Well I finally played them all a few times.

This was probably my favourate in terms of graphics and gameplay. It's was just something completely different to the usual metroid, and I loved it. The physics were a bit hard to master, but I didn't dislike them.
The permsastuck opportunities were a bad point in this game, but thaty's probably cause I just hate permastucks in all forms (hell, I even hate stucks that aren't permanent but take some time to get out of >.>). I'm giving this one first, cause of the new gameplay, superb graphics, and just general fun-ness =).

This one was also very good. I'm ignoring the fact that Ceres was in the game, as you said it was an accident, and anyone could make that mistake, so let's pretend it wasn't there at all =)
Graphics were again very nice, but the orange palette didn't fit with the graphics at all. The bosses didn't have a lot to do with the game IMO, and were just obstacles to jump over annoyingly.
I loled sooo much when I saw the Kirby holding up the ET in Ridley's room though; that was just hilarious! People said there were four (possibly more?) kirby "villages" in the game, but I only found one at the top right of the LS.
A very nice aesthetic I thought of would've been to put treadmills along the slopes, so when you touched them you slid down them =D

There's several things I had to bring up with this:
1. The graphics were so freakin excellent it was hard not to vote for this one solely for that reason.
2. I liked the fact that you start the game pretty much straight away, that was a nice touch. (to people who were complaining about controls, change the emulator input settings durrr =P).
3. This had pretty much nothing to do with Christmas, so I can't really vote for it =(

Now about the hack, the first few rooms were very pleasing to go through. Some rooms were quite random though. I didn't see any point to the reflecs, though I spent a good 5 minutes trying t figure them out. Other than that it was pretty much an everyday boss rush with excellent GFX.

This is another that slightly disappointed me, but I understand the tight timeframe you probably had. I only saw the thread 2 weeks ago, and end up pulling 5 or 6 all-nighters to get it done.
The Ceres part was unneccessary, but this was not finished, so I guess that's why. I got permastuck in the same place 3 times (yes, don't laugh), then when I figured out how to open the gate, I went through the door and CRASH!!! So I can't really vote on this one either, as it wasn't completable. TBH, if it was that unfinished, I wouldn't have entered it, but no matter =).

I'm not voting for this one either, as it was mine, but there's some things I want to bring up.
The jump for the underwater hat in the snow can be easily made by standing at the very right edge of the floating platform. No run-up needed.
The underwater hat hidden under the icicle can be collected by running INTO the cave without jumping, and just flying down to it (given by the hint)
The hat in the first room was supposed to be collected by running from the room before it, jumping just before hitting the door, then using the height boost to reach the platform.
The hat in the last room was to be collected in a similar way, but with a mid-air morph as well.

The reason the elf was a one hit kill was because getting hurt normally caused the energy numbers to screw up (reason there was no harmful enemies, as your energy would appear to go up). There's actually 199 health there, but because I changed the numbers around, it looks like 100. If you would like to know how I did the ASM for this hack, I'll tell you, but some things I took from Impulsion which I don't want to be released just yet (reason it was locked from SMILE)

Here's a vid =)

It's funny that the people that complain that my hack is too hard are those that did not find my hidden items. :P
