I want to get into running this game, but I need to know what really is put into the game for a run? (If you can tell me skills to practice, routes I should pay attention to, anything helpful)

https://pastebin.com/PcBdqZZK - This is the any% route based on watching Kobral's run. Practice what you see here, then put it together in runs.

Thanks for the advice! I don't know if I can run this game because I may or MAY NOT, have lost my copy...
I will keep looking, and thanks for the route!

JIC you want to run 100% a link is in the forums

Just for clarification, glitches are allowed in this right?
The same question regarding the use of Emulators (I'm using Dolphin 5.0-8789, should be within the rules) and more specifically: Using an Emulated Wii Remote instead of a real one.

I'm pretty much new to this and thought this would be a fun game to run, so I don't wanna start off breaking some rules, sorry if some questions are dumb!

@Jeffreyzilla

As far as glitches go, for the most part they are fine, that being said the only real glitch I know of in this game is Tepig/Pikachu Clipping, which is used once in the Any% run. Any major game breaking glitches found would be discussed by PSR mods and then categories and/or rulings would be adjusted as needed.

I'm not positive on development builds of Dolphin, but I do know that the standalone stable version of 5.0 is the one allowed per PSR ruling. For more useful information from someone who knows more about this than I do (lol), feel free to ask in the PSR Discord under the #speedrunning-help channel.
