. It makes one wonder why this didn't happen to Mario.
- The Shape of Happiness, a parody manga of Metroid featured in Famitsu Comix, has Samus using rather... unconventional methods to defeat Kraid and Ridley:
- How does she defeat Kraid? She doesn't. She kills Fake Kraid, who is wearing a shirt identifying him as a Trick Boss. She then covers up the shirt with a handwritten note saying that he's real Kraid, and she declares that this makes him real. Somehow, this actually works, since Kraid's stone statue is activated.
- Samus gets hopelessly lost in Norfair while trying to find Ridley, much to the latter's aggravation. Ridley ends up dying of old age while waiting for Samus to arrive.
- The Super Metroid manga is full of hilarity:
- The "Round and Round" strips are just gag after gag of a Cloudcuckoolander Samus's obsession with round objects. Even when she's being impaled by Crocomire, all she feels like doing is admiring how perfectly round his eight eyes are.
- In the "Oh! Metroid" strip Gourmet" Expert, a Samus Eater does what its name implies (complete with OM NOM NOM). However, it spits the main character back on its own, dissatisfied. Samus is quite pissed that it thinks she tastes bad.Samus: "Bleck"?! Why did you say "bleck"?
- The "Find the Baby!!" strips feature various gags related to Samus's equipment and abilities. In the one focusing on the X-Ray Scope, she tries it out on a nearby wall and... sees two Etecoons making out, who are shocked by the accidental peeping tom.
- After Samus gets the Morph Ball back in the "EX" arc of Metroid: Samus and Joey, she spends the final page happily rolling around in circles while her allies awkwardly comment that she seems more obsessed with the ability than the guy who stole it.
