Metroid.
I still don't get what the "vania" part of all these supposed Metroidvanias are supposed to be.

>>386910250
Their pretty much 2D "open world" platform games.

The good gameplay mechanics part.

Metroid was a novel idea but not very well executed. The Castlevania franchise perfected it by marrying the idea of non-linear, gated progression with good platforming and combat mechanics.

Castleroid

Metroid has better platforming than Symphony of the Night though. Symphony of the Night had worse platforming than classic Castlevania.

>>386911080
Castlevania took the Metroid formula and popularized it. In that sense, it's had as much of an influence on the genre as Metroid.

Metroid doesn't have better platforming than anything. It controls like shit.

Adventure Platformer; you know, the name the genre was already defined as before millenials ever touched any of the games in the genre
