Majoras Mask Randomizer

admin

Majoras Mask Mods (3) Central Ocarina. There are currently only 3 mods of Majoras Mask mods but this will likely expand over the next decade. I sure hope it does because the randomizer is a blast! This only works on Majora's Mask NTSC-U 1.0. (and probably most hacks based on this version) Item Randomizer I wonder how you will fare against the horror that is the random number generator For playing Beta Quest on the current Item Randomizer. (by DeathBasket v1.2) Spoiler Log.

Hello, I'm Doctor Kill, AKA Doctor Thrill: Like a Roller Coaster™, and I'm going to show you how to play Majora's Mask Super Wrong.
What is Majora's Mask?
Majora's Mask (MM) is a web 2.0 media experience that relies on collaborative social media experimentation to communicate insightful and meaningful messages through the simplistic, childish medium of action adventure video games.
Pretty sure Majora's Mask has been LP'd before
Yeah but they haven't dones it the way I does it.
You've got me hooked pal, tell me more about this Let Us Play
The point of this LP is to play Majora's Mask all messed up. If you watched my Ocarina of Time LP (found here), then the general concept should be familiar, but basically I want to show off the glitches of this game and how you can use them to still accomplish the many goals this game has.
To that extent I made a few vague and arbitrary rules to help me outline what I can show off, while still keeping it somewhat focused so I don't have to show off literally every little thing in the game:

1. I will be collecting all masks and items, but not necessarily item upgrades.
2. I will try to use as many glitches as I can to get those things, as long as it isn't too tedious or boring to do.
3. I will not be collecting all heart pieces
4. I will complete all the main dungeons, but not necessarily the side dungeons.
5. I will be 'finishing' dungeons in reverse order, by which I mean collecting the map, compass, dungeon item, and fairies, then getting to the boss room. But for various reasons I won't always beat the boss at that point.
6. I will not be using the deku, goron, or zora forms in their respective dungeons, with 3 specific exceptions (none of the exceptions are the bosses).
Anything else?
Knowing the general progression of the game and its sidequests will probably help in understanding why the glitches I do are significant. However, as glitches happen, I'll do my best to explain how they work as well as what is 'normally' supposed to happen or what is being skipped, to help people who aren't as familiar with the game.
And just to clarify, everything shown off in these videos will be me directly playing the game, with no cheats activated or anything like that. You should be able to replicate any of it on any console version, though I play on Virtual Console for speed and ease.
And if you want to learn more about Majora's Mask glitches, be sure to check out ZeldaSpeedRuns, that's where I learned a lot of what I'm going to show off!
Spoiler Policy
This is LP is focused on glitches, not story. A lot of people really enjoy the MM story / narrative, but more than likely there won't be any focus on it. As such, I don't care about any spoilers, spoilers are allowed, especially because I'll be doing so many things out of order anyway.
In fact, not only are they allowed, they are mandatory. Every post must have a spoiler, from any work of fiction. Make sure you tell me who dies in book 5 of game of thrones before you contribute anything to the thread. If you don't you will be probated, banned, then fired out of a cannon.

What is this thing that you are doing?
Majora's Mask Randomizer is a mod / romhack made by a person named DeathBasket that randomizes the location of all inventory items in the game. Masks, weapons, trade items, and upgrades are all shuffled around, with a few exceptions to prevent an unwinnable state, and only among themselves, so things like heart pieces and rupees aren't affected. Bottled items are also randomized among themselves, since mechanically you can't switch those with a non bottle item, but it does mean that catching, say, a fish could give you something like Chateau Romani.
This is meant as a companion LP to the Majora's Mask Super Wrong LP, so I would suggest watching that before watching these, if only because I refer to the 'main LP' an awful lot and because that's where I explained all the cool tricks I'll be doing.
Why are you doing this thing?Zoey
Because it'll be fun!
What's the end goal here?
I'm aiming to again collect all masks and inventory items, but also all inventory upgrades as well, though in rare cases items can be unobtainable. I still wont get all heart pieces, but I may get a few if they're interesting. Of course I'll also beat the game.
There will obviously be some retreading on stuff I did in the main LP but the randomness should keep things interesting. And unlike my previous LPs, me and my commentators will commentate as I play, live! This means I will route on the fly, often with disastrous consequences, while my talking buddies berate me for actually being very bad at this video game and hiding it for so long. Fun stuff!
Suspicious Dish will be joining me for the entire LP, and we'll have a different third commentator every few episodes.

Final: Majora the Major A-Hole

Majora’s Mask Redux is a hack that aims to improve the original experience of Majora’s Mask by adding some QoL improvements by applying the ASM patches provided by the Majora’s Mask Randomizer project by Saneki and its contributors.

Documentation for the majority of the features can be seen here:

Main Features:

  • D-PAD can now be used to access all three transformation masks and the ocarina, allowing a total of seven items to be accessible at all times. Note that this means that the map is no longer possible to toggle off. NB: In the download there are included two patches: both provide the exact same changes except for the position of the D-PAD HUD (left or right on the screen).
  • When using the bow, magic arrows can be cycled in a similar fashion to wind waker’s magic arrows by setting one and pressing the “R” button.
  • Ocarina can now be used underwater as Zora Link.
  • Increased block pushing speed.
  • Increased Mikau pushing speed to shore.
  • Correct Purple and Gold rupee colors.
  • Permanent Razor Sword.
  • 4th Piece of Heart Sound Effect fix by ozidual (Fix Publicly available: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/zelda64/mm-piece-of-heart-sequence-numbers-t969.html?sid=be5374d9252ef4f5c14b2678f97f5b30#p10168 )
  • - Mushroom Bottle Get Item fix by fkualol (Fix Publicly available: https://wiki.cloudmodding.com/mm/Talk:Ovl_player_actor/Get_Items )
  • Restored Title Screen colors to match that of the Japanese title screen (ZELDA in purple, THE LEGEND OF & MAJORA’S MASK in a yellow-ish color)
  • Text script revisions and restorations from other MM versions (including Japanese v1.0, PAL and even from Majora’s Mask 3D)
  • Retranslations for the Great Bay Turtle, Lulu’s Diary and Deku Butler’s texts, localized based on the Japanese release.
  • Missing or misplaced Sound Effects that play alongside the script have been properly restored
  • Unused Area titles missing in MM (U) v1.0 from MM (J) v1.0 have been restored, and well as new ones added back based on Majora’s Mask 3D.
  • Uncensored Skull Kid face and beak ported from MM (J) v1.0.
  • Cleansed Southern Swamp map object fixes ported from the Poisoned Swamp map data from MM (U) v1.0.
  • Restored the Deku Palace grottos route, ported from MM (J) v1.0.
  • Move the Bomber Kid when doing the Hide & Seek to be next to the bell in East Clock Town, ported from MM (J) v1.0.
  • Zora Physics ported over from MM (J) v1.0
  • Fix the Goht cutscene so he doesn’t run over Link, ported from MM (J) v1.1.
  • Restore the Shop Music to have its full intro, like in MM (J) v1.0.
  • Custom Troupe Leader’s Mask item name graphics (and text).
  • Custom Romani Ranch fixed sign.
  • Comma graphic fix ported from MM PAL.
  • Ikana Canyon’s Fairy Fountain color fix by Dybbles.
  • All vanilla elements (cutscenes, introduction and first cycle, rewards) are retained.

TODO:

  • (WIP - Missing code for switching) Custom Ocarina icons for other instruments when Link changes forms (Like in Majora’s Mask 3D).

Majora's Mask Randomizer

New instruments overwrite unused items, which can be loaded for testing via cheat codes. The C-Button icons, item descriptions, item names and subscreen icons are all in place, all that’s needed is the code to make them switch properly when Link changes form: Slingshot ($0B) for Deku Pipes, Blue Fire ($1C) for Goron Drums, and Hylian Loach ($26) for Zora Guitar. Deku Pipes are completely new, Goron Drums and Zora Guitar are ported over from unused assets from MM (J) v1.0.

Current on-going thread about the Ocarina Icons: https://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=31054.0

What if you want to have the censored Skull Kid wooden face from the US release? Or maybe you like the original Deku Palace route instead of the Japanese one?

That and MUCH more can easily be changed, thanks to an amazing software called Patcher64+ Tool, which allows you to toggle whatever feature you want on or off according to your liking, so you can create your own custom Majora’s Mask Redux ROM! You can download the software here if you want to customize your own ROM patch:

The tool depends on a computer with PowerShell support. Windows 10 is recommended, but other OS that can install PowerShell could also be used.
