Effective yesterday, the community has decided to allow Story Mode Singles speedruns to be able to start from either specified SRAM files or an emulator save state / Wii U Restore Point at a specific point in order to skip the intro sequence. Please see the category's rules for the conditions on which such runs will be accepted. Runs on game copies that were modified with the Intro Skip Patch WILL NO LONGER BE ACCEPTED.

This rule may be extended to other Story Mode categories in the future.

For help with using the SRAM files or making the proper save state, please ask in our Discord server.
