FCEU 0.98.16 Aims for fastest time Uses no warps Abuses programming errors in the game You use a bug called “flag pole glitch” which can reduce 21 frame in almost stage. And you don’t use it only in 2-1, 8-3 because program will congratulate you (time is 346 and 243). It will lost much time. In stage 4-4, you use a bug called ”pass the wall”. In stage 7-1, you wait a little,and you use a bug called “legendary flagpole-stuck glitch” The reason why you become big Mario(level up) is that you can beat BOSS with bullet instead of destroy bridge. Then you can reduce some time.
I have to say as well, my first thought after watching this was thinking that the clone fight could be improved. However, not necessarily by speed, but by entertainment - it seems really unnecessary to get hit 6 times in the fight, is there no other way to get a perfect fight?

There's only a finite number of possible improvements (you can't improve a 1000 frame movie more than 1000 times)
