Super Metroid

Super Metroid was lots of fun, with an intricate map layout and a decent soundtrack to match. Plus a giant friendly jellyfish. All on screen text asserts that it's a "metroid larva", but it's totally a jellyfish. According to the ending screen, I spent 11 hours and 1 minute looking for this jellyfish, while collecting 92% of the items along the way. It was a great personal accomplishment to have done it.

It felt like a great accomplishment because this was a very twitchy game, or maybe I am just a bad gamer without the frame perfect reflexes. This is the kind of game that I will play through once and watch someone else do it, and that's exactly what I did after parting ways with that jellyfish. Just being able to understand how amazing these 40 minute speedruns are made playing the game worthwhile.
