To each their own, I suppose. I think Super Metroid's controls are perfection!

Did you play it on Switch, or some other emulator? I'm playing it on a real cart, via CRT. So if you used an emulator, maybe that's why our experiences are so different (no input lag on CRT/cart etc). I can't play even play Mario 3 on Switch. The input lag is too severe. 

I played it on Switch with a SNES controller. Didn't notice any input lag. The game is just slow and feels imprecise. I played through Super Mario Bros. 3 the same way and it was fantastic. Metroid Samus Returns felt better to me despite me getting hand cramps from the 3DS

That's what it is then, lag input. If you had the actual carts on hand and played them on a CRT to A/B them, you'd notice it immediately.

Last year, or maybe the year before, I had decided to use the living room Switch for playing NES and SNES games in a pinch, since my real consoles are all downstairs, hooked up to a CRT etc. and it's not always that practical.

At first, it was all right. But when I started playing SMB3, and noticed how much harder the game was, I went downstairs, popped the real game in and--since I was use to the lag--blew through it like some sort of speed runner on crack. It was that much of a difference; like trying to run underwater vs down a steep slope. 

I'd suggest trying Super Metroid properly if you get the chance. Maybe your opinion won't change, but I bet it will.
