### Metroid: Samus Returns

- Fixed: Some situations where the generator thinks pathing via certain doors is not possible with randomized doors.

### Metroid Prime

- Fixed: Less vulnerable to "Alloc Failed" and frame-perfect cutscene skip crashes.
- Fixed: In some minimal inventory starts, players could use Power Beam and Scan Visor out of logic and experience other unintuitive behavior.

- Added: Rainbow Ball cosmetic option.
- Changed: Organized cosmetic options into collapsible sections, suit customization now features preview images and Fusion Suit color preferences are now saved independently from non-Fusion.

- Changed: Games which start without Combat, Thermal and X-Ray Visor now require one of the three to target enemies or combat dash. All fight logic adjusted to require one Combat trick level higher when enemies are not able to be targeted.
- Changed: The use of the arm cannon is no longer dependent on acquiring Combat, Thermal or X-Ray Visor.
- Removed: All "No Gravity Suit" and "Enabled Allow Dangerous Gravity Suit Logic" requirements. These are no longer necessary due to the player's ability to unequip Gravity Suit. A FAQ entry has been added to assist with player education.

- **Major** - Added: Multiworld worlds can now be abandoned; abandoning a world is irreversible. An abandoned world can be played automatically by your own Randovania instance like a bot, via a dedicated game connection: it collects one location that is in logic for it every few seconds, and keeps doing so as it receives more items from other players.

### Metroid Dread

- Changed: The icon for the Super Missile in the automatic item tracker has been made lighter in color so that it matches the other icons better.

#### Logic Database

##### Burenia

- Changed: Merged event nodes for breaking the floor in Gravity Suit Tower, decluttering the room and helping the generator see when it is safe to complete the sequence.
- Changed: Added connection back to the Early Gravity Blob in the Gravity Suit Tower to help the generator see when it is safe to complete the breakable floor sequence.
- Changed: The dangerous logic surrounding the water underneath Drogyga in terms of getting up the left ledge and across to the right ledge is now waived. Logically by construction, if the water is there then Drogyga has been defeated, which requires Grapple Beam, which is a solution to the connections that are changed.

##### Cataris

- Fixed: The door into the Central Unit is changed from Access Open to EMMI Door.

##### Dairon

- Fixed: The door into the Central Unit is changed from Access Open to EMMI Door.
- Fixed: Destroying the Hidden Blob in Freezer was available as a dangerous action with neither Gravity Suit or Highly Dangerous Logic.

##### Ferenia

- Changed: In Sector 5 - Training Grounds, lowered the Speed Booster runway by one tile to make it easier to shinespark through the door.

#### Logic Database

##### Main Deck

- Changed: Dark Stairwell: Using the hidden connection to/from Central Nexus can now expect Mid-Air Morphs instead of Bombs/Hi-Jump.

##### Sector 1 (SRX)

- Added: Atmospheric Stabilizer Northwest: Shinespark chain starting from Moto Motorway, recharging in Atmospheric Stabilizer Northeast, using any combination of either Wide, Plasma, or Wave Beam to clear Hornoad Hole and run off ledge in time to spark into the left slope, to ultimately spark into the stabilizer geron. Intermediate Knowledge, Intermediate or Advanced Combat, and Ludicrous Shinespark. Potential softlock after the hard parts are done.
- Added: Yameba Corridor: As above, but chaining sparks one room further, and including Charge Beam option. This trick must account for Hornoad Hole's room state after all stabilizers are restored: dodging the aerial enemy requires moving further left, necessitating tighter movement in Twin Junctions West, but no risk of softlock. Intermediate Knowledge, Advanced Combat, and Ludicrous Shinespark.

##### Sector 3 (PYR)

- Added: In Dairon - West Transport to Ferenia, use Wave Beam to push the Wide Beam Block from above, without Wide Beam.
- Added: Logic to handle having Ice Missiles without Super Missile.
- Added: In Ghavoran - Teleport to Burenia, Cross Bomb Skip using just Morph Ball to get to and from the Pickup. Rated one level higher than the corresponding usage with Flash Shift or Spin Boost.
- Added: Ledge Warp usage to flip the spinner in Ghavoran next the Transport to Elun, and in Elun to release the X.
- Added: All Chozo-X encounters now have energy requirements.
- Changed: Added Wide Beam to missile farming during Kraid's fight.
- Changed: Fighting Kraid in Phase 2 without going up is moved from Beginner Combat to Intermediate.
- Changed: Fighting Kraid with no energy is now Intermediate Combat. Fighting with 1 Energy Tank is Beginner.
- Changed: Dodging in all Chozo-X fights now has Flash Shift as trivial, Spin Boost with Beginner Combat, and nothing with Intermediate.
- Changed: In Dairon - Teleport to Artaria, breaking the speed blocks is no longer "dangerous". This is done by removing the "Before Event" condition on breaking the blocks from above.
- Changed: In Artaria - Water Reservoir, breaking the blob is no longer "dangerous", as long as Slide is not randomized. This was previously dangerous because there's a connection in EMMI Zone Exit Southwest that makes use of Speed Booster, however, by simply adding a "Can Slide" option on the same condition, the logic now sees the blob as safe.
- Changed: In Burenia: Fighting Drogyga is now only "dangerous" if Highly Dangerous Logic is enabled. This is achieved by adding a Highly Dangerous Logic constraint on all instances where the logic uses "Before Drogyga" on connections in the Underneath Drogyga room.
- Changed: Move victory condition to after Raven Beak, and encode all requirements to finish the escape sequence to that connection. This avoids having a "dangerous" resource at the end of the game.
- Changed: In Burenia - Main Hub Tower Middle, lowering the Spider Magnet Wall is now "dangerous" only when Highly Dangerous Logic is enabled. The connection from the bottom of the room to the Pickup Platform that uses Grapple Movement requires the Spider Magnet Wall to not be lowered now requires Highly Dangerous Logic. The randomizer currently doesn't have the necessary options to make this connection mandatory in any seeds anyway.
- Changed: Most instances of pushing Wide Beam Blocks by using Wave Beam through walls now no longer need Wide Beam. Notable exception is Dairon - West Transport to Ferenia, from below.
- Changed: Boss fight logic using Ice Missile without Super Missile is no longer an option, and effectively requires as many missiles as with normal Missiles.
- Changed: Boss fight logic now understands how damage values work with Split Beams behavior.
  - Affected bosses: Robot Chozo fights, Chozo X fights and Raven Beak.
  - Having only Plasma Beam or only Wave Beam is only used to fight the Robot Chozos, at Combat Intermediate.
  - Having both Plasma Beam and Wave Beam is considered as the same bracket as only Wide Beam.
  - Having Wide Beam and Wave Beam is considered as the same bracket as Wide Beam and Plasma Beam.
- Changed: Exclude Ghavoran door between Flipper Room and Elun Transport Access from being shuffled as a Grapple Beam door in Door Lock rando. This is to enable a Ledge Warp to flip the Spinner from below.
- Changed: In Ghavoran - Flipper Room, rotating the flipper the normal way can now be in logic before having pulled the Grapple Block at Right Entrance or having turned on Power Switch 2 in Dairon, if Transport Randomizer is enabled.
- Changed: Revised logic for fighting Corpius
  - When using missiles without an ammo requirement, the X must not have been released.
  - Using Cross Bomb is moved to Combat Beginner
  - For Missiles, Super Missiles and Ice Missiles, the number of required missiles is reduced by 1, which matches the pre-existing comments. These alternatives remain Combat Intermediate.
  - For Missiles, Super Missiles and Ice Missiles, these can now also be used without combat tricks, but you need 1.5x as many units of Missiles ammo as the combat trick version.
  - Added Storm Missiles.
- Fixed: A typo in the room name Ferenia - East Transport to Dairon has been changed from East Transport to Darion.
- Fixed: In Burenia - Teleport to Ghavoran, to open the Plasma Beam door from below, add requirement to have Plasma Beam. This becomes relevant with Separate Beam Behavior.
- Fixed: In Artaria - Teleport to Dairon, to enter the teleport itself using Wave Beam, add requirements to have Wide Beam and Door Lock Rando being disabled. The former becomes relevant with Separate Beam Behavior.
- Fixed: In Cataris - Kraid Area, when using Wave Beam to fight Kraid from behind, you now also need the rest of the rest of the requirements to fight Kraid.
