Welcome to the SDA Strategy Wiki, where you can find or contribute information about tricks, routes, boss strategies, and planning in general. If a game you're trying to find isn't here, then feel free to make a page for it using the instructions below. If you don't know of any tricks for the game, you might find these pages useful:

How to add a game
To add a game to the wiki type "http://speeddemosarchive.com/kb/index.php/Game Name Here" (without the quotes) in your browser's url bar or simply search for the game name in the search box. You will be told the page doesn't exist, and you can edit/create the page by clicking "edit" in the row of tabs near the top of the page, or the "create this page" link on the search page. If you're writing about a series of games, then add (series) to the right of the game name. Writing for series of games only works if the games share similar engines such as Metal Slug and Mega Man X 1-3 (or 4-6).
IMPORTANT: Insert [[Category:Games]] and [[Category:consolethegameison]] into your game page, or else your page will not appear on the games and consoles lists!
If your game has a run page on SDA, use the {{sda run}} template at the top of the page. Here's an example of what to add at the top of a new page:
[[Category:Nintendo 64]]
[[Category:Games]]
{{sda run|http://speeddemosarchive.com/DonkeyKong64.html}}
After doing the above, your game will be automatically added to the game list.
Games
This section is for games and series.
Engines
This section is for games sharing a similar engine (Unreal, Infinity).
If you're confused about what this means, Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale fall into this category because they both share the same engine, the Infinity engine; despite being different games, they both use the same engine, and therefore many similar tricks can be exploited. However, Mario games do not fall into this category. Even though games such as SMB 1-3 are all in the same series and for NES, the engine is different in each game, and thus tricks in one game cannot be applied to another.
- Infinity Engine (Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Planescape: Torment)
