The ultimate goal of this guide is to serve as a central hub for all of the relevant knowledge needed to get started with and improve at Super Mario 64 Real-Time Attack (RTA) speedruns. Eventually, all external links on this page will be replaced with their own wiki pages. | |||
== Choosing a Platform == | |||
To submit to the [https://www.speedrun.com/sm64 official leaderboards], you will need to use one of the supported platforms; '''Nintendo 64''', '''Virtual Console''' or '''Emulator'''. The '''Super Mario 3D All-Stars''' release is supported on the [https://www.speedrun.com/sm64ce#Super_Mario_3D_All-Stars Category Extensions] page. | |||
There are major differences between each platform that have a big impact on speedrunning. Understanding those differences may help you decide which platform you’ll choose to run on. More details about these differences can be found on our [[/Platform Differences|Platform Differences]] page. | |||
More information about each platform, including version differences and setup/buying guides, check out each platform’s respective information page. | |||

== Leaderboard Verification == | |||
For a run to be accepted on the official leaderboards, video proof must be provided. While something as simple as pointing a camera at your TV is sufficient, if you plan on playing the game often or you plan on livestreaming your runs, the convenience and quality offered by a proper capture solution can be worth the cost. Here are some pages to help you figure out what you need to record or livestream your runs: | |||
