I have been practicing MC kids for a couple months now. I finally got a time that I feel good enough about to submit. (pb is 20:57 any% and 34:14 100%). I recorded a run of each category but when I finally managed to get them uploaded to youtube, I realized that I messed something up with my audio recording so the copyright music I was playing was audible throughout. Needless to say I am hoping that my next attempt at a recording and hosting will go better. Any tips on this are appreciated? I do not personally live stream but I do have a decent pc.

A lot of people (myself included) use OBS or some similar software for recording. You can live stream or just record locally and upload later. Whichever program you use should allow you to control your layout and audio sources. I don't think we have an audio requirement for this game, so you could probably strip out the audio entirely if you wanted, or just submit as is.

I assume maybe you're listening to music and your mic is picking it up? In that case you could use headphones and then make sure your desktop audio isn't being captured

I did verify the runs you submitted, always nice to see a new runner. I do have a few suggestions though. First, and most importantly, please include the power on or reset at the beginning of your submissions. If you find it helpful you can start your splits at -1.11, the time it takes to load the first stage. There isn't much activity, but if you use discord we have a channel here https://discord.gg/6A9vh7Z. Last, and least importantly, I'd recommend fixing your aspect ratio. Not something I would reject a run for of course, I just personally dislike a stretched screen

Ok, thank you link for your feedback. I have watched speedruns for quite a while but this is one of the first games I have enjoyed playing to this extent. I will look to implement these suggestions in any future submissions.
