Revive type items wouldn't work good in most/all of the ones I've played, since those generally only have one character you control through the game

Interesting; I don't think I've seen a multiplayer Metroidvania that works where the players can split up... the multiplater in Guacamelee, it might work there.

It's ok,

Since Mana is functionally ammo.. wouldn't you like to occasionally be able to restore your bombs/missiles without having to farm? Then again, that's kinda how the Reserve tank worked in Super Metroid (which honestly I think was only there because the GUI was too small to accommodate 4 more boxes)

I wanna bump this 'cuz I'm thinking about metroidvanias a lot lately...

So I'll posit a bonus question:

Zelda 2 Link's downward thrust is the best thing ever... but it's functionally just jumping on enemies Mario style, so WHY DOES IT WORK!?

Is it just because it's atypical?

The pointy sword with all of Link's weight on top of it may be a factor.
