Majora’s Mask Randomizer is a Windows application that randomizes item locations, music, and more for Majora’s Mask, presenting millions of combinations and new ways to replay the game.
A video tutorial of setting up MMR is found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4woEtyg7GyM
Currently the UI is only available on windows, it is broken in wine. The CLI version works if you install dotnet and run the CLI as “dotnet MMR.CLI.dll -input <MM.z64> [-seed seed]” but modifying the settings means modifying the settings.json by hand. A replacement webui is in development which will supply a UI on all platforms.
Additional information on every feature of MMR is available by reading the tooltip shown by hovering the mouse over the option, or reading the detailed manual by pressing F1, or visiting the help menu.
MMR has no unique emulator requirements, you can play a randomized rom with any method that allows you to play a MM rom. MMR roms work on N64 emulators, they can be played on N64 hardware with everdrive and similar flashcard technology, and they can be played on Wii Virtual Console, MMR will even convert the randomized rom to a wad for you.
Known Quirks of MMR
In vanilla MM, you use [Garo’s Mask] to convince the ghost to summon a tree and grant you Ikana valley access, but in vanilla MM, he will also accept you wearing a [Gibdo Mask] and grant you Ikana access. Most people don’t know this because you get the Gibdo mask after getting access to the soaring owl and you never need to travel east up that cliff again if you don’t want to, but MMR accepts both masks as giving you access.
There is a hidden (bomb-able) grotto on the ramp steppe path to get to goron racetrack. If you do not have goron you can still get up there: There is a scarecrow near the boulder blocking the racetrack. Call it out using the Scarecrow song, then use the Hookshot.
You will sometimes find milk in what appears to be a bottle, but it is only milk, and it will not give you a bottle. There is just no milk without a bottle model for us to use, unlike the gold dust and potions.
The Clocktown Great Fairy gives you two items in vanilla (magic as deku, GFMask as link) and in Rando she still gives two items, you have to visit her twice; once as link and once as any other race (deku/goron/zora). You can visit her twice on the same 3 day cycle, just leave her cave and transform then immediately visit her again to get the second item.
Unlike OOT, you can NOT have bombchus without a bomb bag.
Warnings
Majora's Mask Randomizer has various features that are unique to itself that other randomizers might not include. These specific settings being referred to here are called "Gimmicks", in the MMR generator. These "Gimmicks" are not all treated equally, some of them can lead to softlocks and other various known issues. These issues have gone unfixed because they are largely avoidable as long as you know about them. In addition, these "Gimmicks" were essentially designed with the idea in mind that they are mostly glorified cheat codes without having to use cheat codes but built-in to the randomizer and even some of them come with logic attached.
The "Gimmicks" to be aware of that are likely to result in softlocks are Fierce Deity's Mask Anywhere and Giant's Mask Anywhere. Though, the randomizer development team has strived to fix as many of the softlocks these 2 settings cause, there's just too many specifically with Giant's Mask Anywhere that it's unreasonable to fix. Just know that when playing with Giant's Mask Anywhere, if Giant Link is going to touch the ceiling you're likely to have issues. For the most part, Fierce Deity's Mask Anywhere is fine in the current randomizer but there are still some small issues you can run into. One such example is, if you pick up a sword upgrade while in FD form you will infinitely slash the sword. To get out of this state, simply detransform.
Aside from that, MMR features an Enemizer setting. This setting is largely playable but there are some possible issues you can run into. Please refer the #known-issues channel in the MMR Discord for more information on all of this before you boot up a randomizer seed.
