This Mega Man 2-minute video was created by tra in 2008. The video mainly makes some optimizations and changes based on the woabclf recording. For example, in Quick Man’s stage, there’s delayed scrolling at the end of the level and the placement of Item 1 is used for faster movement. There are also some optimizations in certain levels, like having Gear Man switch to the Leaf Shield weapon at the start to save a weapon swap, and in Bubble Man’s stage using Item 2 to get through quickly. In Castle 1, the green dragon’s delayed scrolling time and height were optimized. In Castle 2, the boss is fought using Gear weapon to save weapon energy and avoid an extra menu swap and energy refill. Since there was the woabclf recording as a reference, I improved about a minute and a bit on top of that, so some of the optimizations and improvements are pretty obvious.

Darkman425: This one is pretty straightforward. A few extra time saving tricks, including the "walkies through blockies" glitch (I'm pretty sure that's what it was called at one point?) and some overall better optimization makes this faster than the current publication. Nice work!
