Hello! I am extremely new to the speedrunning community... in that, I've literally never done one in my life. But, I would like to start with Super Mario Sunshine. I am curious in how I would begin this process, as I'm not 100% sure on what to do. Like I said, I'm a complete scrub, so, if anyone would be willing to help, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, and have a good day!

If you're new you should look at some any% tutorials or runs and try to replicate those. GrandsStarYoshi has a tutorial playlist on youtube and i believe DutchJ has one as well. I also recommend you join the SMS discord so you can ask questions more directly, there should be an invite link in the resources tab.
