I guess I should have come forward sooner... I was only working on this as a fun side project that I would eventually submit.
Edit: I've been PM'ing with jimsfriend, and after watching his run, I have decided to let him continue working, without my help. He has a lot of unexpected tricks and glitches in his run... My run wasn't nearly as interesting, nor as fast. With that said, I've decided to post my run for your interest. As stated in a previous post, it goes up to the Red Switch Palace, and is 46 seconds ahead of JXQ & Fabian's run.

Two of the most major tricks I used were: left/right in Sky World 2, and skipping the p-switch in Pipe World 2. Other than that, I just followed and optimized JXQ and Fabian's run. Expect much more from jimsfriend's run - I won't spoil any of the clever tricks he uses. I hope everybody enjoys my run as a sort of teaser for jimsfriend's completed run :)
