6 years ago It is a a lot, but I appreciate that!
I decided to leave supers (and regular missiles) out, because most likely you will get them in a rando early on. I only included power bombs because its common to not find bombs early. Do you think supers should be included? Relatively easy to add
I am planning to add etanks, but I gotta draw one to keep the visuals consistent. I figured I'd make it 4 in one icon, and let that an alternative to varia for Upper Norfair.
Nice catch on Mission Impossible.
I'll also look over WS.
Again, I appreciate all the feedback!
You've neither got regular nor super missiles. Notably, one can't leave from Landing Site in the direction of Wrecked Ship, or Big Pink to Green Hill Zone without Supers. Neither can one get to Early Supers, Pig Pink, or even Bomb Torizo without at least missiles. (I just ran into that last one this week). Depending on if one's using an original map (Like in Dessy Rando) or an altered map (like in Total/VARIA randos), Missiles are even required for Beta Missiles and Blue Brinstar Etank.
Also, you've got Morph and Bombs as the only items necessary to get Mission Impossible. That location requires both Supers AND Power Bombs.
Red Tower can't be accessed without either Supers (from Noob Bridge room) or Power Bombs (from the top). Kraid's Area can't be opened without Supers, and no boss door can be opened without at least missiles. (Thus, Spazer, Varia, and Kraid Etank can't be accessed with just morph and bombs, which is what I'm currently looking at.)
I'm assuming for now that you're going to ignore any hellruns (with the exception of Ice Beam Location) and making Varia Suit a requirement for heated rooms. In Upper Norfair, one can access the High Jump area items without bombs, but will need to pick them up there in order to escape. (Unless they're playing one of the hacked versions of the rando.)
In Upper Norfair, with the exception of Crumble Shaft location (which needs PBs), Croc Escape item (which can be gotten to from the crumble shaft), Lava Missiles, and Bubble Mountain Missiles, all ther items need some sort of missile to access, with Croc's items requiring a Gate Glitch or Speed and Power Bombs.
Since entering other areas all require power bombs, I'm gonna hold off on that for now. But I did notice that you require bombs to get to Wrecked Ship Etank. While one needs some sort of way to access WS and defeat Phantoon, Bombs are not required for any of that or to physically access WS Etank if you have PBs.
i hope this is helpful and not overkill. There's so much to the logic here.
