Another Metroid 2 Remake

The Randovania implementation provides additional robustness and more features compared to the built-in randomizer.

Key features supported by Randovania include, but are not limited to, full item logic, toggleable tricks and difficulties, Door Lock Rando, and Multiworld support.

All Metroids now also drop items. This can include progression, expansions, or DNA. DNA are like keys and are used to enter the path to the Queen. The amount of DNA is configurable and a hint system has been implemented, which means it’s not necessary anymore to fight all the Metroids.

Only version 1.5.5 is supported. Currently there are no plans to support other versions.

You likely have the ‘Required Mains’ option enabled. This means you first need to find the Launcher for your Missiles / Super Missiles / Power Bombs before you can use them.

Both were chosen to provide better gameplay and more variety. Killing the same 46 Metroids over and over again is not only tedious, but also boring. The Metroids dropping items makes Metroid fights interesting and worthwhile to do as opposed to most players otherwise just ignoring them entirely, while also not making it mandatory to kill all Metroids.
Required mains / launchers causes progression to be more natural, as otherwise it’s possible to break the logic chain and get overpowered by just finding ammo early.

You can use the ‘Restart from Start Location’ option, which will reload your last save but make you spawn at the original start location.

Serris will spawn once you collect the item in Distribution Center - Ice Beam Chamber and then hit the fight trigger on the left side of the Serris Arena.

Yes, Serris automatically changes her weakness to not require Ice Beam if you fight her before acquiring it.

There are eight hints in total, and the map will show an ‘H’ icon on places where hints exist. They can can be found in:

• Main Caves - Research Site Elevator
  
• Golden Temple - Breeding Grounds Hub
  
• Hydro Station - Breeding Grounds Lobby
  
• Industrial Complex - Breeding Grounds Fly Stadium
  
• The Tower - Tower Exterior North
  
• Distribution Center - Distribution Facility Tower East
  
• The Depths - Bubble Lair Shinespark Cave
  
• Genetics Laboratory - Destroyed Chozo Memorial

Some items have a 1 in 1024 chance of being a Pokémon-style shiny: they look different but behave entirely the same as normal. In a multiworld game, only your own items can be shiny.
