For some reason, I never played this game back when it came out, when I was a teenager. I recently got back into video games and have been playing through all the highest rated games. I wanted a break from all the 3-D games. I wanted to play 2-D character that could go extremely fast, and I definitely got what I wanted in Super Metroid. I liked the size of the game, in terms of how long it takes to beat, and all the interesting items you acquire. There were a couple parts in the game where I got stuck and had to look up what to do next. And there was an ability (I don't want to spoil it) that was very aggravating to try to use. But the small problems I had with the game weren't enough to stop me from giving it 5 stars.
