I was wondering if there was any interest for a Discord Server for this community. I know a few other games have servers for talking strats and races etc.

The one problem I think would matter is how active the community is, which I'm sure someone on here can tell me.

Mods would be mods on there. There's also bots I can set up to notify when someone is streaming NSMBU on Twitch.

Please let me know what you guys think.

I've noticed on other Mario games that they start the timer on the first input with Mario. (NSMBW, SMW,) For this game and Mario wii, you first gain control of Mario on the W1 map, which is where the timer starts on NSMBW.

Starting the timer here allows you to have faster restarts (as long as you never save) because then you load up a file and it takes you to the point where you gain control of Mario.

You then can sit at the w1 start for as long as you want until you're ready to press 'right' and start timer.

I do realize this would make many runs invalid if you adopted this but I'm just throwing it out there.

I don't think this has been brought up anywhere else, correct me if I'm wrong. Anyways, I was thinking we should all make an agreement on where runs actually start from now on. I always started the timer when I first move Mario on W1 map. This allows for faster restarts because you don't have to watch the cutscene everytime.

Basically, you just start a new file, watch the cutscene, and never save and that file will always start right after the cutscene.

I know the SMW community starts when you first gain control of Mario so that what I do. I've noticed people here do this more now but what do you guys think?

I haven't gotten a sub 30 run yet but I probably will soon, but I don't have any means to upload a video. I have a Youtube and a Twitch but I don't stream and I don't upload. Do we NEED to post a video link if we sub-30? If not, can anyone help me get the things I need to create videos/streams? I also am not able to post times on the NSMBU Leaderboard and Splatoon due to this.

Thanks!
