Two different projects randomize two different versions. I link their trackers. I do not host one.

ssrando’s command-line tool on macOS is documented as a from-source install. sshd-rando swaps chest, quest, and ground items and says the logic can be beaten without tricks. Archipelago support is a separate world repository, Battlecats59/SS_APWorld, which had 4 stars when I looked. That is not “official Archipelago support.”

Use robojumper’s Wii randomizer tracker to follow item progress. Match the tracker to the randomizer version and seed settings; Wii and HD projects use different game files and logic.

FAQ

Which randomizer matches the Switch game?

sshd-rando. ssrando is for the Wii ISO, not the HD cartridge.

Do you run a tracker on this site?

No. Use the project’s own tracker. This page only explains which project matches which version.
