defeating the boss character Ridley in one of the metroid games (especially super Metroid). the term originates from a series of meme posts from nintendo's short lived social network where the person (likely a young child) known as "Pauly" played through Super Metroid posting hilariously cringey posts like "why can't metroid crawl?!?!"
