Super Metroid ALL BOSSES DEFEATED!
1The one that paved way for future games like it.

This is my second playthrough of the game. The first time was through Nintendo Switch Online. Despite that, I sort of forgot some things regarding this game like there being a run button. Nothing too bad though.
I dont remember what my thoughts were before, but what I can say is that you can tell how they kept evolving the formula to what we have here. You can say that this game was the blueprint for what came after.
This game is really good and one of the best games in the franchise. It added just what was needed in order to be the definitive 2D Metroid game. For this, it added a couple of new powerups like the Power Bomb, Speed Booster, X-Ray Vision and a Grapple Hook which makes exploration and finding items easier and more fun. Most of these ended up being mainstays in the franchise. Also this game finally added a map feature, which is one of the best things they couldve added and became a mainstay in Metroid, but a feature that would appear in future games like it.
I liked almost everything about this game. The sprite art is great, the environments, level design and atmosphere are great, the gameplay is great, and the music is perfection. My favorite areas are Maridia and Ridley's Lair in Norfair.
Despite my praises, I have a few issues, which are minor. One issue I have is the wall jump mechanic can be a bit difficult to get used to and can be frustrating at times, especially if you fail to time them. Another issue I have is switching items can be a bit problematic, since it can take a while to get to the one you want and you can accidentally use one if youre either not paying attention or in a tense moment. And Finally, the recharge stations are spaced out which i dont know why. However, these are mostly subjective and honestly could be just me.
As for the bosses, theyre a massive improvement over the previous game, and while not perfect, theyre pretty good and offer a decent challenge. They also still hold up to what we have today.
As for my favorite fights: Ridley (Both fights), Torizo, Crocomire, Phantoon, Draygon and Mother Brain.
