I'm interested in running this game but since I've never posted any run of this specific game before and I'm an Emu player I need to ask what Emus are allowed? I have Nestopia v1.40 and SNES9x 1.60 (but I rather run the NES version), also does this game run on framerules? The framerules would help me keep track on my progress, when would be the best moment to split?

• We aren't as restrictive on platforms here as in SMB1/2J, so what you're using is fine.

• This game isn't like 1/2J that operates on a 21 framerule system to be able to have exact split times for everything and predict RNG elements. If you make a 0.1 second mistake in the level, there's nothing that's going to keep you from losing 0.1 of time at the end of the level.

• Timing starts when pressing start on 1P/2P screen and ends when the fade out begins when entering the door at the end of the Bowser fight with the exception of Any% (wrong warp) in which it ends when Mario is visible in the Princess's chamber (and the game cannot crash). Splits in between honestly is whatever you feel comfortable with and can split consistently. There's some variance with Any% and Any% No WW so you may want to check out some of the runs for ideas or come up with your own. For Warpless and 100%, most players split when grabbing the wand at the end of each world. I personally would not recommend IL splits for Warpless and 100% because the variance with encounters with the hammer bros are going mess that idea up pretty quickly.

Thanks for your reply, I will practice this game and hopefully I can come up with a good run!
