I replayed Super Metroid this week. Without any help, I managed an 85% clear in about 5 hours. There were a few sequence breaks I remember from back in the day like early Super Missiles (but it took a minute to get Mockball down) but overall, I played it mostly how it was "meant" to be played and it was still very enjoyable. I must have repressed Maridia because that was my least favorite part of the game and I have so little memory of it beyond remembering you had to go down a few of the quicksand traps to get items. I forgot how small New Tourian is. It's hard to even call it a final level because it's only about 4-5 rooms and then Mother Brain. Don't get me wrong, when I first played the game almost 30 years ago, the giant Metroid was terrifying and memorable but it only appears two times. I would have swore it played a larger role but nope. Twice. However, even though I'm nitpicking a bit, it's still the GOAT of Metroid. Prime is also fantastic but Super laid the groundwork for everything in the series and for an entire genre. Dread is looking really good to me. The one thing that sticks out the more I see it is how small Samus is most of the time. In Super, Samus takes up a good chunk of the screen due to the resolution of the game but Samus is nimbly bouncing all over the place in Dread while the environment takes center stage. Only in boss battles and against the Emmis does it seem like you kind of regain center stage. I think that amps the feeling of isolation and is closer to the original Metroid, if anything. Can't wait to play it in a week.

Got my hands on the Plasma Beam and Gravity Suit in Samus Returns and the Plasma Beam in particular has been a big quality of life change in terms of being able to quickly mow through enemies without having to slow down. There's enough glimmers of good stuff in here that I think I'll push myself to get through the game but I don't see myself ever replaying it.

This is kind of how I let about it when all was said and done. I enjoyed it but it didn’t feel very metroidy and once I was done I knew I would not be returning for a second round.

This is cool and I had no idea it existed, there was a Metroid CYOA / singleplayer pen & paper RPG released in Japan after the original game came out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXwEgDjozQI Translated digital version that automatically does the pen & paper stuff for you

For the mutant Samus is by the end of Fusion, X isn't part of it. Maybe, assuming the SA-X didn't save her during the events of Dread somehow. I replayed the GBA games recently and had a blast with them. I really can't wait for the new Metroid. I think I enjoyed Zero Mission of the two more though. The player physics just felt so much better than in Fusion (Jumping slows you down there, going into Morph Ball is kinda slow, and Wall Jumping is so much more restrictive to prevent sequence breaks) and the more freeform structure I find suits Metroid gameplay so much better. That being said I appreciate just how useful your upgrades constantly were in Fusion where in Zero Mission, quite a few aren't that great. Charge Beam in ZM isn't really that useful and Missiles are pretty much the way to go, especially Supers. Power Bombs are neat, but by the time you get them, you have nothing to use them on other than getting more Power Bombs for 100%.
