I just wanted to ask if in the speedrun of this game, are you allowed to ‘skip’ the tutorials that come up in chapter 1 by viewing them before the run starts in the tutorial menu.

I'm guessing this is a new file? I'm not familiar with new file speedruns, but, in Joeypal's WR, he presses the quit button as soon as he gets to the tutorials. Your method would probably only save a couple seconds, assuming it skipped the tutorials entirely.

yeah no. you can skip the tutorials anyways.
