Super Metroid - Exercise is one of those SNES games that just sticks with you. You start off in this eerie, quiet spaceship—no hand-holding, no tutorials, just you and the hum of alien machinery. Within minutes, you're jumping through crumbling tunnels, blasting weird creatures, and wondering where the heck that missile upgrade is hidden.

The controls feel tight, even now, and the way the world slowly opens up as you grab new abilities is so satisfying. One minute you're stuck staring at a high ledge, the next you're bombing through floors and wall-jumping like a pro. And those boss fights? Ridley still makes me sweat.

It’s not just nostalgia, either—the atmosphere is thick, from the dripping caves to the pulsing soundtrack. If you’ve never played it, you’re in for a treat. If you have, you already know why it’s a classic.
