You could just take it back...  If that is a pain in the butt though I would try another game.  Make it a gba one if you don't have a DS one.  If the demo is the only game that it seems to be happening on it isn't THAT big of a deal.

It sounds like you have a dead pixel.  You can either return it for a refund/exchange or call Nintendo and they'll replace it for free.  (However, from all the bad things I've heard about Nintendo Australia, you might be best off exchanging it.)

Hey, I got a dead pixel too, top screen bottom left hand corner, it's annoying, EVERYONE I know who got a DS yesterday in Australia has a f*cking dead pixel or something else wrong with it, Nintendos hardware really is slipping. =\

If you want to get it replaced you'll have to call Nintendo Australia, it has a 12 month warrenty so you should be fine.

heehee the Aussies get the shaft again..
erm, I mean, go return... And don't go to Kmart next time... Nintendo of Australia + Kmart = you owned

I remember once i put my gameboy in water (dont ask why) and it rusted.  So I sent it back for repairs to nintendo australia and when i got it back they left a copy of donkey kong country in it hahaha so i scored a free copy of donkey kong country.

But yea anyway if you got a dead pixel take it back there is nothing more annoying.

I don't think that Metroid is the only game it's happening with I live in AUS and I have a dead pixel but it doesn't bother me because you wouldn't be able to see it unless the screen goes black or your trying to look for it with a magnafying (SP?) glass.

Return it nonetheless. Ninty offers free replacements, use them!
