* [http://drewseph.zophar.net/ Super Metroid: Redesign] is the largest and most extensive hack. It features new physics, a world roughly twice the size of the original, new events, a few new items and abilities, and some bug fixes. It's considered very hard, and easy to get lost and stuck in, but does not allow the player to get stuck unintentionally. ([http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/131/ RHDN mirror])
There are currently three popular, complete hacks of Super Metroid.
* [http://sukamax.hp.infoseek.co.jp/hackrom.html Metroid Legacy] - Retains most of the feel from the original Super Metroid with basically the same sequence of events, making several changes to room layout and the overall map. It is only slightly more difficult than the original Super Metroid. ([http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/109/ RHDN mirror])
