So, I played Super Metroid randomizer and a link to the past randomizer. I really liked their credits that listed a bit of stats. So here I am, brainstorming a list of potential things that could be tracked for fun.

Kill/Encounter counter:

Spell cast:

Time spent:

This "bug" report should replace #55 as it does more than this one.

Concerning the enemies tracking, if it gets implemented, I believe they should be ordered from weakest to strongest.

You gotta count bonks.

Incredibly, we might be able to keep track of all of these. RAM address 7000+ is totally unused. That's 4096 bytes of SaveRAM we could use that would survive a reset! However, all of this comes down to expanding the ROM...

We converted FF1 from MMC1 to MMC3 to expand it. If DW uses a similar bank swapping pattern, it should be pretty doable.
