Likely don't have anything to say that hasn't already been said. Super Metroid rides along its deep sense of exploration, tough but exhilarating combat, and its mysterious (sometimes dreadful) atmosphere.
It can be frustrating at times for a new player. Some required means of progression call for a walkthrough if time is to be respected. There's some interesting choices towards the end of the game that work against it, namely the screwattack destroying once traversable platforms.
But the game truly is a master class in design. Aside from the obvious, I'd love to point out how well placed the enemies are. Makes backtracking more fun and less mindless.
