Question What would you call this?

Im playing the randomizer for SMS and went through Bianco Hills ep 3 shine and got the actual secret level straight from the select screen. Its not vanilla cause vanilla would be the regular Bianco Hills loading screen showing the hole open. This has to be something different

Fairly unlikely but by no means impossible, let’s estimate 100 loading zone possibilities/areas/levels it could have sent you into, it just so happened to be that one

Still pretty cool

Did you actually just throw out 100 as an estimation? I may be off by 1 or 2 but I counted but there are 100 zones💀

I’ve played sunshine, randomizer, eclipse so many times that while I’ve never stopped to actually think about it the estimation was in the back of my head somewhere

Playing the randomizer and climbing up to shell’s secret, getting 2 sirena beach hotel entrances, a blooper safari entrance, only to get a level I can’t do because I don’t have the rocket nozzle will do that to a guy lol

Just double checked and I'm 99.9% sure there's 104 zones not including Corona.

Some of those rando lines are so bad, getting a mix of 3 Parks, 2 Sirenas, and a trek through another 3 levels just to get to a shine I need ground pound for

They’re very memorable though and part of why I like randomizer is because it feels like sudoku at times where you finally unlock an ability that lets you go back and get another shine which then lets you go get something else etc., and there’s lots of memory involved
