3DAS is banned for this leaderboard but there is a CE category that supports that version, but NSO version is the most recommended one since it's the one that has BLJs working and mostly everything from the runs you watch on the leaderboard. If you do a NSO version run, make sure to submit under VC since it's a Virtual Console release of the game. 3DAS isn't much recommended since it's a port of the Shindou version (Chinese version) that patched BLJs and messed up some other physics like the trees and ploe grabs.
Yes, there is significant input lag on both compared to a real N64 or emulator.
We would like to announce that VC and EMU subcategories are now active on the Stage RTA leaderboards (under "Levels"). Stage RTA involves collecting all the stars in a given stage including the 100 coin star. Timing starts on star select and ends upon collecting the final star. You are allowed to us
