How the randomizer works:

  • You begin the game as normal in Traverse Town on Floor 1.
  • You start with a Key of Beginnings, Key of Guidance, and Key to Truth for Floor 1, as well as infinite (non-gold) map cards of each type and value.
  • Collecting battle cards in the overworld WILL NOT ADD THEM TO YOUR INVENTORY.
  • In GBA COM, story and card journal entries are checks
  • In RECOM, opening Room of Beginnings, Room of Guidance, and Room of Truth on each floor as well as card journal entries are checks.
  • In RECOM, you must fight the between-floor bosses in order. They will not appear otherwise.
  • You are allowed to warp to any floor at the start.
  • Floors which you don't have unlocked are simply assigned Traverse Town.
  • If card packs are on (GBA ONLY), some locations hold card packs, which are the only way to obtain battle cards. These card packs come in three varieties: bronze, silver, and gold
  • If card sets are on, some locations locations hold sets of specific cards (Kingdom Key 4-6 for example). These are the only way to obtain battle cards.
  • Friend cards (Aladdin, Ariel, Beast, Donald, Goofy, Jack, Peter Pan) are randomly placed at checks. When you have found all 7, you win. In RECOM, these cards are tracked in your journal instead of your inventory.

(RECOM) All of my cards are missing!

RECOM works by parsing the items from the client in real time, you must have the client open and connected to progress. As soon as you reconnect, you'll see your items again and won't have lost any progress.
