Metroid-ish eh?
That reminds me of The Great Cave Offensive. It was my favorite of the 8 games they made for Kirby Super Star for a reason. It was basically one large circle of a world that was very Metroid like. You used the various powers you had to smash barriers, and had to find secret places, and all that rot. Plus, the collectibles were hidden in all sorts of ingenious ways. It was fun finding things like "Springtime" (which of course is the actual season in material form :D) or the whole freaking Triforce. My second fave was the space one, I forget what that was called, but it was sorta like Megaman because by touching special statues you actually learned the abilities PERMANENTLY and could summon them at will from a Megaman style weapon menu. Actually, Kirby could no longer get most powers by eating monsters, just the special "supers" like Cookerate, or Ultima.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
