Super Metroid - Wet Winter takes everything you love about the original and throws it into a frozen blender. Samus still moves like a dream, but now you're blasting through ice caves, dodging snowstorms, and watching your breath fog up the visor. The first time I saw Norfair's lava pits frozen solid, I just stood there staring at the icicles.

It's not just a palette swap—enemies behave differently in the cold, some areas are completely redesigned, and there's this eerie quiet when you enter new zones. That classic Metroid isolation hits harder when you're the only warm thing in miles. Found myself actually shivering during the Maridia section (which is now more "arctic research lab" than "watery hell").

If you've played Super Metroid a dozen times, this mod makes it feel new again. And if you haven't? Well, you're in for one of the best SNES games ever—just bring a jacket.
