Let strength be granted, so the world might be mended...so the world might be mended.

Yeah, apparently it is as rare as getting the Plasma Bazooka in a crate.

What's a plasma bazooka?! It is really funny how much stuff there is in this game.

I have heard the aliens could spawn in the pots, but super rare. Yu explains a lot of this stuff in the book too. How he did stuff. For instance, there will not be a shop on 1-1, so don't look for it. And then every level after that the odds shift. I can't remember if he said that 1-2 has a 1 in 4 or 1 in 5 chance of a shop spawning. But it goes down from there. That's how enemies work too. Like, a room will have an x-in-y chance of an enemy spawning. And if it spawns it has a z-in-10 chance that it's say an orange frog; if not a z-in-9 chance it's a blue frog; if not a z-in-8 chance it's a skeleton and so on. Every tile of that game is just dice-rolled and it's really interesting how he basically just played with the numbers until it worked in perfect harmony. EDIT: In other words, it is RANDOMLY generated, but based on these well thought out algorithms.
