Hi everyone, we have quite a few pinned posts and I wanted to make an updated version just to consolidate things and fix some outdated information. If you've read through this post and the linked google doc and still have questions, feel free to ask them in the discord (https://discord.gg/DUNfUp9ZGN)
TL;DR - Check the rules by clicking here. They'll have everything you need to know about what types of categories we have, how to submit, and how to know whether or not your run will require video proof. However, here are some of the most important points
- Timing starts upon pressing "OK" to start the first race, and ends upon crossing the finish line of the final track
- Submit your time in the "Time" field. PLEASE DO NOT PUT ANYTHING IN THE IN-GAME-TIME FIELD
- Cup runs must start on the first track of the cup, i.e. you can not submit your "Flower Cup" time as part of a broader Nitro Track speedrun
- For 16 track categories (or the 32 track base game category) you can submit them as part of larger speedruns, i.e. You can submit a Bonus Track time from a 96 track run. NOTE If you're doing this, timing starts upon crossing the finish line of the previous track. In the above example this means that timing starts upon crossing the finish line of N64 Rainbow Road and ends upon crossing the finish line of big blue
- If your time is lower than the proof thresholds listed in the above doc, you must have video proof or your run will be rejected.
- If your video proof features multiple resets or different runs, please leave timestamps for the start and end of your run, otherwise we may reject and ask you to resubmit
