Is the Switch emu allowed? Just curious.

You will get an answer soon, still in progress of testing

Sorry that this took so long! Yes, we will allow runs done on the Switch Online platform (= Switch Virtual Console). All timing analyses indicate that the game runs accurately on it. If we find any discrepancies in the future or if software updates change the situation, we'll deal with that at that time. One note on the settings, however: we have found that the graphics option "Reproduce classic feel" introduces frame blending artifacts. Therefore, it is discouraged to use that option for speedrun submissions, since we'll have to default to clearly visible frames when timing, which might be to the disadvantage of the runner.
