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

you can continue even if you die

@KilleDragon what if i game over?

@RealRemnant then it's a reset

@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 :)

I would personally reset but you do you my friend 🙂

@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.

you can continue, but i'd just reset at that point

Tempted to quote Ivan Drago here...

if he dies.... he dies

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