This took way too long to make (because of the pixel trick being hard)..
Problems! 
   The description is way too short
Nach: A nice movie. However, just crashing the game is no proper objective. This is a demonstration of an in game glitch, not something which really shows off TAS'ing. Rejecting.

Wow, that's actually really impressive. Good job freaking out the game with such optimization! Screw it, I'll go with a Yes vote.
Used to be a frequent submissions commenter. My new computer has had some issues running emulators, so I've been here more sporadically. Still haven't gotten around to actually TASing yet... I was going to improve Kid Dracula for GB. It seems I was beaten to it, though, with a recent awesome run by Hetfield90 and StarvinStruthers. (http://tasvideos.org/2928M.html.) Thanks to goofydylan8 for running Gargoyle's Quest 2 because I mentioned the game! (http://tasvideos.org/2001M.html) Thanks to feos and MESHUGGAH for taking up runs of Duck Tales 2 because of my old signature! Thanks also to Samsara for finishing a Treasure Master run. From the submission comments:
Shoutouts and thanks to mklip2001 for arguably being the nicest and most supportive person on the forums.

That went by surprisingly quickly. I'd actually love a technical explanation of what happens to the game

Did not expect that......I too would love an explanation of the mechanics behind the glitch. Voting YES.
If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before :P

I used the pause glitch which was first documented by me on the 17th of January 2011 here. Basicly, when there is game lag, pauses may cause the game to glitch up. The more lag there is, the greater the likelihood that rapid pausing will make the game reset itself or hang. Aside from crashing, it can often cause blocks (breakable or solid) to be created right above Mario's head - or broken - or you can see a coin flip with nothing else special happening. Thus, this trick can be used to finish the game by only visiting the first level. Only very rarely, something else might happen. This glitch might have the potential to allow us to finish the game in 20 seconds, but it's not well understood yet and all I did so far was random testing.

That was very awesome. However, you seem to break blocks in the "ROM" area of the map, which has been said to be illegitimate on an actual gameboy. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Sage advice from a friend of Jim: So put your tinfoil hat back in the closet, open your eyes to the truth, and realize that the government is in fact causing austismal cancer with it's 9/11 fluoride vaccinations of your water supply.

The first two rows of garbage are not ROM, they are ever-changing echo RAM (or whatever you call it) - hence why I navigate through that section so weirdly. At 2:04, for example, I pause a few times to make the two rows of garbage keep solid while Mario zips through. At 2:11, I touch a coin but the address doesn't seem to change - so I guess no write occured? At 2:20, I think it's another block that doesn't change. I could check it when I have the time and motivation. Also, I _might_ be able to get my hands on a v1.0 catridge sometime soon, so I can get to testing on a real console - that is, if the person that I came into touch with doesn't randomly disappear from the internet in the future.

Interesting crash. I was confused until I read your explanation. I wouldn't have guessed the problem was lag, what with so few sprites on screen. Also, the repeating audio sounds like the sound effect when Kirby has one health point left/low health.

I think that level-1 run is arguably submittable as a glitched low%, if you optimise it. (The game counts completed exits as an indication of progress, doesn't it? And you don't complete any exits.)
