has there ever been a metroid game more replayable than this? i cannot fathom for the life of me why i ever used to dislike this game when so much of it is refined and brilliant. everything in the game has been considered for sequence breaking and minimalist runs, resulting in a tightly designed game that rewards skill and knowledge. it's a genuine shame that we're likely never going to see another 2D metroid game like this ever again, because this did so much with so little.
