This is the best game I've ever played. It's kinda old but that doesn't matter. It is much better than any final fantasy game you can play.If you like to play rpg's and you like playing fun games this is the game for you.Ive beaten it like twenty times but i cant stop playin it. Buy it, you wont't regret it.
Horrible story execution?!

Let me give you all a piece of advice, do not, I repeat, DO NOT pay any attention to the oakdale reviewer's review. The story is just fine and is executed perfectly. I don't have the patience to go through these games without codes so of course I used the invulnerability cheat. Yeah yeah I know what you are all thinking, but I don't care what you think anyways. Either way this game was a blast to play and I always wonder why I never bought it. The graphics are one of the absolute best for the SNES, as well as the music, sound, and control. I throughly appreciate how well the control responds because in this type of game the last thing anyone needs is frustrating control. The story is definitely not as bad as that oakdale idiot made it out to be. I think there have been a couple of reviewers that have already given the story away and I'm too lazy to write out the whole thing, heh. Let's just say that when you play the game you will appreciate the storyline, but what about the gameplay? Oh geez there is a ton of gameplay to be had, there are plenty of hidden rooms, extra power-ups, etc. The bosses, the enemies, the environment, etc. all of them are graphically enhanced and move along fluidly. The sound and music together both fit the game's sometimes eerie atmosphere. I enjoy this game a lot, and it's definitely one of the best games for the now-dead SNES. Buy it if you have an extra 33 dollars you can spare.
Best Metroid Game EVER!!

This game is 100% I love it. It's so cool, you get to go and fight aliens and stuff. I love the Metroid games but this is number one. Youv'e gotta beat this weird thing called Mother Brain, and if You beat the game in under 3 hours you get to see Samus in a Bikini. My favorite items are the Super Missles and the Power Bombs. If you don't have this game and you have a SNES, GET THIS!! In this Metroid game you are a girl Samus because the boy died in Metroid 2 return of Samus. The hardest boss is Ridley, even if you beat Mother Brain you still have to beat Ridley again. Overall, this is a exellent game and only gamers who like challenges, Puzzles and really hard stuff that requires full Brain Power should take on the excitement of this game!!!
a classic

I can't get past the Brinstar for beans but let me say that this is a descent game. It is extremely challenging even with a players guide but yet is so fulfilling. It really shows what happens when jellyfish go bad. This is an innovative side-scrolling shooter that keeps you happy though I could do without the creepy music. The original Metroid had more catchy and exciting tunes. There's the only flaw besides the extreme difficulty.
super metroid super fun

I have never been able to play super metroid because the prices are so high that I cannot afford it. I sugggest that you please lower the prices to an afforable price. by the way I like super metroid becuase it really speaks my language and it makes other games besides axlay and other shooters ect a bumer but it is great with all the shooting and the saving the world and the ending is a great mix of anime and other stuff.
This Game Deserves 0 Stars........

Title says all. I had this game when I was young and it was SWEET! the last boss was SO CREEPY! IT WAS LIKE- I better not tell you the last boss! But it was awesome! I don't have the game any more. Bummer. We released our old broken Super Nintendo that I played it on and traded it and all the games we had for it for a PlayStation. But a few years after that we got another SNES! Double Bummer! But I would highly recommend this game for ANYONE ABSOLUTLEY ANYONE WHO HAS AN SNES!!!!
Amazing game one for the ages

This is the 3rd installment to the metroid series. And probally one of the best. It was the first of the metroid games to have a map of the areas and a section that told what you have collected so far. It takes place after samus aran finishes off the metroids on the planet SR388 which is roughly about oh maybe 6 months-1 year after the origional metroid. Ridley, a massive teridacle like creature (also from the origional metroid) goes to the space coloney (a massive research station used by the intergalactic federation police) to take the baby metroid which latches itself to samus in metroid 2. after samus lays some damage on ridley it takes off with the metroid and selfdestructs the coloney. samus then escapes and follows the flying feind to the space pirates own base....the origional home of samus aran! (i found that out reading some metroid manga, japanese comics) the game is outstanding. if you have a super nintendo you have to get this game. but if you dont have patience and cant exept a defeat here and there you will probally smash this game in a mad rage. but this game is the best with some seeings of some old enimes such as ridley, kraid, and the mother brain. and some new ones such as draygon, crocomire, and phantoon. this game is amazing the name is super metroid, the platform is super nintendo, and the fun level is infinity!
