is an adventure video game developed by Nintendo R&D1 and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System video game console. Super Metroid was the third released game in the Metroid series of video games. With its 24-megabit cartridge size, it was the largest game available for the console at the time of its release. Super Metroid is a bidimensional platform video game with action and adventure elements. Game progression revolves around sequentially gathering power-ups that allow Samus Aran (the main character) to surmount obstacles in order to access new parts of the world. Like most 2-D Metroid games, the world has a nonlinear design and features many hidden areas, making exploration a central concept of the game. Super Metroid was also made available on the Wii's Virtual Console service on August 20, 2007 in North America, as part of the "Month of Metroid" Wii
