They require thorough knowledge of the game they are based on, sometimes to the extent of requiring professional speedrunning stats to progress. Some randomizers are serious challenges while others are just absurd. There are even randomizers for games like Mega Man X which randomize your jump height and bullet damage. For RPGs like Final Fantasy IV, they randomize party members and items. For action-adventure games like The Legend of Zelda, they randomize item locations. They take aspects of certain games and randomize them. Yes, this conversation was absurd, but it’s pretty common when playing randomizers, which have absolutely blown up in the speedrunning and ROM hacking communities in the last few years. “You have the blue mail, Master Sword, red boomerang, quake spell, fire rod, and all these other things and we are gate blocked by a lamp?” “Isn’t there anything you can do without the lamp?” “Can you take over? I already have Gravity Suit and Space Jump, you should be able to find something.” He’s a bit of a Zelda expert and I’m a bit of a Metroid expert to put together we are one competent player. We’ve been playing the recently released Super Metroid + Link to the Past Randomizer. I turn to my friend on the couch next to me. I proceed past him to pick up my power-up and… I’m blasting my way through Super Metroid, having just taken down Crocomire.
