A long time ago I made this super metroid hack based on this idea said by a SCU member:
This may be totally out-there and absurd, but I always had a big 'what if' in my mind.
What if, when you blow up the glass tunnel to get into the lower parts of Maridia... you somehow cause all the water to come crashing through the door and down the elevator shaft in the next room, flooding Norfair in the process. Then you'd have Norfair filled with water, and Maridia drained but hot-as-hell from all the steam rushing up out of Norfair. This would probably kill everything in each area. Hell, it would probably ruin Samus' day too, as she'd be sucked into Norfair by an unbelievably crushing torrent of water.
So I said "I'm going to make a hack that does that" and so I did.
So the main thing is maridia is hot, while norfair is flooded. This greatly change the gameplay. You now have to go up and into the WS the way you normally go to maridia. You can't get into WS early the front way (at least as far as I know) as the speed booster is in the flooded norfair.
Keep in mind that there is lava in the tube room. So be sure to fill up energy in red brinstar the first time through.
Also, the way up through maridia is the long tube between the two rooms with falling sand on the way spring ball.
Honestly I don't know the best item routes and such, but it's a nice way to twist things up... enjoy!
And of course, there are screen shots!
Now, I did play through it myself and noticed some color issues, like some rooms in norfair with water looks ugly and some rooms in top maridia are way too bright... so I will most likely change those up later on once I start getting less exams every week! But the game is very playable and quite a bit more challenging for a while compared too the original.

Wow, this sounds cool! Going to play this as soon as I can!
Edit: Played it a little bit and apparently I'm really rusty at this game =o
Palettes took some getting used to but are basically all pretty so no worries.
Tried a little too hard to wall jump up that room in Norfair on the right as you come in. And then of course you have to reset because you can't get out, which feels sloppy.
And then I... died on Kraid?? Yeah I must be really rusty, I guess I'll play through the original two or three times and come back to this  |
