The twin doors are somewhat interesting but I feel as if they're used to force the player to run around a lot more than they should. I distinctly remember a point where one twin gate was guarding another twin gate.
Areas are kinda cool, I got lost quite a few times.
Oh, and it.. just kinda ends.

Forgive the self-plug, but a complete playthrough (albeit with savestate use and a bunch of idle times) can be seen through the following vids:

It's very blue.

That aside, this is one of my personal favorites. It's got a bunch of neat things such as manually controlling shinesparks, a hub area, bonuses for saving the animals early and more.

Full playthrough below, but there was tools used.

Yes.

A few more words, fine. This hack has the 2nd best Tourian of any hack (the first best belonging to Z-Factor).
The only thing that I feel the game did wrong.. was the morphing sound. I think all that BANGing eventually gave me a headache...

Legacy by Banana Oyaji [

While it's not the best overall in quality.. Legacy is still something I'd highly recommend to anyone who wants to play Super Metroid hacks. It's perfect for newer players.

Phazon Hack by A_red_monk_called_Key [

No completion stats.

It's a complete graphical overhaul and uses areas that aren't the standard Super Metroid ones, which is already a huge bonus in my book.

Oh, this hack!
This is the hack that I finally got the timing for mockballing down in. Seems the name of the hack is a fitting one~

It does some neat things but I can't remember all of them, I do remember having a good time though!

It was pretty neat. Dman's visual design is top notch as always.
I ended up beating Kraid with no e-tanks because I just simply didn't find any before him though which was pretty goofy. Not a bad thing though!

I also really appreciate the final area not being combat-focused and instead being focused on a narrative, it's a nice change of pace after the endless Tourians of other hacks.

Metroid: Spooky Mission by Magconst [ MZM

It was pretty sweet. I missed Boss Repellent before Ridley and Good Suit before Kraid so I kind of made things difficult on myself but it was still a pretty awesome time. Can't wait for Spooky Mission 2.

The only complaints I have:
- It's somewhat difficult to see through beer
- Music audio is kinda balanced weird in some bits
