I chose Hard Mode.
Animals saved.

Quick Summary of the meaning of my SM hack ratings:
5 orbs: SM hacks within the 80% to 100% (90% ± 10%) range of perceived perfection; SM hacks for outstanding wholesome playing experiences and at most minor inconveniences.
4 orbs: SM hacks within the 60% to 80% (70% ± 10%) range of perceived perfection; Well done SM hacks with noticeable design problems.
3 orbs: SM hacks within the 40% to 60% (50% ± 10%) range of perceived perfection; Normal decent average SM hacks.
2 orbs: SM hacks within the 20% to 40% (30% ± 10%) range of perceived perfection; Overall messy, confusing, or punishing SM hacks with some upsides.
1 orb : SM hacks within the 00% to 20% (10% ± 10%) range of perceived perfection; Ruthlessly unplayable, broken, or barely from the original game changed SM hacks.

Judgement parameters summary:
° Creative ideas and features, polished design, how enjoyable and fun the hack can be, lack of hard to find or cryptic required game elements, the difficulty, and if the hack can be finished without major guides or tools.
° Note that the length of a SM hack will not necessarily contribute to my rating of the SM hack, since instead the averaged out experience over the whole hack will be taken into account to get a relative comparison between SM hacks.
° Besides this, lack of impactful changes from the original SM game also went into the evaluation of SM hacks (otherwise one may consider them among the 3 stars hacks) as follows: Ultimately, for my ratings I consider a situation in which an SM enthusiast that already has, knows about and is familiar with the original game and its prominent mechanics could only choose 1 new SM hack to play and thus would really want to make sure he/she will get a fresh and fantastic experience or journey out of his/her 1 choice.

The goal of all these SM hack ratings is so that rather new players have an overview of the whole spectrum of SM hacks and how to sort them in, in relation to each other, where SM hacks that are rated lower might still be enjoyable for more experienced players.

Finally, sometimes for SM hacks it can be relevant that they may be significantly more enjoyable from a player standpoint at which the player is well practiced and familiarized with Super Metroid's game mechanics in general, and that in particular some of the best SM hacks may not be the outright best first SM hack choices to play otherwise because of this, and for beginner SM hack players this typically steers the best first SM hack choices towards some of the SM hacks that I rated with 4 orbs instead of 5.

Rating for some hacks may be off by 1 Star, but arguably not more, and ratings are not attempted to be provided within the precision of ''half orbs''.

It was.... 'special' in its own way..

let me ask you this: Do you like drowning in acid filled rooms? Do you like suddenly being burned by lava - then not - then again? Do you like surprises like going into the next room, ambushed by mocktroids? yes? THEN this is the hack for YOU!

... OP is a full fledged maso! If you wannt sum items.. you better jump down that tube of acid first!

This map wasn't as bad as I thought it would be from the other comments. Every room has been tweaked slightly. Some really cool and interesting. Others are "well, the item that is supposed to be here isn't, maybe I should start shooting the walls". The progression was changed a bit. My biggest complaint was many enemies were made way to hard (>2x hp) for no reason.

They skipped several rooms and I kind of wish they skipped more or left them unchanged. Overall this is like 1.5 hours of fun in a 4 hour hack.

Very useful spoiler below that would have probably saved me an hour.

Spoiler below! This is your last warning.

Charge beam was moved to spospo save room. I use save states and rarely use actual saves so I killed botwoon and tried to fight dragon without charge (or plasma). Highly recommend you x-ray them because they have like 4x hp and annoying obstacles in the room. They might have been interesting fights if it weren't for their health.
