1. If a runner receives a game over in SMB3 and continues, are they allowed to skip previously cleared levels (with clouds,using pipes, etc.) or must the map be completed upon clearing the world for 100% completion to be legitimate?

2. In SMB2J is it permitted to save and quit for the purposes of switching characters and resuming from the same file / stage the S&Q was performed?

I realize these are odd questions because neither situation is desirable for a top time, but I have my reasons. :)

1. As long as everything is completed at least once, you should be fine.

2. I don’t think we have rules disallowing this, so IMO you should be fine here as long as all levels are completed.
