Good hack. This feels kind of like a boss rush, but a lot of neat stuff in between. A few puzzles and some really good room design. Didn't feel stale which is unusual!
Finished.
Recommend.

No animals to be 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''.

No completion stats.

Made it to Ridley & apparently missed charge, plasma & more than half the E tanks... Didn't have enough ammo to take him out & didn't feel like hunting.

Cool hack, though. Fun puzzles. Map was entirely broken, not that it was necessary. Some scrolling issues in wrecked ship, but nothing major.

Second favorite Leodox hack after Chester's goggles. Reminded me of an updated puzzly version of 'Battle.' Keep hackin' Leo

I did it, I finally did it. I found a mod worse than super metroid escape. This world is pure unadulterated jank, it barely even qualifies as an exploration/metroidvania type mod. The cherry on the cake is that the map doesn't even work.

Not as bad as you think, but at the same time not actually worth most people's time. If you think it is, it would be helpful for you to know that it is VERY, VERY EASY to miss any and all beams but Ice and I ended up restarting my game to collect them (thanks to Aran;Jaeger's helpful video) because it is VERY, VERY DIFFICULT to exit Lower Norfair after performing the elevator shinespark. Technical knowledge of Samus' movement is required to traverse this hack, some expansions require the use of short charges. Overall the reason I'm not giving this one star is because it's not a challenge hack, very beatable with the equipment you can (and should) find and was an interesting test of my Super Metroid knowledge and abilities.
