It only became 6.9 after you lowered your own rating (it was 6 before, then changed to 5). It's pretty dishonest to talk about dropping ratings when you're doing that by yourself.

By the way, why is the timing for SMB on the axe grab instead of the last input?
Tradition, essentially. Back in the very old years of the site, the first SMB movies ended on the axe grab, and some controversial attempts to "save time" by ending input earlier were rejected. Since then, it's effectively a tradition that all SMB movies end input on axe grab.

Oh so basically null and void in that case meaning there's no purpose to trim the file down since it's correct in the first place.
Neat.
No, it was not correct in the first place. The submission ends input several seconds after the axe grab. DarkDevil's truncated version correctly trims down the movie to the axe grab.

Also in regards to ending input it's less than 232 due to the fact that SMB has a different frame where input ends. It ends on the axe grab so you have to watch for that frame specifically.
There's no point in correcting the file either after what's been brought up.

While I have doubts the same thing will apply here, it's worth pointing out that there are categories in some games where restrictions are put in place, such as no BLJ in Super Mario 64 or no powerups, maximum exits in Super Mario World. These categories show new content and/or new strategies not seen in the other categories for a game.
With that in mind, the only way I see this submission getting published is as a restricted category (e.g. no L+R). As with all the others, it will need to be well-defined what the restrictions are and entertaining enough to make it into Moons.
As I'm relatively new here, though, I may be misunderstanding things. There's also no encoding right now to actually see it. Thoughts?
Just adding a restriction does not necessarily make a branch change, or at least not a sensible one. As put in the movie rules:
Movie Rules wrote:
• Arbitrary goal choices need to offer new TAS material to be accepted. Choices which have no goal other than to create a new game branch are rejected.
Only avoiding some minor tricks does not add any new TAS material. The restrictions do not generate any routing changes, content changes, or add anything new. It's just a slightly slower version of the normal run.
I watched both runs in emulator to be sure, but it's easy to see the closeness with the time alone. In fact, it's significantly closer than it appears at first: this movie appears six seconds slower, but it ends input significantly later, so the actual difference is only around two seconds.
Having a movie that looks almost exactly the same as an existing one, just two seconds slower, does not make a new category. It's not worth publishing alongside what we currently have.

I think there is a lot of value in "human theory" TAS's. Unlike most TAS's, these can serve as benchmarks and comparisons for speedrunners.
As such, I'd say this should be its own category.
All it is, is a normal TAS except slightly slower because a few relatively minor tricks are avoided. That can be of value to some speedrunners, but it's outside of the scope of TASVideos publications (which demands optimal quality and content variety).
It's useful to put a movie like this on userfiles as reference material. But it's not something that should be submitted or published.

I've been looking forward to a movie of this category for a long time. I'm really glad that you finally made one!
Execution and planning look top-notch, as usual. Obvious yes vote.
Personal highlight of the movie: dodging various levels of bullet hell at next to no HP throughout the Brauner fight

It looks like Bowser SDIs slightly left and down, which might cause him to hit the blast zone sooner than normal. He also doesn't DI/DIs straight down, though I don't know if that's normal. 20XX has customizable DI and SDI settings for the AI, which can affect events like this (I found out about this back when I made a TAS of Trouble Puff).
EDIT: Just compared the 20XX video and a tied WR video frame by frame, it's almost definitely SDI causing the difference.

Yeah, just keep the darkness glitches. They're a little annoying but far from ruining the whole viewing experience.

The total real time in gameplay counts up to just under 2:20 (as shown in the timing table in the submission), so that's two full minutes of non-gameplay in the movie (a few seconds of menuing, the rest of it bios, black screens, or loading screens), or ~46% of the total runtime. Classic PSX life.

Hi I want to share some minor information regarding "All Bosses" category.
The two Creatures in the Nest of Evil and the single Creature in Dark Academy share the same "defeat" flag; if beaten the Two Creatures in Nest of Evil first through sequence breaking the single one in Dark Academy will also disappear - the game will read as you have also beaten the boss in Dark Academy area and Dark Academy subsequent quests will also appear (=skipping the whole Dark Academy level).
Hope this will help improve "All Bosses" TAS category and/or a potential "1000% map completion" category.
I'm inclined to believe that skipping a boss would sort of go against the point of an "all bosses" category.

The best part of the improvement is the new thumbnail. Now the audience loses faster, too!

* In residential, could you use a cop for the EE glitch to get a higher per-kill bonus? Would that make a difference?
It would make a marginal difference. Most money is made from the EE bonuses and not so much the kills themselves. It might save a few frames during the EE-glitch itself, but this would not be worth the added difficulties in setting up a situation where a cop is pushed off the shore instead of a regular ped. (Peds help by running away to the shore, instead of cops either running towards you or not running at all respectively if you have a wanted level or not).
Theoretically the fastest ped to do the EE-glitch with would be an Elvis impersonator (as killing the same Elvis ped repeatedly grants both Elvis Has Left The Building and Expeditious Execution bonuses), but that takes much too long to both manipulate and set up (as they are very rare, particularly in PSX, and also don't run away to shores like regular peds).

In industrial, I was trying to look into ways to do the EE glitch while being able to survive, to save the hospital drive home. I theorized that maybe it's possible to get out of the car while doing the glitch by doing it parallel to the shore, but I've never been able to get it to work.
I don't think this would work, because to EE-glitch you need to have a car in mid-air (at least partially) and in such a case it's generally impossible to get the car back on the shore. It might be possible with a multi-car setup or taxi passenger setup, but setting up either of those would take far too long. And I guess it might also be possible with an unwalled corner setup...but the PSX version has all such locations in Industrial walled up at least partially, because the PSX port is crap.

Unlikely (but not out of the question). I have no plans for it, and I don't feel like it would be very rewarding for the amount of luck manipulation I would need to do for it.

I really like the idea of this one button challenge, and how it leads to some quite creative or unexpected solutions to be able to clear some of the levels. Very thoughtfully made. I give it a Yes.
