That's the great thing about sidescrolling shooters: They've been influenced by Megaman X. Every new addition to the story increases the number of plot holes exponentially.

The other aspects, such as the control of Samus and the weapons, are better refined than they were in Super Metroid. Fusion is also more challenging in both general maneuvering and boss fights. |
