Jumpless Hammerless logic - icebound777/PMR-SeedGenerator GitHub Wiki

Starting without any gear can make for a unique experience, but one that is not very intuitive. This logic guide will go over various situations where you can progress without boots/hammer and logic expects you to do so.

General Hammerless Tips

  • Regular trees that contain items can be bombed with Bombette. We say regular because trees that have unique behaviors (the fuzzy minigame trees and the Shiver Snowfield tree that must be hit 3 times) really require a hammer. Beware that some of the hitboxes can be a bit weirdly placed when using Bombette though.
  • Yellow hammer blocks can be bombed with Bombette. This works in Vanilla and requires a map reload for the block to disappear, but Rando changed this to make them explode right away.

General Jumpless Tips

  • Floating item blocks can be hit by using Kooper's ability under them.
  • A lot of ledges and stairs can be climbed with Parakarry's ability. Trampolines can also be jumped on that way.
  • Some pipes can be climbed with Parakarry's ability, but not all of them. Blue pipes in the sewers are just slightly different and make it impossible for Parakarry to climb.
  • There are ton of places you can get stuck in when jumpless. Just use the Homeward Shroom when it happens, logic expects you to do so.
  • The randomizer added a way to save even while Mario cannot jump. Simply stand under a save block and press A.
  • There are some ledges you can climb with Parakarry but it's extremely hard to do so, such as climbing the Boo's Mansion stairs. These are NOT IN LOGIC and are considered tricks. As a rule of thumb, if you can't climb a ledge from the best angle within a few tries, or need a video to know how to do it, it's not in logic.

Toad Town

  • Bombette's ability can be used to wake up the whale in Toad Town's port.

Chapter 5

  • On the beach, the leftmost tree drops an item on a rock. This rock can actually be climbed without a jump, simply stand behind the back right corner and walk towards it.

Chapter 6

  • You can use Kooper, Parakarry or Lakilester to trigger the item vines in Flower Fields
  • In Cloudy Climb, Kooper can be used to jump on the cloud elevator. You can then walk off it at top height to reach the item.
