“Super” was challenging, yes, but being my first Metroid game, I actually beat it in two weeks.
My relative whom I borrowed it from when I was a kid was shocked, because he never beat it, yet he’s owned the game cartridge sense it first came out, and he never beat it.
Though, being a huge Zelda & Castlevania fan, I’m very used to
“Where the hell do I go?” games.
Funny thing is, my first playthrough I missed the charge beam, (which is odd in hindsight, as it wasn’t very well hidden with those suspictious bombable blocks leading downward) so I had to use missles to beat Crocomire, and Kraid, so they were a li’l harder the first time.
