The map is the same quality you can expect from the later 2D Metroid games, so yes it's good.
Secret of Evermore. Certainly it's better than popular opinion would admit, but the main reason it's so maligned is because it was in fact the "replacement" for SD3, and that carries a lot of resentment...
The DKC games advertised the graphics, but they were good games in their own right as well. Don't pay attention to Gamespy's idiotic "worst games ever" list. Anyone who can say DKC was "overrated" is a liar. :D The sequels didn't innovate though, at least not all that much. That's the main problem. Still, you should get at least one of them.
As for Yoshi's Island, get the GBA version. The SNES version is an awesome game. The GBA version captures it almost perfectly (except for the "touch fuzzy" effect not being fully converted, but that only matters for a few parts of like two levels). Other than that, it is portable and adds 6 new levels that are very fun in their own right. I'd recommend that over the SNES version, but that's just me.
Star Fox original didn't age well in some ways. It's still a fun game, but yeah SF64 outdoes it. If you are going for a collection though, go for it.
In the end though, there's always the Revolution :D.

"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)
