I thought it might be fun to try to speedrun this game from my childhood, but my 3DS broke a long time ago. What's the stance on using emulators, particularly Citra?

If you start to submit a run, you’ll see that emulators are banned.

If you’re interested in replacing your 3DS, you can get a used 2DS for as low as $50.

They're perfectly fine now, feel free to use them. The more player accessibility, the better!
