I'm figuring out how to screen record my Wii U to record my Skylanders Speedruns, and the rules do not say that I have to use an IGT, but should I use one? Also, if I should, how do I get it on my Wii U?

If the rules for a game don't say to use IGT, then don't use IGT when submitting your runs; you must always follow the timing rules laid out in the rules of the game if you wish to submit your run to the LBs.

Additionally, you cannot get IGT on a console game unless the game itself has a timer included in it and it displays the time at the conclusion of the run. If the game doesn't have a built in timer, then there is no way to get IGT for the game. There are tools that attempt to remove loads based on visual images, but I'm not sure if many games use them because it tends to be frowned upon to rely on a third party, external tool for runs.

Hi. Skylanders speedrunner here. Some games require to show IGT (like Giants and Trap Team) and others don't/are timed with Real Time (like Spyro's Adventure and Swap Force). If you still need help or have more questions, please join the Skylanders Speedrunning Discord.
