What is a knockout race?

The race route is divided into several "legs." The fastest competitors to complete the leg will move on to the next leg. Those who fall behind will be eliminated. At the end of each leg, there is a break time to allow for everyone to finish. Everyone then starts the next leg at the same time.

Rules:
* You must be able to stream your game footage so that it can be rebroadcast. Audio is not necessary.
* You may play on console or use the following emulators: SNES9x v1.53, bsnes, Higan, Bizhawk, lsnes, no$sns. You may NOT use ZSNES or any version of SNES9x earlier than v1.53.
* You must be present in smwcommunity's Twitch chat.
	* A Google Form will be used to show that you are ready to begin the leg. Just type your username into the form and submit to ready up.
	* There will be a countdown for when to begin each leg. When you see the word "GO" you may start.
	* When you complete the leg, use the same Google Form to submit your username. Our system will mark you as finished for that leg. Each leg has a different ending condition, see below.
* You must complete each required level in the leg for it to count. Extra exits are permitted.
* You may collect powerups and/or Yoshi in between each leg. The only restriction is you may only enter levels you've already beaten in the previous legs.

The first leg will be a warmup leg--that is, no one will be eliminated. This is so everyone can be familiar with the system for the rest of the competition.

The amount of people eliminated per leg will be based upon how many participants there are, but here is a general idea of how many competitors will remain after each leg:
After     Total %       Bottom %      Total %
 Leg      Remain       Eliminated    Eliminated
  1        100             0            0
  2         90            10           10
  3         75            17           15
  4         65            13           10
