Around 2400 when you unlock the 4th security lock, was it not possible to manipulate a power bomb drop from one of the green enemies below to clear that path? Would it be quicker? I haven't played the hack, so I'm just playing devil's advocate here.

I apologize for the confusion but A Runnelid clarified for me. (thank you) Going to the Toad Houses is not the problem. For example, the English run didn't visit Level 1-3 or 1-4, the Japanese one did. My problem is that a non-100% run replaced a 100% run; only a 100% run that was somehow faster than a non-100% run would ever make it on this site since it is considered the same type of run. A non-100% run is always going to be faster than a 100% run. Perhaps 100% is a poor choice of words, "all-level" may be more accurate description.

I certainly don't find starting and ending each level as small Mario to be necessary. I believe the author/player did that more for effect than by rule. I just don't think this new movie is comparable to the earlier one. It's like comparing a SMW video where they complete the game without even visiting the Star World to a 96-star run. I read that someone is doing an every-level run of SMB3. Most likely that run will go longer than this one. Under these current conditions, that run will never be published because it didn't beat 4829 (the length of this run) and therefore didn't break the record. Personally, I think there should be a quickest run, a warpless run, and a 100% run.

I'm not taking anything away from this fine movie, but I don't think this movie should necessarily nullify its predecessor. They seem like two different movies with two different goals. The former's goal was to beat every level in the game while this one's goal was to beat the game without warping. Although I GREATLY appreciate the avoidance of the 5-up every three levels that the previous one had.
