There is a bug in Super Metroid with the eye doors: they fail to properly delete their projectiles upon defeat and so if you hang around after defeating them, the game could crash.
I was trying to find an article I read on this, and Google’s enshittified AI happily told me that the “Super Metroid eye door bug” refers to the bug that allows you to open certain doors by shooting missiles at the eye, and you can exploit this bug to enter Phantoon’s chamber.
