Wow amazing that someone made a TAS of this game, i was doing it too! I got demotivated still in level 16, but i did a lot of research and I made a Lua script that could help you a lot. In order to display extra info i used the ball image and the tilemap image, make sure to get these and put in the same folder of the script. I have a RAM map too, i could paste here if you want. Some things i noticed while watching the run: • In level 42, you could reach the last heart early by going Out Of Bounds, which is simply done by clipping into the right side of the screen, the "barrier" is simply a wall of breakable blocks! And it's easy to get back, I'll make a better explanation of Out of Bounds later. • It seems that you didn't find out that you can get an extra speed if you bounce on a wall going left: the top x speed to the right is 8 pixels/frame, but to the left it's 9 pixels/frame, and when you hit a wall your speed value is negated, combining these 2 properties, you negate the left top speed into the right speed by simply hitting a wall to the left and immediately holding right. Knowing changed the way i did some levels, so i guess there's plenty of room for this trick. Great run, i loved this game, sad that it doesn't have music (hard to make soundtrack while making so many levels in a Jam). I'm sure we could improve this run.

Amaraticando made a generic resourceful script for Lsnes, perhaps it may inspire you making a BizHawk version.

Easy the most amazing TAS of this decade for me. Always come to mind when I think about TAS in general, and I used it as example when trying to show friends what a TAS is.

I always want to participate but always end up with no free time to really work on inputs. So, as in the last 3 editions, i'll just do my research if the game is interesting, this time not joining a team. This said, is it ok to post here my findings so everyone can (if is the case) benefit from it?

Oh that totally makes sense, thanks for explaining. Not worth worrying about such a small detail. It's already the best rewind I ever used, it's smooth and the sound in reverse without glitching is great.

Speaking of which, is there a particular reason (or limitation) to make the hold rewind take effect only after you hold the hotkey for 1 second? Rewind 10secs and 1min are instantaneous.

Just to make clear for anyone else interested: You use this function with a x,y coordinate and a text as arguments, and you'll probably will put it inside your script loop. This is for BizHawk and its default gui.text font, but can easily be adapted to other fonts and emus. Example: 
Language: lua
local test_text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aliquam rhoncus, mauris quis dapibus maximus, felis mi dapibus mauris, quis pulvinar lectus risus sed metus. Suspendisse id libero sed metus scelerisque maximus id sed est. Mauris iaculis justo vel neque euismod, a semper sapien consectetur. Nam vitae consequat tortor, nec efficitur purus. Proin porttitor libero tellus, sed mattis diam rutrum et. Curabitur ut dui ex. Sed nec nulla nec sapien tempus viverra. Ut ut sollicitudin nisi. Sed in sem ut erat ullamcorper interdum id et diam. Nulla eu tempus nisl. Phasellus eu nisi eget neque placerat viverra eu quis leo. Morbi vehicula est massa, sit amet sodales ligula blandit ut. Phasellus egestas ipsum eu vulputate tincidunt. Mauris gravida risus in malesuada malesuada."

while true do
  
  draw_text_wrap(128, 0, test_text)
  
  emu.frameadvance()
  
end
You can see the result of this example in this image. Now I realised it doesn't consider any symbol (like commas), but the fix should be easy.

Is there a way for the rest of the text to go automatically underneath blablabla
I made a function, give it a try: 
Language: lua
-- Font settings
local BIZHAWK_FONT_WIDTH = 10
local BIZHAWK_FONT_HEIGHT = 14

-- Text wrap function
local function draw_text_wrap(x, y, text)
  
  local text_table = {}
  for word in string.gmatch(text, "%a+") do table.insert(text_table, word) end
  
  local x_pos, y_pos = x, y
  local limit = client.screenwidth()
  
  -- Fit 1st word
  if x_pos + string.len(text_table[1])*BIZHAWK_FONT_WIDTH > limit then x_pos = limit - string.len(text_table[1])*BIZHAWK_FONT_WIDTH ; y_pos = y_pos + BIZHAWK_FONT_HEIGHT end
  gui.text(x_pos, y_pos, text_table[1])
  x_pos = x_pos + (string.len(text_table[1]) + 1)*BIZHAWK_FONT_WIDTH
  
  -- Fit the other words
  for i = 2, #text_table do
    if x_pos + string.len(text_table[i])*BIZHAWK_FONT_WIDTH > limit then
      x_pos = x
      y_pos = y_pos + BIZHAWK_FONT_HEIGHT
      
      if x_pos + string.len(text_table[i])*BIZHAWK_FONT_WIDTH > limit then x_pos = limit - string.len(text_table[i])*BIZHAWK_FONT_WIDTH end
      
    end
    gui.text(x_pos, y_pos, text_table[i])
    x_pos = x_pos + (string.len(text_table[i]) + 1)*BIZHAWK_FONT_WIDTH
  end
  
end
There's probably other [better] ways to do that, this is the one that first came to mind

I think it's a valid submission since it's a bootleg of a very popular game. Sad that it's this short, it's quite impressive for the NES system. A yes with little to none entertainment.

I have no doubts that this run should be on this site, so yes! It's a high-level piece of technical work, and if it's possible on real hardware it definitely deserves recognition. However, as other people mentioned, this is a deeper version of game end glitch, so it should have its own branch.

I guess Tomb of the Mask was inspired by this game
Actually it seems the opposite, since TotM was realease in 2016. Anyways, it's such a cool gameplay, both games are very creative and soutracks are great. That's a nice run, EZGames!

I'm used to watch on Youtube for some reasons: - I use its rate system, I give likes to TASes that I'm interested; - I usually search for related things about the game I'm watching (TASes of other games in the series, videos about glitches being studied, similar games, speedruns, etc); - I can watch it easily on any device I'm using; - The video will not occupy space on my hard drive. The only game that I actually download the movie file is, currently, Super Mario World, because I know/research the game well enough to be critic at this level, I wanna see all the details of the run. When preservation comes to mind, I think storing video files is more versatile, since nowadays you can run these videos on any decent media player. But storing movie files seems more adequate for TASing, for its reproducibility, its lightweight, and its valious content.

2019 just started and we already have the Sega TAS of the Year! This run is brilliant, it's a massive amount of work into something elegant and complex. Can't wait to see the atlas encode, I'm sure it will help understand the whole thing. Congratulations guys!

Ha what a fool... I couldn't find spare time to work on this ir any other big project. This said, I officially resign from Sonic 2. The8BitBeast is the person that will give what this game deserves, but i'll stay close, perhaps I can help a little.

This run is amazing!! This game is great, and The8bitbeast was able to make it even better! The toolset of tricks is incredible, and I'm really glad that the Bank Error Glitch is now exposed in a TAS. Submission text is rich of content, and video commentary is perfect. YES!
