Games like #SuperMetroid and #LinkToThePast are often categorized very differently. The formula though seems nearly the same. Gated challenge areas that give new capabilities, that enable wider exploration.
The difference is largely in visual perspective and control mechanics. Sometimes our genres seem like a feeble attempt at drawing boundaries around an inherently flexible medium.

My 11yo is currently playing Super Metroid randomized. He's awesome at the game, but in this hack, due to not getting the upgrades when needed, I get to see him perform every single trick in the book.
Frame perfect stuff. He reaches areas I never managed to as a kid and thought were out of reach.
Going live on some Super Metroid VARIA! Running a modified version of my marathon flagset, including randomized door colors and possibly Super Fun Movement/Combat!

The reason I dislike 2D Metroid games is the fact that it is very easy to get lost and lose progress on where you are going.
I may have started #Supermetroid hundreds of times, have gotten further and further, but always get to a point where I get lost, and eventually lose interest.
It's an amazing game for its atmosphere and feeling of isolation, and deserves its praise, but it's not a game for me.
Going live to get some revenge for the good people of Ceres Station!
