Hey everybody! I've decided to speedrun but I'm not probably gonna speedrun too much but I'm trying to Speedrun Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon R (Super Famicom) and Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon for the Mega Drive. I'm not sure if emulators are legal so I might have to go buy a Super Famicom if SNES Classic or Wii is not allowed for SNES and Mega Drive speedruns. I wanted to run Sailor Moon R because I notice there was no 1-player run for it and I can beat it as Sailor Jupiter in 20-21 minutes. I hope I do as good as you people do!

"I'm not sure if emulators are legal" Assuming by "legal" you mean "allowed for speedrunning", depends on what game(s) you plan on running. Every community has their own rules, so you'll have to check with each game individually.

Sailor Moon R has several emulator runs so emulator would be allowed for that.

Wii would be allowed as well, although I think Wii VC is slower for SNES games (I’m not entirely sure). Also, no reason to need to buy a SFC, you can easily region mod a SNES to play SFC games by removing the plastic tabs in the cartridge slot. It’s incredibly simple to do and you can probably find a SNES cheaper than an SFC.
