Metroids are an enemy from the Metroid series of games. They make a cameo in Kirby's Dream Land 3 along with Samus Aran (also from the Metroid games). They are strange parasites that latch onto a victim and then proceed to sap their life.
Kirby finds many Metroids in Stage 5-2. There, they'll attempt to suck out Kirby's energy, but when they latch onto him, they don't seem to absorb any of his health. To get the Heart Star for this stage, Kirby must defeat all Metroids; because their principal weakness in the Metroid series has always been extreme cold (usually meted out in the form of Samus's "Ice Beam" weapon), Kirby must get the Ice ability and freeze the Metroids. At the end of the stage, if all the Metriods are wiped out, Samus will appear before Kirby without her helmet on to signify the mission was successful, a likely reference to the typical Metroid convention of allowing players to get a glimpse of Samus's face (and usually body) by attaining a 100% collection rating. In exchange for his help Samus will gratefully give Kirby her Heart Star.
