That means instead of going through Norfair and Kraid's Lair, you instead are funneled through Maridia and the Wrecked Ship. Like if you get Power Bombs, Grapple Beam, and the Gravity Suit, but no High Jump at all before Kraid (again, ignore the fact that it's not strictly required). What would make for a different experience is if they force you along a completely different route. Yes, it's different you don't know entirely what to expect, but I don't see how they make for a better experience overall. I just don't see how these things improve the actual game. so what? I still have to go fight Kraid, even if it's not exactly when I did before. Let's say you give me the Power Bombs before fighting Kraid at all (again, ignore the fact that you can totally sequence break to get them first). what did that accomplish? It means I don't have to go into Norfair before going to Kraid (ignore the fact that I never really 'had to' go there). Let's say you move the High Jump boots to the place where the Spazer or Charge Beam is. Is there anything in these randomizers that is done to make the game created by them interesting? Not merely 'stuff is in a different place', but done in a way that makes the stuff being where it is actually create interesting pacing and so forth?įor example, take Super Metroid.
