Honestly, as a Metroid series fan, the OG was kinda bad (but tried something that was quite new for the time). Return of Samus was ok, especially considering that it was a Gameboy game. Then Super Metroid absolutely knocked it out of the park. The only thing that feels off when playing it today are the somewhat finicky movements

Super Metroid is so good. But you’re right. The controls are… not great.
If you can live with playing a ROMhack, give Super Metroid Project Base a try. It feels so much better to play. The map isn’t quite the same as the original - I consider it an improvement, but it’s not exactly the same.
I just wish the SM /LttP randomizer had the option to enable the new movement.
