Author's comments and explanations:
This is an improvement of 1433 frames (23.88 seconds) over the previous submission.

Emulator used - SNES9x 1.43 v9

  • Aims for fastest time
  • Uses warps
  • Probably some other stuff

Improvements

  • Misty Isle 1 - Better running start.
  • Castle #1 - Optimized pipe entry and keep-flight door entry.
  • Crystal Star World - Glitch Yoshi wings for a big improvement. (Don't blink)
  • Sky Star World - Get faster-than-normal flying speed from the cloud.
  • Pipe Star World - Better tactics with keeping flight through pipes.
  • BackDoor Star World - Flying below the ground earlier after getting the key

General lag reduction by actions within the levels and a more optimized score route.

Let's Try Bonus Game

  • Pipe Star World - Yoshi can't normally enter these pipes, but the first two can be entered with Yoshi anyway. Other goofy things happen. If Yoshi could get to the key box, a similar shortcut to Crystal Star World could be used.
  • Bowser Star World - If Yoshi can make it through Pipe Star World, and with a shell in the reserve box, the raft here can be skipped from the beginning. Getting the reserve shell requires a major route change.
  • Backdoor Star World - Using the key to surf the lava underneath the spikes turned out to be a bit slower, but very cool looking.

Extra thanks go to DK64_MASTER, thegreginator, Cardboard, and ChanServ.


Bisqwit: Good looking movie, but it comes at least 32 frames short of optimal time as pointed out by Chef Stef et al. Please resubmit when you have fixed the needlessly long delay at 7:21. (I don't know how that is done, but I suppose the resources for figuring that out that are out there.)
Reverting that action due to MAJOR PROTESTING.
I will step away from handling this submission unless someone decides to have it published. (I have already made an AVI.)
