Release: 1994 Platform: SNES Super Metroid took what mad the original game great, and cranked everything up to 11. With its beautifully detailed graphics and distinctive, deep gameplay, Super Metroid has become one of the most critically acclaimed action platformers ever. One of the biggest improvements over the original was Super Metroid's auto-mapping feature, allowing players to keep track of where they were and further encouraging exploration. Extremely replayable, Super Metroid was grand in every sense of the word, thanks to its huge world, moody atmosphere and stunningly varied combat.
