The Story
Super Metroid never explains itself. The planet Zebes is handed to you — a map, a beam, a silent protagonist — and the game expects you to figure it out. The environmental storytelling, the oppressive atmosphere, the final sequence with the baby — Super Metroid tells its story entirely through architecture and sound. The speedrunning community still discovers new routes. Any% world record is under an hour. The game takes most players 10.
