Depending on what you press, it either freezes to a salmon-colored screen (with or without enemies) or warps you to the Level 1 (Vegetable Valley) intro and then freezes on a white screen.
You also have an second controller, or even the four score. These controller inputs can also affect it.

Post #348723 : you are awesome Masterjun!
Here's my last effort on Masterjun's latest attempt. (read description here and there):
I think the slope clipping could be improvable. Anything other than that part, I couldn't optimize furthermore.
edit: 2 frames shaved off by better wallclipping. will upload soon

This is some very weird game.
Fastest movement is bunny-hopping without the Mech. You move about 1.34 pixels/frame with this technique. Normal walking has an momentum of 1.2 and the Mech a maximal velocity of 1.0. But bunny-hopping on low ceilings is slower.
On rope or a ladder don't press anything. Falling is faster than climbing down.
It's possible to shoot in any direction while bunny-hopping without loosing time. There are a few frame you can shoot before hitting the ground without loosing a frame.
If you outrun the screen, due to high speed, the game reloads the segment of the level where you last were.
WIP

Don't use the ingame-timer for timing. Use the frame count, this is more precise.
You also may have a look at how the game-mechanics work. Using RAM watch is the best use.

I decided to join this frame war so here is my 2183 frames run (3 frames faster than current). I optimized the jump through the slope which might can be optimized even more (AAAAH LAG)
Very nice. did you just improve the slope jump part? or did you use MESHUGGA's first room improvement as well?

So you only worked 3 days on this project. This is the time an experienced TASer would spend on planning and research of a TAS of this lenght. And then they work at least two weaks on their run.
It also takes some time until someone post an answer to the forums.

Also I have a few questions still I'm a noob at this game:
- What are the conditions to "eat something and start the power up roulette"?
- Is the 1st room is the only place where you can gather stone? I think 3rd room would be much better
- How the **** does the RNG works?
1st: Kirby needs to inhale two enemies at the same time.
2nd: I think it would be slower, since the distance of two enemies is greather than in the first room.
3rd: The RNG can manipulated with jumping.

edit: here's 1 frame improvement to level 1-1 for MUGG's version http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/7004496063748235
Have absolutely no idea it really saves frame for the TAS (it loads the next level 1 frame earlier). Looking forward the next TAS to optimize.
There's to much lag. I only got finished the second room 7 frames later.

Yay, I 38.44. I try to sqeez out more frames.
Edit: It is also possible to perform the clipping glitch with just one jump, you have to be very precise with the subpixels.
