+To submit to the [https://www.speedrun.com/sm64 official leaderboards], you will need to use one of the supported platforms; '''N64''', '''Emulator''' or '''Virtual Console'''. The Super Mario 3D All-Stars release is supported on the [https://www.speedrun.com/sm64memes#Super_Mario_3D_All-Stars Category Extensions] page.
 === Platform Differences ===
-The primary differences between the platforms comes down to lag, loading and level of competition.  For a more detailed listing of version differences, including regional differences, check out the [[Super_Mario_64#Game_Versions|Game Versions]] page. If you're a beginner, starting out on Emulator is recommended because it's the easiest to get into and requires least amount of investment.  However, if you plan on taking the game more seriously, the majority of the top competition across all categories is on the original console, N64.  Virtual Console is a less popular option, but is still available for play and submission to the leaderboards.  The reasoning for the platform preferences within the SM64 community is complicated, but Drogie's video below does a good job explaining the thought process and history behind the way things are.
+There are major differences between each release of Super Mario 64 that have a big impact on speedrunning. Understanding those differences may help you decide which platform you’ll choose to run on. The details of these differences can be found on our [[/Platform Differences|Platform Differences]] page
