I never completely finished the game as a kid (did kraid+ridley though) and the game just feels poorly designed in a lot of ways that really stick out in the face of newer games with a similar system. Reloading at full hp would have made the game a lot better without changing it that much the enemies that spawn out of pipes, horizontal attack location depending on where you were really breaks the game in some parts. you can either abuse it or you'll be finishing a jump and they'll be head height and hurt you but you can't attack them. and they move just fast enough that unless you're instantly morph balling upon touching the ground, you're getting hit. It's a game where it'd take a lot of patience to do it damageless/very minimal amount of damage, if not straight up impossible. Other notable things is stuff like the Kraid fight and Mother Brain fight just being a straight up mess of attacks. I'm not gonna claim it's expertly designed but it's far from poorly designed. It's about the epitome of a 7 or 7.5/10 game is. Perfectly serviceable as is but has notable issues that could be fixed to make the game better. Fortunately they took all lessons learned from Metroid and refined them into a genre defining sequel with Super. --- The name is wackyteen* for a reason. Never doubt.
