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.

Randomize the escape sequence

When leaving Tourian, get teleported to the exit of a random Map station (between Brinstar/Maridia/Norfair/Wrecked Ship). You then have to find your way to the ship in the remaining time. Allotted time depends on area layout, but not on skill settings and is pretty generous. During the escape sequence: - All doors are opened - Maridia tube is opened - The Hyper Beam can destroy Bomb , Power Bomb and Super Missile blocks and open blue/green gates from both sides - All mini bosses are defeated - All minor enemies are removed to allow you to move faster and remove lag During regular game only Crateria Map station door can be opened and activating the station will act as if all map stations were activated at once. Animals Challenges: You can use the extra available time to: - find the animals that are hidden behind a (now blue) map station door - go to the vanilla animals door to cycle through the 4 available escapes, and complete as many escapes as you can Pick your challenge, or try to do both, but watch your timer!

Relaxed round robin Crystal Flash

Changes Crystal Flashes behavior and requirements as follows: You can perform a Crystal Flash with any amount of ammo, but you need at least one Power Bomb to begin the process. After consuming 1 ammo, Samus gains 50 energy, and it will try a different ammo type next, cycling through Missiles, Supers, and Power Bombs as available. The cycling is to keep the consumption even between ammo types. If one of your ammo types is at 0, it will be skipped. The Crystal Flash ends when Samus is out of ammo or a total of 30 ammo has been consumed.
