I noticed that there's thousands of SMW speed runners here, that gain there skills from everything they learn here.
So I'm hosting a Super Mario World Speed run contest, where contestants actually post a video (link) of themselves speed-running Super Mario World. And in the end... A winner!
Rules:
1. Timer starts as soon as you select the "1player" option at the beginning of the game.
2. Absolutely NO HACKING. (duh)
4. Using Special World to get to Bowser's front door, is prohibited, and any submissions that consists of it, will be disqualified on site, as if they were never there. You would be asked to re-run it, without the use of Star Road.
5. Tricks, glitches, and such are fine as long as:
- No tricks or glitches are spammed
- If your gonna use a glitch, make sure it doesn't make anything unfair for other contestants. If your not sure, and/or uneasy about whether we might accept a certin glitch you have in mind... It's smartest not to risk it.
- No glitches are used to skip some chunk of the game. Especially things like this:

will be rejected)
4. I don't wanna see any contestants skipping any worlds, for that might make things unfair, to those who don't skip any. Now... what you can do, is use secrete exits that lead from a world, to the next, with out completing it. As long as you use each world to your advantage some how, your safe. That is, every world except Star Road. (Though, I don't see why you would use it anyways... Star Road takes you to the special world, where, in the end, just teleports you back to Yoshi's House.) - If any body disagrees, or has a suggestion with this rule, please don't hesetate to post your thoughts.
Those of you who want this rule back, please please please let me know!
Frequently Asked Questions:
Are TAS Speed Runs Allowed?
Answer: There are 2 catigories. "TAS" and "NON-TAS". So yes, they are allowed. But, you must make it clear that it is a TAS speed run. Put in parenthesis, "(TAS)" (Without quotes) at the very top of your submission post, right next to "My Submission". The reson for this is, TAS and NON-TAS will be judged and such, seperately, making it fair to those who dont use TAS.
_____________
Submissions are to be posted in the SMW Speed-Run Contest: Submission Thread . Make sure to put at the very top of your post:"My submission"(without quotes) with a link to your youtube upload, (or what ever upload) of it, so that we know. Other wise, unless your lucky, you might be missed. Always state with your submission post whether it is TAS or Non-TAS
Do NOT use Zsnes to record your SpeedRun. Because the video would be so long, it would almost always desync. If you don't have a choice, I recommend using Snes9x-rr, a special build of Snes9x that is specifically made to prevent desyncs.

Only post your submission once.
The first to get their submission posted will receive a gift card to use at GameStop.

Judging:
It's pretty simple, really. Who ever has the least amount of time from the moment they select the "1player" option, to the very last strike on Bowser, resulting in the defeat of Bowser, is the winner. Part of the judging, will be done as a tie between the number of exits found, and time it took. Ex: If you passed a lot of levels/exits in little time, that's better then someone who got less levels done, in the same amount of time, and still beat the game. So basically, time/#exits found. Also the smoother the game play, the better your chances. Technique, and (of course) speed, will raise your chances too.
If judges are under the impression that you submitted a TAS Speed-Run as non-TAS, you will be disqualified on the spot, and notified. We will be able to tell because only in TAS, you can command the game within a 15th of a second. So don't worry about making false impressions.
