Here is some data and some static and other information about this game from the mid 1990s area during the last years that supernintendo was in business before It was replace with the nintendo 64 for in between 1996 and discontinue around 2002 maybe earlier. It's popularity was also short lived. You can beat this game with only 109 shoit is if you find and use the plasma a lot on the bosses the special weapon given to you by the metroid that was captured which ironcially scarfices its self to heal you restore your health if you make it to the final boss fight against mother brain. Unfortunately ike at ridely the first time when he can't be defeated mother brained iniaties a self desctruct seqeunce upon here defeat you have about 3 minutes to get out of all the chamber on to your ship and off the planet or your toast. The original metriod in the mid 1980s was a big hit creating several sequels and prequels including metroid Prim I and Metroid Prim II. The first game is actuallu metroid prime for gamecube. Also Samus depisite the characters brod shoulders look is actually a girl. If you die in the game super metrioid her armor dissapeares and she appears naked for a few second then you must reloaded the game from the last save point used .Which this player on you tube that posted this run neglected to use thank good he always healed inbetween bose fights picked up enough spare energy packets to beat all the bosses except for the two sub bosses in about and hour the world speed recorded for this game. Also if you want to know Ridly, and Kraid where destroyed before Super Metriod in Metriod II return of Samus for either gameboy or game gear Ridly, and Krad were also boss in that game also but were somehow were clone or recreated. In between this game and the prequel Metriod II return of Samus. Got to I hope this information was helpful and interesting.

Super Metroid is absolutely one of the best games ever made for Super Nintendo. The graphics are astounding on the system for a side to side motion game, and has many different moves and weapons, with very little violence,which makes it suitable for younger kids.
The controls are great, but it's quite hard to bounce off walls and accend higher, and unlike Metroid Fusion on GBA there are no directions what so ever to tell you where to go, so it took me a while to find my way around in the game. But there is no doubt that this is an excellent game, but I suggest purchasing it at a local game store.
Best game ever May 30, 2007

I could ask every I see at school if they ever played Super Metroid and out of the 20,000+ students there, I'd estimate maybe 1/500 have played this amazing game. Despite the imense popularity of the Metroid series in the gaming world, Samaus Aran's exploits are unfortunately not well-known outside of geek gatherings. So I say to you, oh one-who-hath-never-played-Metroid. YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO PLAY THIS GAME IMMEDIATELY IF YOU VALUE ANYTHING THAT IS FUN!!!! Buying this game would probably be the most sound advice I'd give to anyone who wants a game that a.) anyone can play and beat, and b.) it is fun as hell.
As for official stuff:
1. Great Graphics (for SNES)
2. Huge areas!
3. Great power-ups
4. Challenging, but not overstressful.
5. Great replay value (go back and find all the items, beat the game in three hours).
6. Rich enviorments and atmosphere.
7. Great soundtrack.
8. Kill a giant brain.
9. Easy controls.
10. EVERY ELSE IS DOING IT!!
I LOVE THIS GAME! August 13, 2006
