This is my favorite game to speedrun. Not to long, god tier pixel art and colors, amazing soundtrack, the best movement physics in the series, funnest/quickest to use items in the series, it’s just a blast. Wish we had more Metroid games in this style (AM2R does an amazing job at coming close to the feel of this game though).

[@blassx31]

The only thing I don't like is that they gave you a lot of power ups at once when you get your suit back

@@blassx31 that’s bc you didn’t have any of those power ups in the original metroid but tbh I could have done without the whole chozodia section the game should have ended after mother brain like the first game

[@gu3z185]

@@CreamDollYT Super feels way too old imo, the combat and mechanics just feel sluggish. Zero Mission feels even better than Fusion, everything just feels great, and the fights are less facetanky and more evady. The game is way too easy on normal difficulty, though, it's almost as much of a cakewalk as Prime on "normal mode" on Wii. I played Super first and after going back to it, the controls are horrible, like how switching between your missiles needs you to press select, and how LB and RB are for aiming up and down.
