About this product

Product Information

The third installment in the series, Super Metroid for the Super NES once again puts you in the role of Samus Aran, a female bounty hunter. Your mortal enemies are the Metroids, which are quick to reproduce and can engulf living creatures and absorb their energy. In the first game, Metroid for the NES, Galactic Federation researchers discovered a new form of airborne life on planet SR388. They dubbed these dangerous jellyfish-like creatures Metroids and captured a few for later study. Unfortunately, as the crew sped toward Galactic Federation Headquarters, space pirates attacked the vessel, stole the Metroids and took them to their home planet, Zebes. Soon the Mother Brain created an evil Metroid force. Samus's job was to eliminate the space pirates and destroy the Metroids. In the sequel, Metroid II: Return of Samus for the Game Boy, Samus was sent to planet SR388 to make the Metroids extinct once and for all. Her final battle was against the Metroid Queen. According to Super Metroid lore, after destroying the queen, Samus discovered a Metroid egg, which she procured and took with her to the Space Science Academy on the Galactic Federation Space Colony. Here scientists could examine the Metroid larva and understand its special organic structure. Naturally, those pesky Zebesian space pirates and their leader, Ridley, stole the larva and too it back to their rebuilt home planet. Samus promptly received an emergency directive from the Federation, ordering her to follow the pirates and save the hatchling. When she lands on Zebes, she finds that she must now take on an entire legion of space pirates as well as a new Metroid force. The planet Zebes is made up of six huge sections: the surface area, which is under a constant deluge of rain, is called Crateria; Brinstar is a jungle area with a heavy maze of foliage; an underground water world called Maridia is full of killer crustaceans and ferocious fish; deep below the surface of the planet lies the unbearably hot Norfair; the remains of an astronaut crash comprises the Wrecked Ship; and Tourian is the control center for the space pirates and Mother Brain. Throughout the game, you must break down color-coded doorways that were designed to prevent intruders from roaming into restricted areas. As you run, jump, spin, roll and shoot your way through twisted, threatening passageways of this game, you can fire upon Chozo Statues, which will reveal special items that will help you in your mission. You can collect missile tanks, power bombs, a grappling beam (which enables you to swing into certain areas), an x-ray scope (which allows you to see hidden passages) and energy tanks. When you destroy enemy creatures, they sometimes leave behind missiles and energy balls. At the beginning of Super Metroid, Samus is equipped with a normal beam. You can increase her power by collecting the following enhanced beams: Ice, which freezes enemies for a short time; Wave, which sends out a charge in a wavy pattern; Spazer, which is a three-beam attack; and Plasma, the most powerful beam of all. Two special suits of armor, the Varia Suit and the Gravity Suit, are available for use. The former suit cuts damage from enemy attacks in half and allows you to explore in high-temperature areas while the latter reduces damage from attacks to one fourth and lets you explore freely in water-filled zones. Special boot items you can find will help you reach higher places, jump continuously, fly through open areas and run at super high speed while invincible. Superpowers you can acquire for use in turning yourself into a living weapon include: morphing ball, bomb, spring ball and screw attack. The screw attack enables you to somersault into enemies and blast them into oblivion. In addition to battling space pirates, you must face a barrage of freakish creatures and numerous traps. You'll ward off clawed Geruta, fireball-spitting dragons, cacti needle

A true Nintendo classic.
Definitely one of Samus’ greatest adventures and arguably the best 2D Metroid game. Some of the game mechanics can be a little finicky such as the wall jump. Other than that, this is a rock-solid Super NES title and a true Nintendo classic. Totally worth checking out if you haven’t already.

Action-packed and challenging
I've played Super Metroid back when you could rent it, but I was unable to figure out what you were supposed to do, getting stuck in Norfair (needing to get the Varia Suit). With much more skill with games now, I decided to buy it so I could try again. Yet, I got stuck in the same spot again. Thankfully, GameFAQs came to my rescue, but only used to get "unstuck". I got stuck again when it came to finding the grapple, but that was the last time. This made me begin to lose interest in the game. Super Metroid is a fairly challenging game, especially the bosses. The case of having to find the dozens of secret passages adds considerably to the challenge (and is what caused me to get stuck twice). The bosses are interesting in their design and behaviors. Only 2 bosses ... I've played Super Metroid back when you could rent it, but I was unable to figure out what you were supposed to do, getting stuck in Norfair (needing to get the Varia Suit).

I got stuck again when it came to finding the grapple, but that was the last time. This made me begin to lose interest in the game. Super Metroid is a fairly challenging game, especially the bosses. The case of having to find the dozens of secret passages adds considerably to the challenge (and is what caused me to get stuck twice). The bosses are interesting in their design and behaviors. Only 2 bosses in this game were a real pain. While I don't know their names, there's this 4-eyed thing that seems immune to damage except the lava it falls into (nice death effects!). I ended up getting game over twice because of it. The hardest boss was the main boss of Maridia, a lobster-like enemy. It's both powerful, hard to hit, and fast. Get hit by the gray goo and you're in real trouble. I got game over 6 times from this thing, even with 1299 in energy available (1099 plus 200 in reserve). Throughout the game, you, as Samus Aran, go around shooting alien enemies on the planet Zebes (which is also the setting of the first Metroid). Along the way are various power ups such as missiles, bombs, super missiles, power bombs, energy tanks, and reserve energy tanks. Other powerups like suits (the varia suit), enhancers (the grapple), boots (hi-jump boots), beams (the weapon, wave beam), and various other things (morph ball) which are often required, though some are not required. Energy is like HP or health. You start with a maximum of 99 units of energy, but can be extended to up to 1499 with 400 in reserve (giving a sense of 1899 as a total). Each energy tank or reserve tank adds 100 to the maximum. Each pack of missles, super missiles, or power bombs adds 5 to the maximum, and you start with 0 of each. You have an unlimited supply of regular bombs. My favorite element of Metroid is being able to access things you normally shouldn't have access to early. For example, having 599 in energy and 15 or so power bombs before first visiting Norfair is quite unusual. You'll have to figure out how you can do this but it can be done. Aside from getting stuck and those two very difficult bosses, I enjoyed this game and I'm already wanting to play it again. Overall (on a 1 to 5 scale, based on the time this game was made): Difficulty: 2 - hard Graphics: 4.5 - very good Music: 3.5 - somewhat good (it fits the theme, but seems a bit dull (it isn't my type)) Sound: 5 - superior (very fitting and sounds quite realistic) Game play: 4.5 - very good (it's fun getting access to things earlier than you're supposed to; it's the somewhat awkward controls that ruins it a little (especially the last half of the game)). Story: 4 - good (although lacking story elements, what few there are, the story is still good (lower rating because the lack of depth)) Overall: 4 - good

Super Metroid, one of the best games of all time.
Not much can be said about this game that hasn't been said already but here it goes. The third installment of the Metroid series was released for the SNES in 1994. After the great success of the original on the NES, and the second one going mobile on the Game Boy, fans anxiously awaited the release of this game. This game also is where a lot people got introduced to Metroid, now that video games had become a staple in almost every home. The SNES enjoyed a long line of successful titles and to many this game ranks up in the top 5. Graphically this game is beautiful, the enemies are easily distinguishable and the colors are bright and vibrant. The shading looks incredible and the level detail is mind blowing. The sound is right on target, starting out with the all to familiar Metroid ... Not much can be said about this game that hasn't been said already but here it goes.

This game also is where a lot people got introduced to Metroid, now that video games had become a staple in almost every home. The SNES enjoyed a long line of successful titles and to many this game ranks up in the top 5. Graphically this game is beautiful, the enemies are easily distinguishable and the colors are bright and vibrant. The shading looks incredible and the level detail is mind blowing. The sound is right on target, starting out with the all to familiar Metroid theme and following it up with some much more refined boss theme music this game goes way beyond its predecessors. The effects are better than ever, with rockets and lasers all sounding awesome. The controls don't get much better than this. Solid, responsive, and well laid out the game was built around the SNES controller. Like anything else, you need to practice with it first, but once you get the hang of it the controls will seem like second nature to you. Now all thats well and good but games don't stand the test of time unless they have one major thing going for them: Gameplay. This is what gives a game that fun factor and makes you say I'll play it again. Metroid delivers in leaps and bounds. Gone are the passwords and here to stay are save files. Best of all the save stations fully replenish your health. There are also missile reloading stations scattered through out. Upgrades and new weapons are just laying around waiting for you to discover them and you can check if you've been to an area before by switching to your map. You start out with your standard beam, then you get an Ice beam, a Wave beam, even a flying attack called the Screw Attack. And this is just for starters. There is tons to explore in this game so can expect to be playing for awhile. For any SNES collection this game is an absolute must, and is highly recommended to those who have never played it. This game is rated E and is good for all ages only having some mild animated violence. So its a good pick up for anyone.

All-time greatest Metroid game on all platforms. Gameplay is dynamic and immersive, perfectly matching capabilities of the console while exceeding overall expectations.

A truly AMAZING game that can never be over rated! Never sell it!!
A true classic from start to finish! If my brother hadn't stolen my copy I wouln't have spent days trying to find the best deal on this game. I was 8 when this game first came out and of course we had to beg my mom to buy us a copy. My brother sat there for 5 hours and proceeded to beat it from start to finish and I remember every battle looking extremely amazing... of course those graphics were top quality at that time. I couldn't wait to try it! From finding the missle upgrades to suit upgrades it was quite the challange for me but I was determined. Never having beat it in 5 hours myself, I always enjoyed trying! There's just something about the way this game makes me feel that the other metroid games haven't quite captured. If you're a true fan, you'll understand this. There wasn't a ...

There's just something about the way this game makes me feel that the other metroid games haven't quite captured. If you're a true fan, you'll understand this. There wasn't a thing about this game that I didn't love. It was fun and yet it held its own obstacles. I always had a problem viewing the 2 dimensial maps but that wouldn't ever make a great game lose kudos, that's just my own issue. What's not to love? Classic 16-bit soundtrack/noises Classic funny looking bosses Great gameplay Save feature (wow, a life saver -for me.) Decent storyline Planet Zebes Manual game glitches This game was a true inspiration to other game creators out there. If a game that came out nearly 20 years ago can still sell for $40.00... of course it's always worth buying to check it out. -or to replace your old copy. : )
