< h2 > 2. Installing Snes9x - rr </ h2 >

< h2 > 3. Connecting to the Multiworld </ h2 >
< p > From here , you have an emulator and a program to expose that emulator to the internet . Now we connect it to the multiworld randomizer engine so you can join the game .</ p >
< ol >
< li > Ask somebody for the link to the party at < a href = " https://samus.link " > samus . link </ a ></ li >
< li > Visit the link in your browser </ li >
< li > Hit the " Connect " button next to your name </ li >
< li > Upload your totally legitimately obtained Super Metroid and ALttP ROMs ( the randomizer is very picky about which ones you upload ; ask around for the right ones if you don ' t have them ) </ li >
< li > Pick your favorite sprites and colors and energy beep frequency </ li >
< li > Download and play the ROM in snes9x </ li >

< h2 > 4. Playing the Game </ h2 >
< p > There are a number of resources available to help you in managing the sheer amount of information that you ' ll need to keep track of during the randomizer . Make good use of these :</ p >
< ul >
< li >< a href = " http://smalttpr.mymm1.com/tracker/ " > ALttP Item Tracker </ a > - Plug in what items you have and it 'll tell you where you can go. Accounts for crossing through Super Metroid to get to somewhere you normally couldn' t </ li >
< li >< a href = " https://wiki.supermetroid.run/List_of_rooms " > List of Rooms in Super Metroid </ a > - The game is huge , so naming each room helps keep track of where you are . You can also see full screenshots of each room </ li >
</ ul >
< p > Also some tips :</ p >
< ul >
< li > There are several points at which you can softlock in Super Metroid . Save early , save often , and know when to reset </ li >
< li > You start with a full map in Super Metroid detailing every item 's location. It' s very helpful </ li >

< li > There are many ways to skin a cat , some of them more or less painful than others </ li >

< li > Kakariko Village is incredibly lucrative early on ; there are 10 - 15 items in that area you can acquire with literally no items </ li >
< li > Getting to the Dark World is a huge priority ; you need the Moon Pearl and either a Hammer or a Glove to get there </ li >
2021-05-07 00:32:06 -05:00
< li > Certain trees can be pulled in ALttP to yield pickups . The pickups that drop are random for each player </ li >

< li > Just because you CAN get somewhere doesn ' t mean there will be anything helpful there . Glitches yield sequence breaks , not progression </ li >
2021-05-07 00:32:06 -05:00
< li > Having a trusted third party available to check the spoiler log might not be a bad idea </ li >
< li > Sometimes your progression can be in somebody else 's world. If you know there' s nothing for you to do , there ' s no shame in going and getting some Burger King while you wait </ li >
