The legacy versions of Space Jump and Screw attack gave you infinite flight and power. Instakill any enemy, invincibility, unlimited jumps, no ifs or buts. Fusion and Super were the last games to have these. Every game since has watered them down in some way for some reason or another. Space Jump only gets one extra jump of height, only jumps 5 times, or can't gain height at all. Screw Attack doesn't make you invincible, doesn't oneshot certain enemies, doesn't protect you from projectiles, etc. They're an important part of the series' legacy, and represent "confident" game design where you can make a game that doesn't break if you put something too strong in it. It's cowardly to nerf them. "Oh no they'd be WAY too strong, you can't put something like THAT in a game like this!" Bah.
