A game so amazing that it was one of the responsible to create an entire new genre that includes the name of the franchise. From the atmosphere, from the level design, from the boss fights, from the gameplay, everything in this game has been very well-thought-out to bring the best possible experience for the player to explore the rich world of this game, and it manages to be even more fun in different playthroughs after you learn to do wall jumps and other more advanced techniques to gain access to items that you didn't even imagine were accessible without the use of some specific upgrade. There are still some things that bother me about the game, like it not showing the items you've picked up on the map like in future games in the series, after you save in the last save point of Tourian you can't go back to previous maps, and Maridia is a very boring map to deal with because you need to use X-Ray in every corner, but even so, nothing that really diminishes the great value that Super Metroid has, it deservedly remains one of the best games on the SNES, and one of the most important games of all time.
