The “Get Surprise Sprite” button was a button in Scratch 1.4 where when you pressed it you would get a random sprite. Where did it go?

What is the “Get Surprise Sprite” button? If you don't understand, go here.

I mean getting a random sprite from the sprite picker.

Yeah, I know it was removed when they made 2.0. What I meant by “where did it go” is why did they take it out? Sorry if I wasn't clear.

It's a button, not a block

Support! This would help when people are out of ideas!

Well, I think it MIGHT be useful for something like a ‘Make a game with 2 random sprites’ challenge.

Well, when I was new to scratch, I loved to press the button and see what sprite would come out. Also,

But that wouldn't get any random sprites.

Btw, support, useful when you don't have any ideas. For example, if I got a fox and an airplane, I could make an animation of a fox riding on an airplane.
