Use this time to use the restroom, get water, enter passwords, and check your notes!

• Password: Ktj-sF Pj0003 itm000 00y02g
• This password does not use the letter “O”, only numeral 0.
• Romhack notes: This romhack + password starts you in Tourian with 6 E-tanks (3 full) and several missiles and several upgrades.

• Romhack notes: Hold A when pressing start on the title screen to load Level Select. The Technodrome is always in the closest manhole (top right, shown in the image on the right) unless you game over, in which case it is in the farthest manhole (bottom left).

• No out of bounds tricks with glitch town or fairying are allowed (i.e. HUD Fairy warp, Fairy Feet & Healer Glitch). No fairying through doors without a key. No walking on the ceiling over a door without a key.
• Up+A is allowed in this category. (Using up+a on controller 2 with the spell menu open once you’ve entered the palace will give you back all your health and lives and start you at the palace)
• Romhack notes: This romhack starts you with 8/7/7 levels and all crystals placed and items/spells. You’ll need to make your way to GP and defeat the final boss. You have full heart containers – grabbing another heart container will move you down to one heart container, so do not do that.

• Warps allowed. Mario is the only permitted character. If another character is used by mistake, you must game over and continue without beating a stage or reset and start from the beginning.

• Letting the cut scene play messes up the drop table. If the cut scene starts, reset then press start!

• The “Select uses money to heal” has been removed entirely.

• Any% rules apply, so zips are allowed.

• This is the Speedrunner’s Edition with no autoscrollers. “Hands” do not come automatically in world 8 but can be triggered by pressing “A”.

• The Lost Woods path is Up, Left, Down, Left if you do not want to screen scroll to the Magical Sword.
