Every art form has it’s entries that are considered masterpieces. The creations that define the medium and push it forward. Film has King Kong, Citizen Kane, the Godfather. Books have The Odyssey, 1984, Moby Dick. By now it’s almost irrelevant what an individual's thoughts are on these works of art because their importance to their medium, and to human society as a whole, far exceeds that which anyone could expect.
Video games have their own entries like this. Today, we’re going to be talking about one of the most important video games ever. One that is considered a masterpiece by many, and one that is considered an overrated product of it’s time by others. Nonetheless, we’ll be taking a look at Super Metroid. The game that laid the foundation for the Metroidvania genre, the game that kickstarted speed running into popularity, and the inspiration for more games than we’ll ever be aware of.
