        <h3 id="c3">Unspecified Actions</h3>
        <p>Actions that are not explained in the game itself.</p>
        <h4>Save Data Erase</h4>
        <p>Pressing the Select button on the data selection screen will bring up a confirmation screen for data deletion.</p>
        <h4>Soft Reset</h4>
        <p>Press L + R + Start + Select at the same time to reset the game.</p>
        <h4>Leave a Milky Way Wishes stage:</h4>
        <p>Open the pause menu and press L or R to exit the stage.</p>
        <p>(This only works on stages that were previously cleared)</p>
 
<h2>Speedrun Rules</h2>
 
        <h3>Main Category Rules</h3>
        <h4>Any%</h4>
        <p>In any%, players compete to beat Milky Way Wishes as fast as possible.</p>
        <p>Timing begins when a file is selected, and ends on the final hit of Marx.</p>
        <p>The only sub-games that need to be cleared to beat the game are Dyna Blade, Great Cave Offensive, Revenge of Meta Knight, and Milky Way Wishes.</p>
        <h4>100%</h4>
        <p>In 100%, players compete to beat the game to 100% completion as fast as possible.</p>
        <p>Runners are encouraged to show the file select screen to prove 100% completion at the end of the speedrun.</p>
        <p>Timing begins when a file is selected, and ends when the "Winner" text stops scrolling once The Arena is completed.</p>
 
        <h3>Other Category Rules</h3>
        <h4>The Arena</h4>
        <p>Players compete for the fastest completion time in The Arena, based on the time given by the game once The Arena is won.</p>
        <p>This time isn't in real time, as this in-game timer stops during fade-outs, when in the rest area, and for animations when obtaining a copy ability.</p>
        <p>RNG manipulation is possible in The Arena, with most setups for manipulation being done before the run starts. </p>
 
        <h3>Individual Level Speedruns</h3>
        <p>Speedruns for the individual sub-games can be performed.</p>
        <p>They are not as popular as full-game speedruns.</p>
        <p>There are no specific regulations for TASes, as IL runs are disallowed on TASVideos.org.</p>
 
        <h3>Category Extensions</h3>
        <p>Speedruns that are not meant to be taken as competitively as the main board.</p>
        <p>Majority are meant to be funny and are not taken seriously.</p>
        <p>Category Extensions include:</p>
        <ul>
            <li>2 Player - Allows the use of a second controller.</li>
            <li>Softlock% - Softlock the game as quickly as possible.</li>
            <li>Low% - Beat the game with the lowest file percentage possible.</li>
        </ul>
        <p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.speedrun.com/kss_ce">Link to Category Extensions leaderboard</a></p>
 
        <h3>About the Rules</h3>
        <h4>Game Resets</h4>
        <p>In full-game speedruns, there are some points in the game where performing a soft reset can skip cutscenes to save time (such as after defeating Dyna Blade, or during the credits in 100%)</p>
        <p>As of November 8th, 2022, resetting the game to save time is allowed, as runs before this date were not allowed to reset.</p>
        <ul>
            <li>On Speedrun.com, this is indicated by the "Resets" column. A run labeled "Yes" implies that the run uses soft-resetting.</li>
            <li>100% runs were split between two categories before this leaderboard change ("Resets Allowed" and "No Reset"), due to many runners finding it odd to need to watch the entire credits sequence.</li>
            <li>Both 100% categories were combined into one single category after the rule change.</li>
        </ul>
        <h4>2 Player, Simultaneous Up + Down / Left + Right inputs</h4>
        <p>In RTA speedruns, 2 player and simultaneous D-pad inputs are prohibited on the main board.</p>
        <p>2 player categories exist on the category extension leaderboard.</p>
        <p>Simultaneous D-pad inputs have been used in RTA runs, but does not have a leaderboard. Performing on real console can be done through controller modification, but playing on emulator with a keyboard is ideal.</p>
        <p>For more information, see <a href="../glitches/simultaneous-dpad.html">Simultaneous D-pad input bug</a>.</p>
        <p>In TAS runs, unless otherwise specified, 2 player and simultaneous D-pad inputs are allowed.</p>
