Visiting Super Metroid after playing a remake like zero mission feels redundant, since it envelops most improvements undertaken in SM while deferring or refusing other changes like the fleeting lightness of SM's movement.

Doesn't mean that it's worse though, SM gives an amazing kick that keeps you high for at least half its playtime, it's more of the good metroid! Although it leaves a bad taste in my mouth that 3 games later they still can't do a proper ridley bossfight.
