There's not much new I can say about the game that helped spawn an entire subgenre of adventure games. It's a classic. It's got a brilliant structure. It's a lot of fun to play. The progression is perfectly paced. The music is different from just about anything else that came out around it. Super Metroid is one of those games that really cements the SNES as my favorite console, because no matter what genre of game, it seemed to get the very best of all of them.
