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.

Carrie Logic

Adds the items that drop from the objects that break in three hits to the pool. There are 18 of these throughout the game, adding up to 79 or 80 checks (depending on sub-weapons being shuffled anywhere or not) in total with all stages.

Empty Breakables

Lizard Locker Items

Adds the 6 items inside Castle Center 2F's Lizard-man generators to the pool. Picking up all of these can be a very tedious luck-based process, so they are off by default.

Disable Time Requirements

Skip Waterway Blocks

Big Toss

Makes every non-immobilizing damage source launch you as if you got hit by Behemoth's charge. Press A while tossed to cancel the launch momentum and avoid being thrown off ledges. Hold Z to have all incoming damage be treated as it normally would. Any tricks that might be possible with it are not in logic.

Panther Dash

Hold C-right at any time to sprint way faster. Any tricks that are possible with it are not in logic and any boss fights with boss health meters, if started, are expected to be finished before leaving their arenas if Dracula's Condition is bosses. Jumpless will prevent jumping while moving at the increased speed to make logic harder to break with it.
