    Super Metroid Relay Race 2026 Information
  2. 2
  3. 3
    Explanation:
  4. 4
    There will be 4 teams of 9 people. Each person on the team will run one entire category from start to finish. Once this person has completed their category, they will wait until ITEM COLLECTION PERCENT has shown up, then the next person on their team will begin to run their assigned category. For example, if someone is running 100%, the first category of the relay, their teammate that is running low% will start their run as soon as the final item collection percent shows up on the credits scene. This will be coordinated via "srl-ish" commands in the Relay discord. An admin will count down in #announcements for 100% runners (the first category of the relay), and runners will .done in their respective team channels to let the next runner know when to begin. It is recommended to give the next runner a heads up before your percentage (such as when DEER FORCE shows up in the credits), but not required.

    Rules regarding playing:
  15. 15
  16. 16
    Important Note: For ALL categories during the relay, regardless of skill level or confidence in your abilities, deaths or major setbacks happen. To have the relay run as smoothly as possible, the admins are requesting that ALL runners make backup saves DURING THE RUN something so that in case of death or some other catastrophe, there is a quick way to jump back into the relay without having to completely restart. This does not mean savestates are allowed or are to be used. You are REQUIRED to make a MINIMUM of 3 saves during the run (but are of course welcome to take more than 3). Every category and every runner is subject to these rules. There will be a 1 minute time penalty assessed for each save not taken.

    Rules regarding streaming:
  19. 19
    You will be streaming your game to a WHIP server in OBS (NOT normally to twitch). Please stream only game audio and only game feed. if you have follower/sub/donation alerts, please turn them off for the duration of your run. Please be available up to an hour before your run is scheduled to start. The time estimates we've established for this relay are VERY generous, and it is VERY likely your team will be ahead of estimated start times.
