Randovania

Welcome to Randovania, a randomizer for Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

Here you will be able to randomize many aspects of either game, while still being ensured it's possible to finish without any trick or glitch! What can be randomized?

• Randomize what can be found in each pickup location, including major upgrades, expansions, keys and artifacts.

• Play with multiple people, via multiworld sessions. Your pickups will be shuffled among the games of everyone involved, no matter what game they're playing!

• Randomize where each teleporter goes, or what you need to unlock a translator gate. In either case, there's advanced options for how they're shuffled.

• The location you start the game in as well as the items you start with. If you're feeling brave, you can even shuffle items you normally start with, like the Power Beam and Scan Visor.

So have fun and start randomizing.
