Super Metroid is, improbably, still one of the best "metroidvanias" ever made. The best, in my opinion. If you use the randomizers that people have developed in recent years, it's infinitely replayable.

It helps that it was among the later SNES games, so developers had more time to learn the hardware. Chrono Trigger (1995) is also one of the platform's best, most polished titles.
