==== How do I record my speedruns? ====

Any recording method is fine for leaderboard verification, as long as the gameplay is clearly visible and the quality is not pixelated. A 720p or 1080p [[wikipedia:Video_capture|capture card]] is recommended, but recording gameplay with a phone or webcam is also allowed.

==== Why do players change their Switch's date and time before a speedrun? ====

This is to set up for a trick known as [[Daylight Savings Time Abuse]], which involves planting a [[seed]] just before the clock jumps forward an hour. If you're just starting out with speedrunning, it's recommended to become familiar with the route and do some runs before attempting to incorporate this trick.

==== I have another question. Where can I find an answer? ====

If you have a more specific question, try searching this wiki for a page that may have an answer! If you can't find anything here, you can find the relevant channel in the [https://discord.gg/smospeedruns speedrunning Discord server] and check the pinned messages there, or simply ask if you don't see what you need.
