There is a set of standards imposed on retiming, such that every run can be documented and compared accurately. | ||

A full game run begins when the console is powered on. However, when we try to get into the details of what specifically defines “power on” in a recording, the line becomes a bit blurred. Since everyone’s console/hardware/software is slightly different, the time between when the console displays the first black frame upon powering on and when the first frame of the logo is displayed can vary. | |||
For the sake of keeping the standard continuous across all runs, a run is considered technically to start 1.30 seconds before the first frame of the logo appears. The only exception to this are runs done on Wii Virtual Console due to the “You will need a classic controller.” text. Wii hardware is loosely considered to be more accurate when reproducing the same frames while loading SM64. Note that this is still up for debate and has not yet been accurately tested or confirmed. VC runs technically start on the first black frame when loading SM64, this includes the “You will need a classic controller.” text. A run is considered to technically end when the final star is collected. Specifically, the run ends on the frame that the final star disappears and is replaced with star dust. | |||

'''Disclaimer''': This retiming method should in no way act as a superior or even equal replacement to properly retiming a run as detailed above. This method is less accurate, and should be used for heuristic purposes only. Nevertheless it is still useful as anyone who can do basic mathematics can get a rough idea of what their true run time is fairly quickly. Also note that this is specifically for recordings on OBS or other capture software that include LiveSplit or any other timer used for the run.

If the video does not have an external timer captured from the original recording, use one of the previous methods, as this will not work. | ||
