The DASH (Diversity and Selective Haste) Super Metroid Randomizer seeks
to provide more options for runners to complete seeds by limiting the
gating potential of certain items and item locations. DASH is based on
the
Super Metroid Item Randomizer
developed by Total and featured in the 2017 Super Metroid Randomizer
Tournament.
