Luigi's Mansion
Where is the settings page?
The player settings page for this game contains all the options you need to configure and export a config file.
What does randomization do to this game?
When it comes to Luigi's Mansion, randomization changes the locations of Mario's Items, door keys and element medallions, as well as all the treasures that are found in chests. This primarily changes the route the player must take through the game.
The Randomizer allows you to set different goals and modify the game in several other ways (see below).
What items and locations get shuffled?
Door Keys, Mario's items, and the element medallions are shuffled. These are found in the chests in various rooms in the mansion, as well as a few specific objects that normally contain those items. There are options for Boos, Portrait Ghosts, Talking to Toads, Plants, Gold Mice, Blue Ghosts (Speedy Spirits), and almost every interactable object in the game. You can even turn on visiting rooms and turning lights on for each room into locations.
Which items can be in another player's world?
Keys, Mario's Items, and Element Medals can be found in other worlds, along with money, hearts, and a variety of traps.
What does another world's item look like in Luigi's Mansion?
Items belonging to other worlds are represented by an AP icon (WIP) and are called AP items.
When the player receives an item, what happens?
Items received in Luigi's Mansion will display a text overlay that does not interrupt gameplay..

For example, requesting 50000 energy will send Luigi two Bills (20,000 each) and two Coins (5000 each), for a total worth of 50,000.
Commands are:
/send_energy <amount>
- Sends energy to the Archipelago server to be consumed by any player on the team./request_energy <amount>
- Requests energy from the Archipelago server, reducing the available amount up to the requested value./display_energy
- Displays the current energy available to your team/energy_link
- Toggles Energy Link settings for the player's existing session.
