So, for any gamer that somehow missed this game, you should play it NOW! A very clever side-scroller that allows you to explore in whatever direction you wish - provided you have the right equipment to get through the area. It is very Zelda like in that respect: Hey, there's a couple of doors that I can't open now, but I'll try to remember to come back when I get more upgrades!" This game has been a huge influence on many games from later generations, and most fans will tell you that Super Metroid is the best title in the series.
