Personally, two runs got me extremely interested in speedrunning.

Back in 2013, I found the current sm64 120 star tas and found it interesting. I found other RTAs and TASes and I remember telling myself how much I would like to speedrun 0/1 star.

The run that actually got me into speedrunning, though, was @Jcool114 's MKWii run at SGDQ17.

what about you?

@GothicLogic i mean the one for hmc100, which has the long ass elevator.i know i can do this, but the reason why i made this thread was not to learn the strat, it was to actually get better at bljs. i'd like to learn how to do bljs for long times for other reasons than this one blj in particular.

hey!

im trying to learn the bljs in hmc that require you to blj for the whole time the elevator is going up and i find myself having a hard time consistently pressing fast for the whole ride up the elevator; i'll just end up normal jumping cause i didnt press fast enough after a certain point. my arms simply get tired and i let go. since im pretty dumb at knowing how to use a body, i figure i'd ask you guys how you do to hold fast pressed for an extended period of time.

i am decently good with this kind of vibrations, i can pull off about 12-13 clicks per second, but i have a hard time holding it for a long period of time.

what kind of arm exercises do you guys do to be able to hold bljs for a longer time?

sidenote: i have no problems with strength in general. in fact, i am better to do bljs with my weaker arm, so strength has nothing to do with this. also, this is the method I use and have been using since day 1 for fast pressing (with very slight differences):

thanks in advance!

Would a run on DVD-R be accepted, or no?

I already know that loading backups off USB is banned, but I have a question about when it's burnt on DVD-R.

I owned a NTSC-J version of sunshine that I would like to load and speedrun from my Wii disc drive, but I lost the disc (Kappa). I have a backup of it on a burnt DVD-R. Are runs on DVD-R allowed? I know little to nothing about loading times, but I know that it wouldn't be fair to accept USB, but what about DVD backups? Thanks in advance.

and yall also did it for catalonia Kreygasm we can finally spread our separatist propaganda on speedrun.com Kappa

but seriously sorry for getting political here but this is probably the one of the coolest little details you have ever added on this site, props to the admins

thanks

probably a dumb question, but are there any banned third party controllers for the n64 version of the game?

what piece of hardware do i need to "double" a rca signal into two rca signals

this thread is amazing

is there a language or region that is faster for speedrunning this game? since you have to watch through the text bubbles, what is the best language to speedrun this game on?

I lost a ton of time on this star because I can't find a consistent way of doing it and I end up running out of time. Does anyone know how consistently do this star?

I did a 16 star run on this emulator at some point, but it was denied, and I didn't think much of it. But now that I think about it, its loading times, lag and basically everything else is ¤very¤ similar to console. Could anyone explain why it's a banned emu?

Consists of getting all 20 stars and all comet medals, unlike 20 stars which does not require comet medals.

ROM Hack is Super Pinkgold Peach 64 Categories are 100%/7 Stars, and IL runs. Didn't do any runs yet personally, however here are two notable runs:

People are currently going for WR of this, so it would be cool to see this added on the site. :)

How do you quickly select the star you want to play? I can see the speedrunners selecting the star very easily without the pointer.

That sounds amazing! If any help is needed for french translation, please contact me. :)

I am fluent in french since I was born and raised in Quebec, a French region of Canada. I have experience with translation, and I am perfectly fluent in both languages.

Yeah, that just fixed it. Looks like I won't practice in french! :( Thank you :)

thanks for doing this! however, when i load up the game and press a+b, this happens:

im in canada (nstc-u). how do i fix this?
