Thanks for all the feedback guys!
However, this does spark something in me: Do you guys think having some way to mark up the map would be useful? The map system I have is very minimalistic, and I'd be willing to expand it if it seemed like a good idea.

What if instead of just differently colored doors, you really mix things up and have a barrier of a certain color in front of the door instead. When Samus switches to the right weapon (or simply possesses it in terms of things like the Morph Bomb) a small beacon on the barrier projector lights up, as though the door's computer realized there was a security risk nearby. Then, as you hit it, the beacon's blinking speed increases until it looks positively frantic, then finally breaks down when it can't take any more hits. After that, the door is permanently unlocked.Chris2Balls pointed out that the hologram seems kinda sketchy on the low resolution I have the game run with. However, nothing's finished until the game is finalized, and even then I can still have updates. With that said, I'll definately take your idea into consideration, maybe I'll figure out some way to integrate it, as it seems very cool but not a dead "do this here" giveaway.
How's that sound?
