Should there be a short section about SM64 speedrunning?

Speedrunning has risen greatly in popularity and SM64 is arguably the most important and popular game for speedrunning. It was important in the rise of twitch and livestreaming (where for a time runners like Siglemic had the most popular streams on the whole site). New world records and strategies garner lots of attention, and there is a large community. I think a short section should be added.

Urban legends section

Sm64 has lots of urban legends and as soon as i found out there is not really anything on this topic we should make a full new artcal or add a section on this Fall guys rules (talk) 22:48, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We have a section already: Super Mario 64#Rumors, conspiracy theories, and glitches. Urban legends that are original research or otherwise not covered by reliable sources should not be added. ThomasO1989 (talk) 23:09, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
