It's an awesome game.
You control Samus, a bounty hunter, through the catacombs of planet Zebes.
The graphics are aweseom, the music is great, and it's just so damn fun!
I give it a 10/10! Smilie

Beam, how can a 2D platformer inspire a 3D adenture game?

Anyway, it is an excellent game and my favourite on the SNES

Easily, they are highly similar.

^^^Wooooh! Gonna be a fight between BEAM and Gastrian! Smilie

Anyway, everybody keeps saying this game is amazing, so I really should find a copy. Is there a GBA version?

Sadly no. Metroid Fusion is close put pales in comparison to the SNES classic.

Beam you could be a explanetive. WHY do you say they are similar.

I dunno - they're not really..............

If the Metroid Series is similar to anything it has to be Castlevania...They are incedibly alike...Explore a little, find a weapon/tool...Explore more etc.
I guess that is the connection to OOT also, the item found in each temple allows you to explore more of Hyrule to gain access to other temples and items. Smilie

An amazing game. One of my faves ever. Whats the quickest people have completed it here? I done about 2:40.

The games fantastic, yeh! Metroid fusion is as good as this, but isn't Metroid zero mission a remake of this in disguise.

Well Metroid and Super Metroid came first before; Castlevania was structured to be very similar. It wasn't until Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Playstation) that the whole Castlevania franchise mirrored Metroid. Even up to the latest GBA release of a Castlevania game that formula is still there. By the way, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is a great game! Smilie

As I'll be reviewing Metroid: Zero Mission before its April release, I've also been playing Super Metroid on the SNES to see how it compares...and on the whole it compares surprisingly well. You see the controls on Super Metroid are actually a little 'clunky' after playing the extremely smooth Metroid: ZM...but the depth of the game is greater.

In fact, I think I'll do a full blown retro review of SM sometime soon, if I get a chance...it's been too long since my last retro review!
