Metroid? The huge one? I recall there being one...
Thread title:
I don't think so... if there was, ONE of the SM record vids would have used it by now, as it would save quite a bit of time.

Well, there is a way to decrease the amount of time: Just keep jumping into the Metroid when it latches onto the Side Hopper, lowering the amount of time it needs to drain you of energy. (Since you would take damage obviously from the impact with the Metroid)
Can't think of a way to skip past it though.

Perhaps this will provide some insight?

It can be done... but it won't save any time.
You can take a long time to escape untouched, but you're moving at most about a block a second; it'll take at least 40 seconds (Counting from when the screen will start scrolling again) to make it to the door, which won't save any time and messing up (easy to do) will set you back even farther.
You can take the quick way and escape in about 10 seconds at best, but you'll also trigger a glitch that will slow Samus' horizontal speed for the rest of the game and in the end spend *much* more time.
Escaping the giant Metroid is more for show than anything else.
