I would love to find easy ways to beat 8-2 and 8-3, so if you have anything it would be nice to know :)
I just barely beat an elite staff ghost. I need speed.
I need to figure out how to do splits on my NES so that I can make timing my run less tedious. So my question is, what should I do?
Practice the level that you are working on optimizing, and every time you die, play it again. Then once you game over, you hold A on the title screen and press start to go back to that world. I did this earlier today to practice 8-1.
RNG, oh my god. Can RNG just be on my side for once. For instance, Bowser's hammers in Super Mario Bros. almost always get me.
I got into speedrunning by watching some of Sethbling's old Super Mario World 0-Exit runs, thus making me slowly get into the community.
I need help deciding what capture card I should get. I want a cheap one, but I don't want to waste my money.
Please help.
I have no clue as to how this works, but I would recommend trying to recreate this using a TAS to recreate the positions, then (by use of trial and error) figure out what else causes this.
Perhaps this is too tedious and not worth it, but if it is extremely significant then you should give it a shot.
