This would be really tedious because it would just be coin duping over and over again in the dinosaur area in Cascade. Also I've seen this suggested, like, 10 other times.
"Timer starts when you press a new save file"
"Must have finished the game in that file"
???
It honestly doesn't take that long to beat the game jumpless. 2 player is allowed for as often as you want, although it's only required at one point (to wake Mario up before escape, which you have to Cappy bounce instead of Jump) Any% timing rules, you have to check with toadette post run about how many jumps you have.
- Jumping as a capture doesn't count
- Talking to NPC's, weirdly, counts. However, you can avoid this by talking to them in first person mode.
Any% runs should just be called, "I'll optimize this until I die%" speedruns. It's true.
I've had two rejected submissions come in because I didn't have any means of recording them. I don't have a capture card, do you have any suggestions?
(Yes, I know you can just point it at the TV, but I'm playing handheld games)
