How to reset SMB on Switch for Any%?
3 years ago
Nevada, USA

Hello,

I did a run for SMB1 that was rejected and would like some help figuring out how to not make the same mistake. This was the reason for the rejection "Rejected: Please include the reset to title screen in the video" I'm relatively new to speedrunning so I don't fully understand everything I'm supposed to do. I'm playing on the Switch Online and hit the two triggers and reset the game. Is that not allowed? Do I need to back fully out of the game to reset? Do I need video of my hands doing the inputs as I reset? I found another Switch user do the same as I and it got accepted so I'm not really sure what I should do. Anyway, any help would be much appreciated.

Loafofbred no I did not use that. I think my resetting somehow made it not work.

The reset was good, I don't understand why did it get rejected. I did the same for my 5:05 run and it didn't get rejected. Maybe DM the verifier and ask him

Wolfattak I certainly am going to DM the verifier. Sometimes the video skips or pauses so maybe it was missed? Anyway thank you all for the responses.
