Weighted Options

Weighted options allow you to choose how likely a particular option's value is to be used in game generation. The higher a value is weighted, the more likely the option will be chosen. Think of them like entries in a raffle.

Choose the options you would like to play with! You may generate a single-player game from this page, or download an options file you can use to participate in a MultiWorld.

A list of all games you have generated can be found on the User Content page.

Score Checks

Base number of score checks. Each check requires one more point than the last, so this scales quite fast! This is increased by other options, so the actual number of score checks will often be higher. Solo worlds will fail to generate if this is set too low. 60 is a good starting point!
