If I die during a run, do I have to end the speedrun, or can I still continue the speedrun?

@RealRemnant, you can still use the continue code if you're willing to continue your run after your game over. hold A before pressing start on the title screen after a game over and it should take you to the last world you were in before you game overed. good luck with the grind :)

@RealRemnant If you die or game over it's just a big time loss so many people prefer to reset. Nothing holds you back from going on with the run, it's not like the run will be invalidated.

If it is an Any% Run you can keep going and you don't have to reset the timer.
