Metroidvania is a genre that encompasses a lot more than just Metroid & Castlevania. They’re just the games that started it. A few other examples are Sundered, Ender Lilies, Bloodstained, Monster Sanctuary, and of course, Hollow Knight. Ah, but yes, the Screw Attack is indeed a Metroidvania powerup. You should actually see it in Super Metroid, it’s kind of insane!
