Overview

The randomizer takes items from the game and places them in random locations. Logic is used to ensure all items are obtainable.

Randomizer utilizes a mod that turns the Garden of Assemblage into a “world hub” where each portal takes you to one of the game worlds (as opposed to having a world map). This allows you to enter worlds at any time, and world progression is maintained for each world individually.

Notable Randomizer Changes

Some of these are specific changes made for randomizer, others are just things that can only happen in randomizer due to having tools you weren’t otherwise meant to have in certain parts of the game.

General

Save Warping

Because there is no world map from which to choose a spawn point, the player is placed at an appropriate save point when (re-)entering a world based on story progression. This can be exploited in a few places in randomizer to save some time by leaving a world and re-entering to be “warped” to the next location. The warps that can save time include but are not limited to:

The World That Never Was

Land of Dragons

Halloween Town

Agrabah

Olympus Coliseum

Pride Lands

Hollow Bastion / Radiant Garden

Disney Castle

Space Paranoids

100 Acre Wood

Simulated Twilight Town (STT)

Win Conditions

The community has come up with several common variations on how to “win” the game. Several common ones are outlined here.

Beat Final Xemnas

(also called Any% or 3 Proofs)

The only real goal is to defeat Final Xemnas (the normal final boss of the game) at the end of The World That Never Was. However, the door to the final battles remains locked until the 3 Proof items (Proof of Connection, Proof of Nonexistence, and Proof of Peace) are obtained.

While the 3 Proofs are the only required items, players usually need to spend some time finding other battle tools and/or gaining enough levels to feel comfortable fighting through to Final Xemnas.

This mode can generally be played with any of the common hint systems (or no hints at all, if desired).

If the Promise Charm item is enabled for the seed, once all 3 Proofs and the Promise Charm are obtained, the computer at the center of the Garden of Assemblage opens a path to skip over The World That Never Was and go straight to the final fight gauntlet. This path also contains several Bulky Vendor enemies that give large amounts of experience points for a way to gain levels quickly.

All Blue Numbers (ABN)

(also sometimes called All Important Checks or AIC)

The goal is to obtain all items designated as Important Checks for the seed.

Some variations of ABN/AIC consider the game won immediately once the final Important Check is found and shown on the tracker. Other variations also require Final Xemnas to be defeated after all Important Checks are found.

Hitlist

The player is given a certain number of objectives to fulfill (usually defeating either certain story bosses or superbosses). The goal is to fulfill all or a subset of these objectives.

Bingo

The player is given a Bingo board using an external website and must complete several tasks to fill in squares on the board, either to make one or more lines of Bingo, or to fill in all squares on the board (known as Blackout Bingo).

Timed Points

The goal is to earn as many points as possible within a designated time limit. Points are earned by obtaining items in the game as well as accomplishing certain tasks in the game (such as defeating bosses).

This mode is often used with random boss/enemy placement.

Known Issues

Some of these issues exist in the base game, while others are specific to the randomizer.

Halloween Town

Twilight Town

Hollow Bastion / Radiant Garden

Port Royal

Simulated Twilight Town (STT)

Note that as of release 2.1, the randomizer seed generator has a “Roxas Magic/Movement/Trinity” option that, when enabled, ports Sora’s animations to Roxas, eliminating these T-poses/softlocks.
