The platform shouldn't matter, it's mainly the version. As long as you are on v1.2, then the setup should work for you :)

This is a tutorial for the most recent route with lightnode SRM, ask the discord if you have any other questions https://discord.gg/7FYGh3d

hey

You need at least 1 submission from at least 3 different runners

Quote from the official rules pertaining to Super Mario 64 speedrunning: "Modified ROMs are banned"

Firstly, Liam, Cheese, and Marlene got sub 1:38. Secondly, a 1:36 would require a run that no human has pulled off before, like a low 1:02 upstairs time or even a high 1:01, followed by an insane upstairs RTA.

Here is the link to the 120 Star Community Segmented Run. In other words, the best times humans could theoretically achieve if they were to play every star with absolute TAS-like perfection for an hour and a half:

Hope this answers your question

UYou can use whatever you want as a controller (i.e. n64 controller, gamecube controller, guitar hero controller, electronic drum set, etc.), but I'm pretty sure if you're playing on emulator, then you would submit under the standard emulator category. Using a touchscreen controller layout would make no difference on the platform you're playing on.

You're allowed to run glitchless sl1 without there being an official category. Please don't start spamming the forums when you can leave two quick messages on the SpeedSouls discord server: https://discord.gg/Speedsouls

If you want to challenge yourself with glitchless sl1, you don't have to have a leaderboard with people on it. Do whatever category comes to your mind, but don't feel like you have to ask for there to be a new category for a game that already has its categories set in stone :)

Not to mention, I think this may just be a backhanded way of making a run that you can have a competitive time in. It's way worse to make a category that doesn't make you learn new strats than to actually improve at the game's movement. Tricks like island hop or owless don't matter if you're not consistent at the regular movement. If you don't want to do glitches in your run, just do 70 star with beginner strats. I'll link bluebob's example 70 star run here: This run makes use of the absolute minimal beginner strats, even excluding almost trivial tricks like lakitu skip.

I don't think you understand how 16 star works

This is 16 star lobby rta

Low 41 tomorrow

so you end the video when you... end the...

GOONER MOMENT LETS GOOO

If you can't do bomb clip then just take the small time loss rather than making a new category. You don't have to do the fastest strats in a game to be good at the category you're running. Some tricks are difficult, but that's just the nature of speedrun strats. If you want to go fast, it's gonna be hard.

This is a small thing but you definitely don't need metal cap for JRB unless you count perfect swimming as a glitch

I have never seen an oot speedrun before but I played this game as a kid. This is very impressive!

You can run a category without it being on the leaderboards. Since you are probably new to speedrunning, I would just do stuff like this or even individual levels to get comfortable with movement before you really start getting into 70 or 16 star or something.

"I know have no experience speedrunning this game" is kind of a massive red flag but this is really interesting in concept
