I didn't think you were save/quitting, so I didn't mention it.
If you're doing it, you want to also head east after finishing level 2 and activate the warp hole in front of the entrance to level 4. If you save/quit after that to return to level 2's entrance, that's faster. It lets you head straight from animal village to the keyhole after getting the angler key. If you don't, it's 9-10 secs off your time.
Do it wherever the speedruns mambo warp, etc etc.
I haven't thought about it much, so I don't have much more to say. Sorry. :/
Right now I'm scouring Ebay for images of carts to try to see if I can tell the versions apart.
[edit]k, out of all the photos of an original LA cart on ebay, I found two possible versions.
If I use
this as a possible standard for determining which version is which, then the equivalent on the LA cart would be the lettering going down the left side of the cart label.
version 0 example
version 1.1 example
This does make sense, as the screenwarp is supposed to work with all versions of the original. I'd always assumed any possible 1.2 was just really rare, and anybody who tried screenwarping with it just assumed it was his fault that he couldn't get it to work, or something.
Of course, if it's really rare, there'd probably be no photo of it on ebay to begin with. But I digress.
Either way, I'd just go with 1.0.
btw, graveworm: I
said that already. :P
