Help Im stuck but the tracker says I should be able to do this check?
If you are stuck and the tracker says you should be able to do a check, try looking at these gotchas
I keep updating this list as more people find things I gloss over from playing the game as much as I have.
Help I'm softlocked
Well that's unfortunate, fortunately we have added a return to start option in the menu that is dual purpose. It allows you to get out of a true softlock, but it also clears all the traps you had queued up so that you don't have to worry about this happening anymore.
What does this version of the randomizer do to AM2R?
You will be playing on a slightly modified version of the New Game Plus map.
Notable changes to the NG+ map include:
- Helper septoggs are conditionally placed in certain spots in the "main caves" area to help with vertical navigation back up to earlier areas. These septoggs will disappear if you have sufficient mobility to get back up without the septogg.
- The entire world is open from the start, except for the Genetics Laboratory so you can in theory go fight omega metroids right away
- The bomb blocks that block the way down to Hydro Station are removed
The randomizer will randomize all items aside from Power Grip Morph Ball and the initial 30 missiles.
If you play while connected to a multitroid server the host can also "Enable SA-X Mode Shortcuts" which can allow you to break some navigational logic, but I'll let you find those on your own.
What do remote items look like?
Items that are not from AM2R will appear as one of 2 sprites depending on if they are a progression item or not
- progression items will appear as colorful AP orbs in a capsule
- non-progression items will appear as a blue-gray orbs without a capsule Any item (not just remote items) with the trap flag enabled will appear as a random sprite from a wide pool depending on the yaml option you pick
Thursday?
The AM2R community has an ongoing joke that AM2R 2.0 will release on Thursday, so there are several Thursday related jokes because of this.
