This section explains how to time your runs in real-time using splits software. It is important to remember these programs have no effect on what the time of your actual run is and they only exist for convenience (i.e. forgetting to split when you grab the star won't make your run any slower). However, following this guide should make it so that it is as accurate as possible. | This section explains how to time your runs in real-time using splits software.

For runs done on Nintendo 64 or Emulator, the first frame of the logo appearing is used as a frame of reference to "sync" runs which use the reset button and the power on switch. The convention is that the first frame of the logo appears 1.33 seconds into the run. There is an [https://autosplit64.com/ autosplitter] that many people use, which detects resets using the appearance of the logo.. It is strongly recommended to set this up as it is very convenient and accurate and will save you (and the mods) a lot of headache. | For runs done on Nintendo 64 or Emulator, the first frame of the logo appearing is used as a frame of reference to "sync" runs which use the reset button and the power on switch.
