Halloween is fast approaching, and you know what that means – long-suffering parents all over the world are putting the finishing touches to outfits they have made for their offspring. By the time November rolls around, everyone will be utterly sick to death of the sight of pint-sized vampires, zombies and werewolves.
However, one family has the right idea, at least. Reddit poster LeCrushinator reports that his wife has painstakingly created this awesome Metroid-related costume for their daughter who really wanted to cosplay as the famous bounty hunter Samus Aran this Halloween.
As you can see from the photos below, the suit has astonishing attention to detail – including lights! – but the thing that really rounds off this project is the fact that dad isn't left out. As you can see, LeCrushinator has his very own Halloween costume, which comes in the form of an illuminated umbrella that looks like a Metroid.

Reject Samus, Return to Metroid.
That looks amazing. I think the visor is the most impressive part. I wonder how well Metroid is known on the surface compared to Mario and Zelda.
That would be such an awesome Halloween, they did a great job on those costumes.
Those are amazing
An umbrella, brilliant
These are genuinely excellent love the umbrella
The dog doesn't look impressed...
I never thought that a Metroid umbrella would be something I needed in my life.
The cosplay itself is pretty good.
Oh my gosh I want that umbrella??????
I’m more interested in the angry pug in the background😂
That dog looks so angry!
Maybe it wanted to dress up too?
That's pretty brilliant.
A Halloween costume with actual effort put into it and isn’t just printed plastic fabric? Not what I thought I’d see today!
Pretty great!
Only thing (probably) missing is Morph Ball functionality…
Pugtroid prime is angry...
Thises costumes are awsome id love to get into costume making more if I had the space lol
the dog clearly doesn't approve
Those are great and also that umbrella is a top selling bit of Merch waiting to happen.
That Metroid umbrella is actually brilliant.
That's super neat!
Brilliant costumes. I'm 5 hrs in to super metroid right now on switch and OMG, I literally hadn't realised how amazing and ground breaking this game was. I always regretted buying a mega drive instead and this has reinforced that
awesone.....awesone
Awesome costume!!
Slightly off topic...that Samus picture they used for this article; for me, that is thé one! They nailed the looks with good old fashion paintings / airbrush.
It looks great and fits the shape of an actual human without dislocating the arms!
I hope mom starts selling Metroid umbrellas on Etsy.
I would pay top dollar for that umbrella.
Excellent work. The Metroid umbrella and lit visor also help with the common Halloween problem of losing eachother in the crowds. No one's going to miss the giant floating Metroid!
This is a lucky kid.
I really like the cute staircase for the dog
That's pretty sweet. My mom once made me a Peter pan outfit when I was 4 or 5, all by hand. I had to wear girls tights, but I also got to use the sword from hook, so I guess it was a trade off lol
This is really heartwarming. Halloween can be such a magical time: did anyone else have to use turnips instead of pumpkins because they were cheaper?
that is awesome
That is amazing! Her mom is the coolest
Now draw her turning into a ball.
Love the costume, brilliant! The Metroid umbrella is hilarious.
I'm gonna get on my soapbox for a second though, is this really a cosplay? It's a costume, yes, and a wonderful one, but doesn't cosplay have its own distinct meaning? Are we at a point now where cosplay has so dominated our culture that even a traditional Halloween costume without the role-play elements is considered a cosplay?
I know this doesn't matter and I'm just asking kids to get off my lawn, but I had to be heard. Nevertheless, the costume is wonderful, fantastic work by the mom who made it.
What a cute pug in the background! That face says “what are the humans doing now…” 😁
So cool! Love all the dog comments!
Moms are awesome like that.
That is the absolute CUTEST. And an incredibly impressive handmade costume. Talk about wife goals.
That little girl has impeccable taste in costume choices! Kid goals!
@Ryu_Niiyama
Moms ARE awesome like that.
My mom used to make great costumes like that for my siblings and I.
I still remember the Darkwing Duck costume she made, complete with a cape, felt hat, gas gun, and soft foam beak.
Pfft.... It's really not that impressive
Dies of jealousy
That Metroid umbrella is just too good!
How long before Nintendo send a cease and desist?
Metroid: Other D
@InvisiBulbasaur Very nice! I wasn’t personally into Halloween ( shrugs I always figured I could get candy anytime ) so I only remember a few costumes, but my world history projects? Woo that “A” belonged to my mom. Real easy to sell an essay when you walk in dressed like Confucius. But I did her proud when I made a Kabuki costume in undergrad Japanese History.
Edit: Called my mom and told her about this and we had a nice convo about the joys of the Mother-Daughter relationship and costume hijinks. So thanks NL!
The umbrella metroid is just brilliant
@RolyTheBeerGeek Missed opportunity to dress the dog as mini-Kraid.
Those costumes are fantastic!
@Clammy : "Take it off! Take it off!"
Good lord, that is insanely good! Like it's professionally made. Man, that is amazing work!
That looks like everything needed for the best Halloween ever! What an awesome pair of costumes. So cool.
I just can't stop looking at the stupid ladder for the dog to be able to get on the sofa.
If I opened the door on Halloween and saw a little Samus standing there with dad under the Metroid umbrella, they get all the candy in the house, full stop.
@Zag_Man Don’t give them ideas.
Now that is an outstanding costume made by this girl's mother. The detail on it is intricate and it truly is the Varia Suit done right. It takes some serious skill to nail the look the way this costume does. A 5 out of 5 from me on that one. Out!
@Silly_G : Dude! It’s a child!
@Clammy : It was a Masked Singer joke, hence the quotations... 🤦♂️
Metroid : M Other
@Falien plot twist is still had the morph ball and missiles
Let's all take a moment and appreciate all the time an effort it took to create this masterpiece. All the time, planning organization, it's not easy. Good job on everything you did for this costume, from blueprints, to painting, to the actual wearing. I know it doesn't come easily.
