Room theming

This setting controls the palettes for rooms (affecting foregrounds and backgrounds): - Vanilla: Rooms use the palette from the original game. - AreaPalettes: Rooms use a palette based on the area in which they appear in the randomized map. This adds variety and can help the randomized areas to feel more coherent. - AreaTiling: Rooms graphics are redrawn to follow a consistent theme for each area. This provides the highest level of variety and cohesiveness in room appearance.

Door colors

This setting controls the color of ammo doors, the ones unlocked by Missiles, Supers, and Power Bombs. - Vanilla: Doors have the colors that they do in the vanilla game. - Alternate: Different door colors are used, which may be easier to distinguish for color-blind players. This is based on a color scheme by Vibrant Colors.

Door colors

This setting can be used to disable game music, while still playing sound effects. The same music tracks will load (though not play), in order to keep room load timings consistent. MSU-1 support is built into the randomizer; on applicable platforms this can be used to customize the music, still with no effect on room load timings.

Screen shaking

This setting affects the graphical appearance of screen flashing, including lightning, escape sequence effects, boss damage, and the initial flash of Power Bomb explosions. - Vanilla: Screen flashing happens as in the vanilla game. - Reduced: Most large, sudden flashes are reduced to have a milder change in brightness, while still being noticeable. Caution is recommended for those with serious sensitivities to such effects, as the effectiveness of these changes is not guaranteed and may vary by individual. The full-screen flashing after Mother Brain phase 1 is an exception, being always removed regardless of which option is selected.

Tile theme

This setting controls how the rooms in the game will be drawn. This affects only the graphical appearance of the rooms. - If None is selected, then rooms are tiled as they are in the vanilla game. - If Area_Themed is selceted, then rooms are tiled according to their area on the map. - If Scrambled is selected, then each room is tiled using a random theme. - If an individual theme is selected (e.g. Outer Crateria), then all the rooms are tiled using that theme. - If Practice Outlines is selected, then rooms are tiled using green outlines to mark the room collision; special blocks are shown in their true form; and a background grid helps with measuring positions and distances. - If Invisible is selected, then rooms are tiled using blank, transparent foreground, making the game difficult to navigate. Doors will still be visible, as will vanilla backgrounds and sprites.

Map Rando Options

Map Rando Settings as defined by maprando.com. If you dont need to change deeper settings, you can either: - use the lighter minimal version (see the default) - add a "name" field at the topmost level, beside "version", and name it as one of the existing Map Rando builtin complete Settings Preset (ie, "Community Race Season 3 (Save the animals)") Otherwise, you can use your preferred Map Rando Settings Presets on maprando.com, export its JSON and directly embed it under here like so: map_rando_options: { "version": 118, "name": my_custom_preset, ... } In all cases, using one of the existing "preset" name (ie, "Basic") of a settings category (ie, "skill_assumption_settings") will make the randomizer ignore all its children settings and use corresponding existing preset from Map Rando. If "random_seed" is null, the seed from this world will be used instead of a random one to keep determinism in AP.
This option needs to be configured manually in the YAML file.
