Masterpiece!
"Super Metroid" is a masterpiece that is still considered one of the best games of all time to this day. Released in 1994 for the SNES, this Nintendo classic has had a lasting impact on the action-adventure gaming genre, setting the bar high for storytelling and exploration gameplay.

Visually, "Super Metroid" is impressive. The dark, atmospheric world of the planet Zebes is brought to life with detailed sprites, excellent animations, and a sense of scale that was unparalleled at the time. The game effectively utilizes the capabilities of the SNES hardware, creating an immersive environment that grips the player.

However, the strengths of "Super Metroid" are not only in its visual splendor but also in the game design. It is a pioneer in non-linear gameplay and exploration. Players are encouraged to freely explore the world of Zebes, acquire new abilities, and solve puzzles to progress. This creates a sense of excitement and achievement when unlocking new areas and discovering powerful upgrades.

The atmosphere of loneliness and mystery is enhanced by the excellent music and sound effects. The ambient soundtrack perfectly complements the oppressive atmosphere of Zebes and contributes to the overall immersion in the game. Every sound effect adds to the experience, from the hiss of Samus' power suit to the menacing sounds of enemies.

The story of "Super Metroid" is told with few words, mainly through the environment and the player's actions. The quest to rescue the kidnapped Metroid hatchling becomes a personal and emotional journey, despite the lack of extensive dialogue.

The controls are intuitive and responsive, crucial for a game centered around fast-paced action and precision. The ability to quickly switch between weapons and abilities adds depth to the combat and allows players to adapt to different situations.

In conclusion, "Super Metroid" is a masterpiece that has not only stood the test of time but also set the standard for action-adventure games. Whether you are a fan of the genre or simply seeking an extraordinary gaming experience, "Super Metroid" is a must-play that has rightfully earned its place in the history of video games.

One of the best games of all time?
Super Metroid often appears in lists of "the best games of all time," and it's not hard to see why. The game manages to use 16-bit graphics and sound to immerse you in an alien world that always feels slightly claustrophobic and where you never quite feel at ease.

You explore this world at your own pace and in your own way. The game gives you a lot of freedom in that respect, and also offers plenty of opportunities to see things that you wouldn't quite have access to yet. This unique atmosphere and the incredibly free exploration make Super Metroid very special, and make this game one of my favorite games of all time.

A beautiful game where you can get lost without losing your way.
In the summer of 2017, I decided to dive into the Metroid franchise. I've been a Nintendo fan for over a decade, trying practically all the franchises, but my only experience with Metroid games until then was Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Since the original Metroid for the NES was only 3 euros on Virtual Console at the time, I decided to buy it, and I was so impressed that I later purchased Super Metroid. I dare say that Super Metroid might be the best game I've ever played.

I can't think of a game better at building an atmosphere. The planet Zebes where the game takes place truly feels alive, yet you still feel eerily alone at times. The game guides you without words on where to go, so you never really get stuck while feeling like the game respects your intelligence. The animations and sprite work are beautiful, and the music (although perhaps not as memorable as some Zelda music and the like) sets the perfect tone. Samus feels heavy yet agile, and a few upgrades along with the wall jump make Zebes later in the game a sort of playground where half the fun comes from controlling Samus alone. This is a quality that, in my opinion, only Super Mario Sunshine (GC) and Super Mario Odyssey (Switch) share.

Towards the end of my playthrough, I wondered if I had missed any interesting collectibles, so I looked up a walkthrough. To my surprise, due to using the wall jump, I had played the game in a completely different order than what was "intended." Drawing this conclusion was perhaps my most beautiful gaming moment ever. The idea that you can play the game in a different order without encountering problems, in a Metroidvania no less, is absolutely marvelous. This was the icing on the cake for me, a confirmation of the undeniable quality of the game.

The length of the game varies based on how good you are, but you'll easily spend 8 hours on it, and the game genuinely invites you to play it again. It's a bit on the pricier side nowadays, but in my opinion, the game is 100% worth it.

One of the best games EVER!
After the events of Metroid II: Return of Samus (or Metroid: Samus Returns), Samus Aran delivers the last Metroid to a research ship. However, this ship is attacked by Samus' old rival Ridley. After a brief battle, Ridley escapes with the Metroid, and Samus pursues him back to Samus' old homeworld and the location of her first mission (See: Metroid (NES) / Metroid: Zero Mission): Planet Zebes.

In this game, you play as the female bounty hunter Samus Aran. During her mission on Zebes, she discovers (and rediscovers) many Power-Ups such as Missiles, Morph Ball, Varia Suit, and many other old and new Power-Ups.

The controls of Super Metroid are simply fantastic. Despite the fact that later games like Fusion and Zero Mission have slightly better controls, they are still easy enough for beginners and advanced enough for veterans. The music is also very iconic. From Ridley's theme to Lower Norfair to Lower Brinstar, this game is full of iconic tracks that have been remixed many times. This game is well known for the whole 'Hardcore' speedrun community. This was one of the first games that truly encouraged speedrunning. My personal record is just over 1 hour.

In short: despite the high second-hand selling price, Super Metroid is essential for SNES fans.

Secrets:
How does wall jumping work in Super Metroid on the SNES?
Vincent
Super Metroid features a move called the walljump. This allows you to virtually reach infinite heights as long as there is a wall available. To perform the walljump, jump towards a wall, then jump away from the wall by pointing the arrows away from the wall and pressing the jump button. After your walljump, you can jump back towards the wall and walljump again. By using this technique, you can access areas early in the game where you're not supposed to reach without upgrades yet.

Easter Eggs and Glitches:
Where can I find the space to rescue the animals in the game?
Bram de Groot
2376
During the game, at a certain point, you will encounter some animals that will help you master certain techniques. These animals are pretty much the only friendly beings you will come across on Zebes, so of course, you'll want to save them when you blow up the planet! Luckily, you can do this: when you have to escape at the end of the game because the planet is about to explode, just before reaching your ship, you can find a room on your right where these animals are locked up. Blow up a wall so they can escape. If you look closely, you'll even see them flying away from the planet at the end! You can see where to find this room in this video.
