A Randomizer is a machine resembling a Save Station that appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes' multiplayer mode. There are two in each stage; stepping into one will award Samus with a random power up.
Some powerups include:
- Unlimited Super Missile Ammo - Fire unlimited, fully charged Super Missiles.
- Massive Damage - Damage done to an opponent is increased.
- Unlimited Missile Ammo
- Unlimited Beam Ammo
- Unlimited Power Bomb Ammo
- Invisibility - Renders Samus invisible to the naked eye for a short time. Can be countered with the Dark Visor.
- Invincible Mode - Renders Samus invincible to enemy attacks for a short time, except for collisions with opponents in Kinetic Orb Cannons.
- Death Ball - Covers Samus' Morph Ball in a deadly sheath of energy for a short time, similar to the Hyper Ball or Death-Alt.
- Hacker Mode - Is used in the same manner as the Scan Visor. Allows Samus to plant an energy draining virus in the enemy's armor. It deactivates after a short time or once all enemies have been infected by it.
Official data[]
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes manual[]
- RANDOMIZER
- "Walk into a Randomizer and you will get a random power-up. The power-ups include unlimited ammo for beams and missiles, temporary invulnerability or invisibility, super-powered weapon strength, or even more obscure weapons like Death Ball or Hacker Mode."
Metroid Prime Trilogy manual[]
- Randomizer
- "When you go inside, you will be able to temporarily acquire various abilities, such as Invisibility, Invulnerability, Hacker Mode (where you can plant a virus on opponents you scan and drain their energy), and Death Ball (a Morph Ball that gives major damage to opponents it hits).""
Trivia[]
The symbol seen in Randomizers.
- The question mark symbol in the Randomizer also strongly resembles the letter "N" in the Luminoth language.
- In earlier screenshots of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Multiplayer, the Randomizer has a Morph Ball image instead of a question mark symbol. What this meant is unclear, though it is possible the Randomizer may have originally only produced Morph Ball power-ups (such as Death Ball).
