Yes, it's 197 frames faster at the point NitroGenesis left off (pressing Start to skip the penguin's text).
Looks pretty good. In Grand Central Station and the last level, you seem to bump into walls while you're jumping. Does that slow you down?
i'm pretty sure of it.
can somebody encode my wip?
and the reason is that i tried to encode it, but the system epic-failed.
Is this WIP faster than NitroGenesis' up to the point he's done?
If not, unless you want to do it for fun, there isn't much point continuing, because it won't be accepted for publication if it isn't optimised/has known improvements.

Notes:
- I think the Super Mario All-stars + SMW ROM is prefered. At least everybody else has been using it.
- You did not use the acceleration trick at the start of the level (it is present in SMB1/2j, I don't know about lost levels but it's probably present there too. Also note that I don't know about the differences between Mario and Luigi when it comes to game physics and being able to enter walls etc.). You may want to check the SMV of the published run.
- The way you grabbed the Mushroom in 1-1 looked inoptimal. Again, check the published run. Also note that the SMB2j version would use a trick to enter the floor and use a flagpole glitch (with Mario walking against pole). SMB2j and lost levels being different in some ways is what warrants SMB2j warpless having an own run, in my opinion, but then again I have no idea how warpless works in that game, I never played it.
- You did not use the normal Flag pole glitch (if at all possible with Luigi). Check the published run.
- Grabbing the Fire flower and navigating through the level in 1-2 looked inoptimal (setting up the flower, and bumping into pipes...).
- In 1-3, the published run avoids landing on a platform that moves the opposite way, though I don't know if avoiding it does save time (by 21frame-rule).
- Also, in 1-3 is where the published run gets the Fire flower. You should get it here too.
- In 1-4 you slowed down before one fire pillar which seems like it can be avoided. The set of walls near the end can also be handled better, see the published run. Why the need to bump into a platform?
- In 2-1, you bumped into the stairs.
- In 2-2, you slow down to hit a block and proceed across the midair pipe. The published run however jumps below the pipe and does a walljump.
- In 2-4, You did not go through the first wall like the published run does. Also, you slowed down at Bowser again.
hey, i'm just a newbie (or at least i was when i did this run)
