It inspired the metroidvania genre, obviously, and that's a big deal because of how prominent the genre has become, but it was one of several contemporary games that did (off the top of my head, Kid Icarus was similar in a lot of ways, as was Zelda 2, and I expect I could dig up a few others), and it was Super Metroid (alongside SotN) that really formed the foundation for the genre. It has enough of a legacy to be worth considering, but I don't think it's actually the best game to represent that legacy. --- This is my signature.
