[00:01] <TASVideoAgent> New submission! Go and see #3524: kaizoman666's SNES Super Mario World "Fastest Coin" in 00:00.02 at http://tasvideos.org/3524S.html
[00:02] <ais523> "fastest coin"?
[00:02] <FractalFusion> 00:00.02?
[00:02] <rog> lol..
[00:02] <ais523> wait, .02 isn't fast enough to beat the title screen
[00:02] <Vampier> :P
[00:02] <FractalFusion> i couldn't even blink in that time
[00:02] <natt> fastest coin, huh
[00:02] <ais523> I bet it just leaves it playing at the title screen and Mario picks up the coin in the demo
[00:02] <ais523> .02 is one frame, rounded to the nearest 100th of a second
[00:02] <rog> yeah
[00:02] <ais523> so it's starting the game and letting demo-Mario complete the category
[00:02] <ais523> nice how you can reconstruct the entire input file from the IRC notification :)

April fool's or not, this is great, and should be published.

Despite this being submitted as an April Fool's run, I found it entertaining and well made. The ending was worth watching unspoiled. It's worth publishing. Great job!

Can't do any songs during howling, or anything interesting :(
During the first two bars or so, i can do basically anything, as long as i stop on the proper note at the right time, but all of the rest need to be done almost perfectly right to count. How sad.

Just made it back to sacred grove, a total of 10.15 seconds faster than before. Thanks to paraxade for the detailed critique of my last wip. I'll probably post a new wip when i reach the forest temple.

Oh, hm, that could very well be the case. I need to warp back twice. So i guess if that is the requirement for opening the warp, i do need to fight them.

I can save ~7 seconds by skipping the twilight messengers after getting the master sword (by going oob in the same place as i do for EMS, and walking around the barrier). Is there any particular problem with skipping them, or should i do this? Why was this not done in any of the real time runs?

15:20: Video seems to be removed <_< but apparently you can clip through this gate by locking onto a bug on the other side and jumping at it to go through.
Any more info on this? I can't seem to do it.
edit: figured it out, thanks to zero. It seems to require at least two jumps, to make the gate swing, and then a second to clip through. And even then, requires the bug to be in a perfect position, and they can't be manipulated at all before i get to the gate, since they stand still until i scare them away. Furthermore, even if i manage to clip through perfectly without wasting any time, i'd also have to deal with the bugs not being right on top of each other. Even if all of this would be possible to do, my time would be better spent trying to improve goat herding. It'd be neat to include, but i really don't see it happening.

@rog: What's your point?
@Acheron86: The point of testing on the NTSC-J version is to see if I can find anything new that could be exploited. Or any version differences.. I already did hours of glitch hunting on NTSC-U.

HOW DO PEOPLE DO THIS IN REAL TIME!?
This shit is almost as bad as goats. Might be able to save like 5 more frames here, but goddamn do i not want to keep doing this.
