Super Metroid (SNES) (gamerip) (1994)

I've never even gotten close to beating a Metroid game, but I like this series. I remember trying the game on my SNES Classic years ago and I got hooked. The beginning of the game is a great way to hook the player, even newcomers who don't know anything about the story. Backtracking is fun? Impossible! The music and atmosphere are amazing. The game is challenging. I remember when I first played, I had way too much trouble with (spoilers) the Chozo statue encounter. Of course, I never beat the game because I never finish anything anymore, but I love it so much. I even replayed it a few months ago and got further than the first time I played but I still didn't finish it.
Now that Metroid Prime Remastered is out, it would probably be a good time to start playing the Metroid games again. As of typing this, I've tried playing Metroid 1 and 2 (the originals) before but it's hard to get into especially when there's no map. I wish I could replay Super Metroid without any prior knowledge. The only other game I've played is Dread, which I've only played up until the second area. Dread is really good so far too. But I really need to start actually finishing games that I start playing. It's a bad habit I guess. I start doing something and then eventually I get more interested in some other thing and don't end up finishing what I'm doing. They're basically phases. I could be in a Sonic phase for a few weeks and then go into an Ace Attorney phase the next few, and so on.
Anyways, I feel sorry for anyone who hasn't played this game. If you haven't, go play it right now because it's amazing. And, again, you don't need to have any prior experience with the Metroid series or knowledge of the lore.

Update: I beat Metroid Prime Remastered. Great game.
 
I beat this game a couple months ago. I love this and I was playing it on my snes. In my opinion the older games like mario on the snes and super metroid are better than the new ones. There is something wrong with the cartridge for Metroid... every time I slightly bump the console, or even the small table that holds it, its like a 50/50 chance that it: A) sends me back to the last save area, or B) wipes my save file entirely.

This sounds like your cartridge slot is either damaged or has dirty pins. Could also be cold/cracking solder joints on the cartridge slot or somewhere else on the SNES PCB. I'd recommend you try cleaning up the cartridge slot with a qtip and some IPA.
