+Because the player begins with access to the Future, Lost Worlds has a feature which charges the Pendant immediately upon receiving it so that sealed doors may be opened.
-**Lost Worlds+**: ''n,g,l,z,te'' - In this mode, players defeat Zeal 2 first and unlock New Game+, and then go back in NG+ and defeat Lavos in the Ocean Palace. Knowledge from the first playthrough is used to find the second Go Mode faster.

 **Crabsanity**: ''n,g,z,p,te,cr,tb'' - The goal is to defeat Lavos or Zeal 2 by getting go mode items, as usual. Uses Chronosanity flag plus the "Make all treasures tabs" [[flags|flag]]. The player gets much less gear, making shops more important, as well as getting a lot of tabs from chests.
-**Legacy of Cyrus**: ''n,g,p,m,te'' - The goal in this category is to find [[Magus]] and [[Frog]], then use them in your party to complete Northern Ruins, Magus's Castle, and Ozzie's Fort. Time stops when the cat hits the switch behind Ozzie. There is a spoiler log checker available at https://cthulhustools.net/legacyofcyrus/locseedcheck that makes sure the run is completable.

+**[[openspoiler|Open Spoiler Log]]**: ''???'' - Generate a seed with known or random [[flags]]. For a certain amount of time before the race begins (currently 5 minutes is standard), players may peruse the spoiler log as much as they like. They may also look at it while the race is on, but it is up to them to juggle the game and the log at this point. Players use the log to plot a path through the seed.
