Hi,

So I'm relatively new to the speed running community. If we were to add a blue streamer category I'd be up for running it. Should it start after the red streamer cutscene ends? ends when you obtain the second bag upgarde?

There is a problem with that, and is that there is no tiem specific to where the run start, because if we count when the loading start when you beat the red stream it could be but will be a little dificult to practice unless you have a NSO with savecloud, i think would be a new idea if is with it start and end in that way, but there is a problem, in some chapters there isn´t a loading screen to be triggered, like after you defeat siccsors, you can skip bowser there, so how we can know where that chapter start, maybe for now it could be for blue, yellow and maybe purple with green, but let the mods know this

Was thinking, what about first frame where you gain control of Mario? so we can keep it more consistent.

To then the frame where you get the confetti upgrade

Maybe the timer could start when loading the save file following the cable car cutscene.

The game saves right before the cutscene, so you have the entire cutscene to exit and re-enter the game.
