I did a 16 star speedrun of the html port of SM64 the other day for fun, honestly almost did better with just using a keyboard than using a controller on a system
i mean, its based on platform that you are playing the game on, not the controller. i assume you will be using emulator
Yes you can, but it's a lot harder to do tricks, i always played with keyboard and i was able to do pillarless like four times in my life.
You should get a controller, it's so much easier. It's up to you though.
I’d recommend a cheap USB GameCube controller, you can probably get one for less than $15
imo keyboard > bad controller , especially those without notches. Keyboard has a fundamental disadvantage of digital input, so u cant walk and move other than the 8 directions. however, those limitation made the some trick easier to learn since u wont hold weird angles. ive only seen 2 runner on keyboard tho, one is top 20 16 star and sigotu which u can find easily on every leaderboards.
You can get a good third party Xbox controller for US$18. I’ve been using it for about 2 or 3 months and it’s served me well.
We would like to announce that VC and EMU subcategories are now active on the Stage RTA leaderboards (under "Levels"). Stage RTA involves collecting all the stars in a given stage including the 100 coin star. Timing starts on star select and ends upon collecting the final star. You are allowed to us
