It's a nice run, interesting to watch, but the hack itself doesn't seem good enough to me.
As a SMB hacker, I love difficult-designed levels so much because they are so challenging. But I don't think the level design of Kaizo Mario World is that great. It's not that difficult but only famous. There are hacks like Item Abuse and VIP series that are way more well-designed than this one, and their TASes looks very amazing.
So I voted no. It's only my opinion. I'd really like to hear from Mister about this one.

That video's frame rate is extremely low. It looks like it was recorded at 10 fps or something close to that. This is what everyone else sees, right?
Sorry, the frame rate of screen recording was pretty low at that time, because this is not a TAS, and the game would run slower if I increased the frame rate while recording.
I'm a bit curious about how you've managed to find that video. :)

It seems to me that Baidu is not a good choice for video uploading. Low frame rate, low quality, low downloading speed... And what's more, videos on Baidu has been often "missing", sometimes deleted. Like it has happend 2 months ago, all videos marked with "5.0", "500" has been deleted by Baidu for unknown reasons. One more thing, Baidu does not support videos longer than 10 minutes.
I used to upload on Baidu, but now I hardly do that. Instead, what about Tudou.com? Many Chinese TASers uses that, too, way more than Baidu and Sina.

It's only my opinion, but could you contact with ISM about it? He might love to join the team, and he's half-finished WIP would make your work a lot easier. It's a pity to see his unfinished great work thrown away just like that.
And of course, I'd really love to see your first WIP coming soon!

I am also concerned about the 96-exit run. How's the project going anyway? I'm dying to see a new 96-exit run in this year!
I don't know if ISM would ever want to continue his project on 96-exit, but I hope he won't quit just like that, for I really love his WIPs.

A pure SMB walkathon was already replaced by a warpless version of walkathon by Mars, which provides lots of new and interesting things that haven't shown in other TASes, and I think that's not easy to be replaced by other kinds TASes of SMB.

Well why would I want to revenge? I'd just like to know whether TASVideos would accept a TAS that copies inputs of others, because it's the first time I see something like that happens here.

Here's a problem... KFCMario has stolen my ENTIRE key inputs from the second stage in 1-2, without declaring or telling me first.
Here's my WIP. It was done 1 year ago, and I only sended it to Mars as I remembered.
http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/442848143/Luigi.fcm
It was paused till 4-1 because I found 5 different places to get the flower, and they all end up with the same time. I believed that there must be at least 1 way to save 21 frames from the flower.
It was a bit shocked when I found that KFCMario has used my inputs in his TAS. I do believe I have successfully saved 21 frames in 1-2, which should be in this submission, too, but it isn't in the submission text.
His action of getting the mushroom seems a lot like mine, too. I remembered that Mars has told him that I got the mushroom in a very strange way, but I don't know if Mars has sended my WIP to him.
I feel strange, that's all. I don't think it's appropriate to copy others' input without credit or notification, and I'm not sure if anyone's agree with me. I don't know what to do, either.

It could happen anywhere where there are lifts and a enemy (not just bullet bills). "Sometimes" means that one of the lifts are off the screen and the enemy takes its place. It's not just "happened" to be like that.
In order to answer both 2 and 3, I think memory researching is probably necessary.

How come it doesn't save time? I feel that going straight (while slowing down a slight bit) would be a lot faster than going around...
When going through the wall, the speed would turn to zero, and don't forget that you need to speed up to enter the pipe. That would take a lot of time.

Sorry for my English, I can only offer some short answers, not too technical.
1. It's because the bullet bill has got the property of one of the lifts.
2. I've only seen enemies turning into Koopa shells (dead), and spinies turned into Koopas. It's probably a property error I guess.
3. I don't really know what causes that, but the situation can be kept if Mario keeps jumping and jumping. I think mostly it's a simple graphic error.

Something I've always wondered... Would it be possible to go through the wall in 8-4 after the water part? You know, the tiny area where you have to go on top of the wall that is partly eating the pipe. Couldn't you just get through the wall and shave a bit of time?
Of course it's possible. But it could only save a bit distance, and it couldn't save time. I've tested it before.

Well, me and Mars are working on this. And we believe there are more improvements. But since this is already an improvement, I'm going to vote yes, and there will be a faster version coming soon this year.
Actually I told Mars that 63 frames can be saved in by using the mushroom and go through the ground. And I remember that I also saved 21 frames in 1-2.

Having watched both of your WIPs, I'd say this is totally awesome. Great improvements to one of my favorite games indeed! Yes vote!
Edit: Excuse me, but I can't wait to watch an encode for the last few levels. :)

Having watched the run, I'd say this game truly is a better choice than SMB. This movie is different than the current SMB3 speedrun, and has its clever parts.
I think Brandon has shown us that MP TASes can be interesting in its way, nicely done!
But because most of the run still seems a little tardy for a TAS to me, so meh vote.

I've seen a video soewhere showing impressive SMB lag glitches, the name was in Japanese and it was on youtube. Can anyone post a link?
Sorry, could you describe more detailedly about what kind of lag is that? I'm interested in all kinds of glitches in SMB.

Congratulations on your first submission here, KFCMario!
Having watched 7-4, I particularly love the run. Those are all good improvements. I will watch the whole run in no time and bring more comments.
Edit: Very good indeed. I enjoy watching it. The entertainment can be improved from my point of view by more accurate jumping and enemy manipulation, but it's good enough to be published here of course. Yes vote.
Edit 2: I think this submission should be added a "warpless" branch, shouldn't it?

If everything works this will save 2 presses, and even if you have to jump twice at 2:50 it will save one press!
The problem is that you need to jump three times: 1 to get over the Koopas, 1 to get over the Goombas, and 1 to get over the pipe. I'm pretty sure I've tested this before. So, unless you're right about small Mario being able to jump to the warp pipe in one jump, which is worth testing but I would imagine unlikely because the difference in height is probably not enough, your strategy would at best match mine, and would probably waste time maneuvering around the Piranha Plant. Thanks for the suggestions, though!
What about pressing down before meeting the koopa, and waiting for the koopa and 3 goombas go off the cliff? I'll probably test this later.
Edit: Having tested it, I found it hard to see those goombas.
Edit2: The good news is, at least my trick in 4-2 works, having saved another 1 press.

Maybe it's experience, I guess.
PS: How about we talking privately on PM, and let judges do their work?

I have a feeling that I might find something. After all, world 8 truly is a big world. But I'll try to improve 4-2 first.
Well, the point is, if don't want to complete the run, and are willing to get me up to World 8, I'll complete it. If you find any improvements, I'll implement them while still getting all the manipulation to work.
Well, how about we both try to find improvements, and both do the manipulation work? Then we may be able to get better result. I'll try the manipulation work of 8-2 and 8-3 myself, too.

I'm not really angry with Brandon's movie (well Mars seemed a lot angrier than I did). I was just arguing about whether it should be published on this site.
