Would I be allowed to set a sound only for every time that I need to jump or something? Instead of a constantly repeated sound from a normal metronome?

If you mean a prerecorded custom sound series? I'm not sure if that would be okay or not. Would need to be a call made by the mods. I would tend toward no? But I'm not sure.

If you mean somehow pair a program to give a sound indicating a jump required based on the screen itself, then definitely not.

actualy i guess there has to be a limit about what is allowed to hear i imagine without limits myself recording my voice explaining the exact steps at the exact moments for a blinfolded run, and then reproducing it constantly for a run

Even that would be a lot harder to execute than it sounds

It would still be impressive, but I feel it would be against the spirit of blindfolded speedrunning (although I'm not sure how other games deal with this). In my mind it should be you and your intellect versus the game, with nothing but game audio to rely on.

That makes sense Pladask. I guess it kind of seems like cheating to set a specific sound for when I need to jump or do specific movements, and it also takes away a little bit of the purpose of blindfolded speedrunning.

@Corban_Pittman don't worry about the need for memorization. there are only a few things to memorize in 1-1 to 4-2. I was able to get to 4-2 in about a week with the few memorizations. As darby pointed out, metronome is legal and i will be using one for blindfolded once i get down 8-1~8-4(about 10 min) with metronome should be about 8 min and eventually less. good luck and try not to stress yourself out.(i am only at 2873 attempts. many more to come!)

Ah, I see. Thanks @Magic_Dash

I Have a werid idea with smb1 blindfold i think someone will play the game and count and when you jump remember the number and when u r blindfolded remember the number to jump and do that it would be hard

The hard part of this type of strat is the having normalized counting @Grimmwolf6711 . The eaisist strats are music cues (you can count notes just like seconds, and echolocation.

The biggest rule on blindfolded speedrunning is (key word you used @Nxjfjhdhdhdhdnj ) external. No external help of any kind
