So... Randomizer Mode is kind of weird. It assigns traits to enemies in a random or semi-random fashion... so stats like health, speed, gold drop, etc, may be higher or lower than normal... and attributes like diagonal movement, random movement, phasing, etc, could be present or absent... etc, etc.
However, during your run, the traits assigned to an enemy will consistently be assigned to ALL enemies of that type, so once you figure out, for example, what traits a yellow skeleton has, you'll know what to expect from every yellow skeleton you encounter during that run.
So while it can be a confusing mess... at least you can learn from previous enemy behavior during a particular run. You just have to start the process over again every time you start a new Randomizer Mode run. ^^;
Anyway, after a number of failed attempts, I finally got my first ever Randomizer Mode win! So here it is... hope you enjoy!
Some notes and possible points of interest:
0:09 1-1
0:16 Fast-but-weak blue slimes, slow ghosts... fast white skeleton? Nothing too bad, so far... ^^
0:44 Oh wow, white skeletons are worth a lot of gold!
0:47 Leprechaun and... yeah, I think this is a bug in Randomizer, but the normal way of getting the Leprechaun not to drop any gold doesn't work, probably because the way Randomizer Mode re-defines gold drops. =p
0:57 Titanium Longsword!
1:31 Monkey's Paw!
1:44 Heh, slow, ground-based red bats. =)

33:12 Ack, the yellow skulls can phase too! ^^;
33:32 Mb: Metrognome
33:56 Wha...? Oh, the yellow skulls take multiple hits to destroy... AND spawn skeletons for every hit? This... could be bad. =p
34:19 Ack, definitely bad! Umm, ummm... oh, I have bombs and a heal spell and cookies! Just don't panic and walk into gold, and hopefully my health and armor will last long enough to...
34:31 Whew! Umm, well, definitely made some mistakes (why was I using Blood Magic so much? plus I completely forgot about the shield tome!), but... somehow made it out of there without stepping on gold! ^^;
