I mean, compare her to Turrican who also is a genetically engineered warrior (although from scratch, not bioformed like the Chozo can do) and his arsenal includes a SPIKY morph ball and a LOT more firepower in his quest to stop Mother Brain, I mean MORGUL.

Turrican is faster, stronger, can jump higher (not farther weirdly)

But it's not a total domination; in terms of arsenal Samus' kit is a lot more specialized. Her beam and missile weapons can be upgraded to much more niche uses making her more like a scalpel compared to Turrican's broadsword. Turrican's shockwave generator is comparable to a Power Bomb, but Power Bombs can cause a lot more devastation in confined spaces where as the shockwave generator kinda just passes through things. Samus has higher maximum speed with the speed booster, but Turrican can maintain a higher average... and can aim in more than 8 directions.

Also, Turrican's armour is a lot stronger... However, Samus' power armour has shields which lets her do a ton of things that Turrican can't such as, like, be exposed to space or Metroids without instantly dying.

I don't know much about Turrican except that the composer is Chris Huelsbeck so the music is fantastic

Factor 5 made lots of games for lots of systems

Mega Turrican is arguably the best and that's a Mega Drive/Genesis exclusive

also, Star Wars Rebel Assault II The Hidden Empire on PlayStation is by far my favorite Star Wars game by Factor 5, no competition
Kill the legs first, that's an ironclad battle tactic!
Maybe, but Turrican also sucks ass as a game
What would Bligh do?

I don't think there's been a proper Turrican metroidvania... his kit could work for it while being distinct from Metroid.

...

Hell, why not both? Put them both in the same game
