Hey there guys. How's it going? I have just started running easy peasy any% and have been able to steadily reduce my time (from a 59 to a 42). I am happy with my progress but after watching the WR run i know i have some room for improvement. Any tips or tricks you know of that will help me out? things i do know of: -Skipping the first cutscene by exiting and continuing. -Saving credits to buy extra warp keys -Not building any secondary weapons or indirect weapons. -Using the coffee/tea station as much as possible.

So if you have anything else to add that would be much appreciated.

Hi everybody! (Hi Dr. Nick!), My name is Zaphod, and im new to speedrunning. Its been just under year since i have started and i have enjoyed learning everything i can. I have watched 2 GDQ's and have learn to respect all forms of running. From the runners, TAS'ers and glitch hunters, everybody is awesome.

Now i have specifically choosen SMW to start my adventures in speedrunning. It was a game I grew up with and had already kinda run in the past. Figuring out the path to star road as a kid was a good feeling.

So long story short. Is there any requirements for submitting w/ video proof. I have a taped run with the time of 12:35.3 on a super nes mini shot on a handheld camera. Its uploaded to youtube (well as i type this it is uploading). I used frame perfect timer, it is found on the android app store. I set the timer to -2.2 according with the rules. Time stops at peach falling out of the bowser craft. Is it acceptable with what i have done. I dont own a computer or have immediate access to one. I understand it is not WR time (that should require undeniable proof) so it ok to submit the run?

Thanks for taking the time to read this and look forward to hearing back from all of you.

Thanks, Zaphod
