Technically an improvement of one of the oldest runs on the site, this TAS aims to complete all levels and overworld enemy battles as fast as possible.

The run features tricks and strategies not seen in the current warpless run, and is worth checking out even if you're already familiar with that run.

PHOTOSENSITIVITY WARNING: There are flashing lights throughout the run (most notably when Boom Boom is defeated and after the wand is retrieved) which may cause epileptic seizures to those affected.

The YouTube and downloadable encodes include the author's commentary as soft subtitles. These can also been seen in the fm2 file, and in this encode on Tompa's personal Youtube channel.

And if watching this TAS on an emulator isn't satisfying enough, why not see it played back on a real console!
