So, first of all, does the run end, when I "game over" or can i press "continue"?

And second of all, is there a way to automate the livesplit timer? Because when I speedrun SMB1, the splits would just automatically be applied after each level was completed (I downloaded the any% splits from speedrun.com)

Thanks in advance Linoke

1. You are allowed to continue a run from a game over; any number of game overs are permitted as long as the speedrun is completed.

2. I do not believe an autosplitter has been devised specifically for this game. I do not have knowledge about how the autosplitter works, but this game shares many RAM addresses with SMB1, so there's a possibility the autosplitter will work with SMB2J as well. If not, then you'll have to split manually.

Thanks Simplicist! I figured out that the SMB1 Autosplit, also works for SMB2J :)
