Overview
The metroid series has always been based around a lone wolf exploring a hostile world, and Super Metroid for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System is the pinacle of that ideal. After Samus defeated the Space Pirates in previous games and took a baby metroid for scientific study, the Space Pirates are back with Ridley to take that Metroid for their own purposes. Return to Zebes, homeworld of the Space Pirates, to recover the Metroid and kick some alien butt!

I'm in.  I've owned this for a few years and never got around to exploring much outside the opening areas.  Need to get this off my stack of shame.

it's a bit early but the first post has been updated including the week 1 checkpoint! everyone excited? i've been playing this to work out the checkpoints and i'm really happy i did, it's an amazing game. having only ever played the metroid prime trilogy, i love to see how much was present in this game that they carried over to the later entries in the series.

Personally for me, the true Metroid experience is a 2d platformer.  I don't doubt that the prime games are good, but I have zero interest in a Metroid FPS.

That aside, want inspiration?  Watch this crazy Super Metroid race from last years' AGDQ.  These are the 4 best players in the world, and I'm telling you it's worth watching the entire thing.  Obviously it contains spoilers so watch at your own discretion.  However, there are heavy and nearly impossible sequence breaks going on, and they happen so fast that you wont really remember what they did to get to where they are and you'll be left scratching your head when it's all done.  It's a very entertaining watch!
