I tried the shortcut at level 7-4 but i thought it was impossible and tried it again at level C-4 and made it first time lol. If i remerber right those letters in level 9-4 means Arigato. and in level 4-4 cant shoot bowser before i get close because bowser shoot those fire things and marios fireballs hits to them. but i tried again at level 6-4 and i got to slow down on the last jump because im not ducking(so i can shoot fireballs) and its saves 7 frames.
so i start redoing this run from level 6-4.

I finished worlds 9 and A-D but theres still one thing to be improved...
in level C-4(remake of level 7-4) i discovered shortcut(wall ceiling) which can be used at 7-4 too(saves 75 frames).

I started the run again and just finished world 2 and its 177 frames faster than version 3(mostly because flagpole trick = jumping backwards on the flagpole saves 25 frames but only 10 in level 2-3 because cant jump high enough) and 650 frames faster than version 2.

Thanks for the comments.
1) Killing Bowser with Firepower may be quicker than hitting the axe to break the bridge.
Oh just watched nes version and it seems to save a lot of time.
2) Some places where you jumped onto a high block (8-3 for example), you lost momentum by running into the block before getting on top of it. This may be avoidable by getting an earlier running start to jump earlier, which may be faster (I didn't test anything though).
yeah i noticed that too, i do it better next time
3) In one of the levels, you delayed hitting the flagpole for a second. Are there fireworks or something similar in this game?
yes. in levels 1-2, 5-3 and 8-2 i got to lose 1 timeunit to avoid fireworks(saved some frames).
4) There is a different way to accelerate in the NES/FDS versions of Mario, by jumping backwards. I don't know if it's possible and/or faster in this version or not.
ok thanks i try it
in 7-3 falling directly in another springer would make you lose speed or something?
i need fall it with good speed to get longer jump... but i think this part can be improved.
But those are minor observations - overall this looks very good. I hope you have the time to finish it!

I tried this game again after few months and now finished it 11:28
Would you mind posting what your time was (and what timing rules you used)?
I recorded movie by snes9x and stopped it when i was finished(record from reset).
I also tried 96-exits run and get 02:00:49
Edit: Faster time 11:42 -> 11:28

Rules are simple:
No Re-recording or Slowdown
There is few big mistakes
If somebody try to do speedrun in this game i would like to see it
so i hope you upload your movie.
