OB1, don't turn this into a flat out fight. I'm just saying my opinion on how a game should be played here, and a slight at you :D.
Anyway, you still consider just having fun even though you plan on resetting to be cheating? It's a perfectly fine way to enjoy the world. As lazy said, the whole point of a game is to not just experience what they originally wanted to give you, but to push it BEYOND what they wanted. It's not cheating at all to break up the sequence in a Metroid game, in any sense ever. It's just having more fun and enjoying the experience. It makes it more real to think Samus had many ways to complete her journey. Also, it's great fun to just wander through aimlessly for no reason except to explore and enjoy the world, and then just reset it and actually go about a goal, or reset to explore some OTHER way. It's gaming man.

"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)
