It says it's for unheadered Super Metroid, but it's actually for headered Super Metroid (I even tried it on an Unheadered SM, and it didn't work). Still, this is a challenging hack in my opinion.

Super Mega Easy Metroid by jailsonmendes [

This is a pretty interesting hack. 255 energy, 16 super missiles. 16 power bombs, getting Gravity Suit, Plasma Beam and Space Jump without beating Phantoon or Draygon. It's an interesting hack IMO. Also, the escape sequence is much easier since you get like 10 minutes to escape Zebes while saving the animals. It's a great hack, but not great enough. As good as I initially thought this "hack" was, I think everyone else's comments and ratings show that this hack just isn't worth it.

Any vacation seems nice.

I really enjoyed this hack. It showed that Project Base had the potential to be a good base for future hacks. The idea of Spazer + Plasma was awesome as well. I haven't ran into any bugs which crash the game. Overall, this was a very fun hack.

Tried it, and it just drove me insane, even with Project Base Gameplay applied to it. Just avoid this sad excuse of a hack. It'll drive you insane no matter how "good" the level design is. Same thing with the first one (Chararin 1). Avoid them both. It's the only way to stay sane.

This was RetroKnuckles' first "attempt" at using Project Base 0.6 as a base for this hack. I wish he could've done better with this. :(

Super Metroid Arcade : Endless mode by Lioran, Tewtal [

A very fun hack indeed. :) It's best used for races. Since version 1.02, there's so much you can do in terms of setting up an arcade race of this hack. There needs to be a Super Metroid Arcade race someday.

Oh, and I still recommend playing this on SNES9X. ZSNES may have a simple UI, but when you get used to Snes9X's UI, ZSNES won't be necessary to play awesome Super Metroid hacks like this one.

I agree with MetroidMst. It's just SM: Life all over again. Yes, I did play it, got bored of it. I'll give it 2 out of 5.

I played this once before already. It didn't add anything. All those extra (locked) doors here and there are just for show. I don't recommend it.

This hack makes Metroid Fusion "great" again. It indeed should be used as a base for future Fusion hacks.

It just ends after getting Varia. I cheated, too. Don't recommend this hack. It's trash.

It's as broke as hell, so I deleted it off of my PC. Don't recommend or download. Zero effort hack and it's not Vanilla+. Rather, it's more like Vanilla-.

Can't recall if I played this before, but it was a few years back. Don't recommend it. That way we can preserve our sanity.

Nope. Don't feel like playing this one based on what everyone else said.

Avoid.

Avoid it. Only an insane person would ever play this hack.

Not worth my money.

I'd much rather play Retroid on the SNES.

I almost pulled my hair out finding Varia. So, yeah. Not recommending this hack at all.
Need a NEStroid in Super Metroid fix? Retroid is the way to go.

Another GREAT idea! :) The concept is there, but the execution... Well, your mileage may vary.
