Either Rocket Knight Adventures(Genesis) or the sequel Sparkster(SNES/Genesis). I don’t remember there being a large graphical difference, so it could be either one without seeing more of the screen.

So am I the only one who was annoyed that they included Metroid despite the fact that you travel in all directions in that game?
