Hello everyone. The MCMG Moderation Team would like to announce a few new rules that have been discussed this past week.

1. FCEUX IS NO LONGER ALLOWED: Since SMB1/SMB2J have already banned FCEUX, and word that the SMB3 community might ban it as well (due to recent discoveries of it having accuracy issues), we feel that it is only appropriate to ban it here as well.

2. PEOPLE WHO REQUEST CATEGORIES MUST HAVE VIDEO PROOF: If you would like to request a category, you must link a member of the mod team (or on the forums/discord if you prefer) a video to your run. We will not be considering category requests from now on if you can't provide a run of your own.

3. STANDALONE NES SMB1 VERSION IS ALLOWED FOR FAMICOM TRILOGY: Since the standalone Famicom version is essentially no different to the standalone NES version, we felt it would be necessary to allow the standalone NES version of SMB1 for Famicom Trilogy speedruns. However- SMB1/Duck Hunt and World Class Track Meet carts are not allowed.

4. SMB USA (JP SMB2U) IS ALLOWED FOR NES TRILOGY: With the Famicom and NES versions of SMB2U being pretty much identical, the Mod Team has agreed to allow the Famicom version for NES Trilogy speedruns!

5. FAMICOM VERSION OF SMB1 IS ALLOWED FOR NES TRILOGY: For the same reasons as Rule #3, we will be allowing the standalone Famicom version of SMB1 for NES Trilogy. We will not be allowing the FDS version of SMB1.

These rules are effective October 7, 2023. If you have any questions, you can reach out here or in the Community Discord!

SMB3J must be used instead of SMB3u still though right?

Yes.
