adelikat: Better than your first submission huh? At least you are honest about the fact that you were banned and used a new account to prevent it.

I like this hack. However, even not being a SMB expert, I can see this run being faster. For example, in 1-3 (I think) you take time to kill a koopa before heading to the flag pole, and there was no reason to do so. Also there are some times when you take damage when you should have been able to avoid it, especially against the last Bowser. You also tend to do different things in the few sections that are identical to another level. I'm giving a meh, since this hack seems pretty good (even with the small parts that repeat) and you use a lot of good techniques, but you could definitely make it faster.

What?
http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

Actually, he doesn't use warps. He just wrote it wrong, I guess. Anyway, I don't really like hacks that you are supposed to use bugs to finish it, although I like your design choices that doesn''t involve using bugs just to complete the game. Your hack have some interesting concepts mixed with game bugs. ...aaand your run is not optimal, I see you hadn't used the flagpole glitch, for example. No from me, sorry
My first language is not English, so please excuse myself if I write something wrong. I'll do my best do write as cleary as I can, so cope with me here =) (ノಥ益ಥ)ノ
