isn't what they're doing a route tweak? They didn't do Phantoon as the first boss at the previous *GDQs, unless you count the RBO they did at AGDQ2016

They didn't? My memory's playing tricks on me then.

Wasn't it the last big race that they did for super metroid that one of the guys was on WR pace until like the last 10-15 minutes of the game + the save the animals?

Nah, Metroidvania means the Castlevania games with Metroid exploration. The term also works for games that took cues from SOTN, I suppose - not outright Metroid poo poo, but games with RPG elements, equipment and poo poo. At least that's how I use it.

Metroidvania is just the word used for the "genre" of side-scrolling, exploration heavy video games. It's a dumb name, but it's like "you know, games like Metroid and Castlevania. Metroidvania :effort:"

like how people used to call FPS' "Doom-likes"

You're not wrong, I just use it especifically for poo poo that also has RPG elements. Like, Axiom Verge is outright a Metroid clone in my head, for example.

Oats is doing really well.

like what the heck does metroidvania even mean if super metroid isnt one

It means a lot of things depending who you talk to and how pedantic they are. Some people use it for "Metroid-like Castlevanias" (also called Igavania because of the guy who made most of those), others use it for the whole genre of 2D powerup-based exploration platformers in the style of Super Metrois and Castlevania (though neither was the first).
