A randomizer for Kuru Kuru Kururin utilizing Bizhawk-specific Lua scripts.
- Bizhawk Emulator
- A European ROM of Kuru Kuru Kururin, probably called
Kurukuru Kururin (Europe).gba - The latest release form the releases page
- Download the latest
.zipfile from the releases page and extract into an empty folder - Patch your vanilla ROM file with the included
.bpsfile (Rom Patcher JS does the trick) - Ensure the patched ROM is inside the folder with all the
.luascripts - (Optional) Modify the randomizer settings by editing
settings.luain any text editor
To play, simply launch the patched ROM through Bizhawk. Once the game has started, drag kurandomizer.lua on top of the emulator window, or select it through the Lua Console under Tools. The Lua Console must remain open for this randomizer to work, though it can be minimized.
Once you have passed the title screen and made it to the world map, two files should appear in the directory, random.dat and random.json. These keep track of your progress. If you reboot or close the emulator, simply launch the ROM and run kurandomizer.lua again to regain progress.
Deleting random.dat and random.json will allow you to start a new game.
Only adventure mode levels are shuffled in this randomizer, challenge levels are unaffected. Most randomizer settings are explained in the settings.lua file. Things like whether bonuses are shuffled, training levels are included, etc.
On the world map, levels with a blue circle are locked, levels with a yellow circle are unlocked, and levels with a yellow star have been completed. If you have not picked up the bonus item in an accessible level, your character will say so while hovered over it.
When you finish a level, if you've completed the set win condition you should be taken to a congratulatory screen after the results screen. The credits will then roll.
A massive thanks to the minds behind these repositories, which served as inspiration and guidance.
