The baddest bounty hunter this side of Bobba Fett returns in this third installment of Metroid. Set on the original world of Metroid 1 (NES), this game takes you through various terrains to stop Mother Brain's plans once again. Concidering the setting and the plot, you could almost say it's a remake of the original game, juiced up for the SNES. I personally have no complaints with that concidering this is one of the finest games I have ever played. The graphics are amazing, even with today's standards, and the side-scrolling gameplay was unparrelleled until Castlevaina: Symphony of the Night (PSX).

Probably the most superb game I have ever played. This one has everything - depth, strategy, a compelling story, an amazing cinematic feel, questionably 32-bit graphics, and I go on and on. The true test of one's might in this game
is attaining 100% of the items and beating the game in less than 2 hours.
