Hello everybody!

I've been watching speedruns a lot for the last couple years, I really enjoy the mario series the most, I watched toufool's run on SMS awhile back and actually just finished watching averagetreys run from agdq 2016 just a few min ago. Im honestly speechless as it is just amazing seeing someone beat the game like that. Now on to what I want to say is that I've been wanting to get into speedrunning and sms has been one of my all time favorite mario games. Unfortunately I haven't played it in ages though. I want to start running this game but I have no idea where to start! If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated so much. I can't wait to get started when I get back to the states. Whoops forgot to mention that I am currently deployed right now so internet can be scarce here haha. But fortunately for me I will be home in just a few short weeks. Anyways I'm babbling on but I just wanted to say hello to everyone and hopefully I get to know you all much better in the future! Thanks again for taking the time to read this and I'll hear from you guys soon.
