Super Metroid MapRando

All credit to the development of Super Metroid MapRando goes to the team and contributors at maprando.com.

Development of "Archipelago Super Metroid MapRando" is built on the foundation of work started by Farrak Kilhn and his Super Metroid Varia Randomizer adaptation to Archipelago.

Current AP MapRando currently runs off of MapRando v120 and has been developed with the intention to receive updates.

Current Build State: Alpha

Current Features

• Server-side MapRando generation for each Super Metroid MapRando player.
• Archipelago item placement on top of the generated MapRando worlds.
• MapRando route requirements translated into Archipelago access rules.
• Support for mixed multiworlds with other Archipelago games.
• MapRando skill-assumption preset override options.
• MapRando preset, start location, map layout, objective, door, item pool, and quality-of-life options exposed on the Player Options page.
• AP item fanfares for both the finding player and receiving player.
• Pause map and HUD item markers for Archipelago items.
• Sphere Tracker support, including spoiler-censored modes and Full Spoilers mode.
• MapRando Item Route Finder when the room is set to Full Spoilers.

Current Limitations

• This world is still alpha and should be treated as actively changing.
• Generation can take longer than most AP worlds because the server runs MapRando first, then Archipelago places items using the translated rules.
• Some option combinations can be too restrictive for Archipelago item placement. If generation fails with a population error, try again or loosen progression restrictions.
• The Item Route Finder is only visible in Full Spoilers rooms because it reads generated spoiler route artifacts.
• The route finder is a helper view over generated spoiler data. It does not run a live in-game solver.

Tracker And Route Tools

The regular tracker pages show the generated multiworld and player tracker views. For Super Metroid MapRando rooms, the Sphere Tracker can show progression spheres from the AP spoiler log. Depending on the room spoiler setting, entries may be censored until found or fully visible from the start.

When Full Spoilers is enabled, the Item Route Finder page lists MapRando-owned AP playthrough locations by sphere. Selecting a location shows the MapRando route to reach that item location, grouped by room, with links to the matching MapRando logic room pages.
