30 Classic SNES Games You Must Play Before You Die
25. Super Metroid
The exploits of Samus Aran might not be as famous as those of Mario or Link but she has become a gaming legend in her own right - Super Metroid is a big reason for that.
Exploring worlds and collecting power-ups are staples of the Metroid experience and Super Metroid is arguably the best game in the series - the complex gameplay isn't for everyone but those willing to stick with it will be massively rewarded - intensely action-packed, it's a game which could be replayed time after time.
Combined with state-of-the-art graphics (for the SNES era, anyway), Super Metroid quickly became a critical success - maybe it's time to see what all the fuss is about.
