This is my idea for if I can become a Speedrun.com mod, and you mods and former mods can change it up if you'd like — I'll take verifier, and I don't need moderator:
Do a majority vote, and whichever one wins, please have a mod or former mod DM me
Again, I don't need to become a Speedrun.com mod for SMB/SMB2J — but I'd be very happy if I do become one

Having an input display shown isn't the problem, I've had NohBoard in my layout since I've been speedrunning NES games. The main problem is including the full attempt session in the submission description. I prefer not to have my full attempt recordings public in any way, and having it in the description of my run is still having it public, as anyone can go to the pending tab on my profile to see it, so I'd much rather have a mod/verifier DM me on Discord when they're about to verify my run, and I'll send them a video of my full attempt session there when I have time. I also prefer not to keep my full attempt recordings, so after my run has been verified, I'll delete them.
They’re both below 3:20, which is why I’m asking.
In other words, why do the decimals end with 00, 16, 33, 50, 66, and 83, and not 00, 17, 33, 50, 67, and 83?
Just having this for my own purposes (and possible everyone's purposes). :) Makes Sense: :) → :) ;) → ;) :( → :( :| → :| :o → :o :P → :P :p → :p B) → B) -- → -- <3 → <3
Makes Sense, but Could Change: :/ → :/ (Why not make it "🫤"? I personally don't like ":/" turning into "😕.") :\ → :\ (Why not make it "🫤"? I personally don't like ":" turning into "😕.") >:( → >:( (Why not make it "😠"? I personally don't like ">:(" turning into "😡.")
Doesn't Make Sense: :D → :D (Why not make it "😄" or "😀" [preferably “😄”]?) XD → XD (Why not make it "😆"?) :’) → :’) (Why not make it "🥲"?) ;( → ;( (Why not make it “😢"?) :’( → :’( (Why not make it “😢"?) :O → :O (Why not make it “😲"?) >:) → >:) (Why not make it "😈"?) (: → (: (Why have it change at all?) .. → .. (idk a better emoji that would fit "._.") D: → D: (idk a better emoji that would fit "D:")
And seriously, please can we have a setting to toggle auto-emoticon-to-emoji? :(
Would it make more sense if some black frames didn't count as load frames? Because during a normal level transition, there's nine black frames between the end of the level and the GUI appearing (or whatever you call the "WORLD X-X" and Mario's lives in the middle of the screen), so it would make more sense to take nine frames off of the current load times, right? So these would be the new numbers (copied and edited from https://www.speedrun.com/smbtll/guide/jj2r0):

Edit: Level transitions, in which the level before the transition starts has a black background (this includes castle transitions), are slightly different from level transitions, in which the level before the transition starts has a blue background. Level transitions, in which the level before the transition starts has a black background (again, this includes castle transitions), have ten standard black frames, and level transitions, in which the level before the transition starts has a blue background, have one standard blue frame and nine standard black frames. These are the correct numbers (once again, copied and edited from https://www.speedrun.com/smbtll/guide/jj2r0):

Can there be a setting to toggle auto-emoticon-to-emoji?
Or can I ask the alternate question:
Is there a way to format emoticons so they don't turn into emojis?
The game rules say we’re not allowed to speed up gameplay. But can I speed up the gameplay before the run starts?
I tried searching for it on google, but got no useful results. :( Help please?
I'll use Any% as an example. Do the rules mean if someone were to get a 3:16.000, they don't have to follow the rules, but if someone were to get a 3:15.983, they would have to? Or is it ≤ 3:15.000?
Some emulators, like FCEUX and BizHawk, have a Hex Editor, and I would like to know if looking at it (to see if you set up 20 E3 8F or 4C E3 8F correctly) is not allowed, because this may be considered cheating :)
I remember there being a 1:45 by someone who I forgot, that used to be in the Any% category but then switched to the Any% (Time Travel) category because of new rules. But now it's gone (well not really "now" because it's been gone for a while). Does anyone know what happened to it? Maybe the user deleted their account or something? Idk :/
At the end of Czikubi's 3:02.383 Any% run, he mentioned that "[he] didn't get it." What did he not get, and what was he trying to get?
How do you do this upward stacking thing? (Example: )
