consider talking about this in the discord, as it is quite awkward hearing this in a thread
It’s already a category mate https://www.speedrun.com/smbce/run/meow500z
SM64 on n64 has a bit of lag when saving and continuing, pretty sure that’s not allowed due to the fact that you’re practically “cheating” by advancing a few frames further your best choice would be buying another cartridge
you have to find that out yourself, it takes time so don’t expect to learn it right away :) I also recommend entering the discord for these type of questions, you will be answered quick
it’s best to find these kind of things in the discord, you’ll also find a bunch of different handy resources in there as well
so does time end when stepping on the switch or do you enter bowser stages?
why are you intentionally making controller sounds and being surprised when you know it’s a TAS? LUL
