The movement mechanics are faster in Dread, but that doesn’t mean they are better. Super Metroid offered button remapping, a feature that even modern games sometimes fail to provide. Some technical aspects allowed for real creative sequence breaking that is simply unrivalled in nearly every other game in the 2D sidescroller action adventure genre.
Dread also has a pretty severe linearity rivaling Fusion and Other M. Super Metroid still beats Dread. Super Metroid is timeless, nothing about it is dated except for maybe the music being MIDI based. Everything about the game combines into a single cohesive whole that modern games still attempt to emulate, with varying degrees of success.
