They're running this on REAL hardware.- Harris 'Guest Name' Foster June 29, 2019īecause the ROM layout of the original games does not overlap, the randomizer app is able to merge them together smoothly and share items across worlds. How this is possible, well, I’ll leave it to Harris Foster, the community manager for Finji (the studio started in 2014 by Rebekah Saltsman and her husband Adam, the creator of Canabalt).Īpparently both of these games share similar blank memory slots, which can lead to them being combined and sharing item unlocks between the two worlds. But in lay speak, four predetermined doors in both games will transport players from one world to the next. Heavy caveat here, as I am not a modder, much less a programmer. This randomizer builds off work done by the communities behind the A Link to the Past Randomizer and the Tournament Super Metroid Randomizer. This is courtesy of the samus.link crossover item randomizer, The game is generated when players take ROMs for both titles and plug them into the web application, which spits out a new ROM for play. These two are playing the same game cooperatively, with the goal of killing both Ganon and Mother Brain before finishing the story of either original game.Īnd if you still can’t understand what’s going on, try playing it for yourself, assuming you have ROMs for both games. But yes, that’s Samus and Link carrying around objects from one game in the other’s world.

Just watch and try to follow along the commentary from Andy and Ivan.

If all that puzzles you, well, you’re not the only one.
