Castlevania - Circle of the Moon

Weighted Options

Weighted options allow you to choose how likely a particular option's value is to be used in game generation. The higher a value is weighted, the more likely the option will be chosen. Think of them like entries in a raffle.

Choose the options you would like to play with! You may generate a single-player game from this page, or download an options file you can use to participate in a MultiWorld.

A list of all games you have generated can be found on the User Content page.

Nerf Roc Wing

Initially nerfs the Roc Wing by removing its ability to jump infinitely and reducing its jump height. You can power it back up to its vanilla behavior by obtaining the following: Double: Allows one jump in midair, using your double jump. Kick Boots: Restores its vanilla jump height. Both: Enables infinite midair jumping. Note that holding A while Roc jumping will cause you to rise slightly higher; this is accounted for in logic.

Item Drop Randomization

Randomizes what enemies drop what items as well as the drop rates for said items. Bosses and candle enemies will be guaranteed to have high-tier items in all of their drop slots, and "easy" enemies (below 61 HP) will only drop low-tier items in all of theirs. All other enemies will drop a low or mid-tier item in their common drop slot, and a low, mid, or high-tier item in their rare drop slot. The common slot item has a 6-10% base chance of appearing, and the rare has a 3-6% chance. If Tiered is chosen, all enemies below 144 (instead of 61) HP will be considered "easy", rare items that land on bosses will be exclusive to them, enemies with 144-369 HP will have a low-tier in its common slot and a mid-tier in its rare slot, and enemies with more than 369 HP will have a mid-tier in its common slot and a high-tier in its rare slot. See the Game Page for more info.
