Super Metroid is the zenith of 2D gaming. Look at all the indie games trying to be like it. Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission don't even come close to breaking new ground and innovation (still fun games though) Symphony of the Night was excellent, and still is (though I prefer Circle of the Moon and Dawn of Sorrow, just a little bit more) but it was excellent because it drew inspiration from Super Metroid.
