Ah true, I forgot you can't directly play them after level 9. I guess it's why the SNES version was used instead. So your ending is probably fine.

This run is well done and got good reception, but I watched it side-by-side with [3456] SNES Super Mario All-Stars: The Lost Levels "warpless, Mario" by HappyLee in 34:36.61 and I'm not so sure. Vast majority is very close to the existing branch, only a few places required obvious differences only present in this category. Most of the time you just need to run around the coins instead of right through them, and it feels like there are fewer places with coins than places with mandatory jumps in SMB.
I had to vote Meh because I feel this movie is too similar to the one that doesn't minimize coins.

Also since this is warpless, maybe it would make more sense to play all the levels, to fully combine the 2 goals and showcase coin minimization on the whole game.

The rerecord count is wrong.

In HD encode, subtitles on top of the audience are hard to read. SDs are fine because halo is so huge, but for HD, see how the 2 latest publications position the subs.

Subtitles X position needs to be adjusted for mkv (blame complexity of this terrible AVS code).

Looks ok, but once again I personally prefer to shift subs from the side to align with in-game GUI better. Probably not worth redoing, but please keep this in mind.

Hopefully final review.
Hertz is shortened to Hz, not hz.Maybe it makes sense to turn these 2 into nested points?Hack itself should also be a finished release, or at the very least abandoned.Linux is automatically implied here.It sounds like someone would casually hack an emulator for a TAS, while we already state that only official emulator releases are allowed.Do we need to specify the purpose?I'm not sure why both parentheses are bold there.I think we should mention that this includes cosmetic improvements to the game.We should probably mention the situation with Dolphin interims. Also of we otherwise reject movies that don't sync on any official release, it should be stated more clearly.https://www.speedrun.com/ too I guess? Don't wanna be losing to human play :D

Showing the password is not necessary, because we don't rely on password visibility in our rules. If you need to actually use some password, and there's a good reason for that, you're considered an omniscient being who just knows all the in-game info in advance and uses it for optimization. But if the password gives unfair advantage, showing it on the screen doesn't prevent it from making the game easier, so it's generally not allowed to use it. If you don't use it at all, showing it is also not needed.
If the game records your completion across soft resets or something, they're still allowed: [1901] NES Rockin' Kats by FatRatKnight, Tompa, pirate_sephiroth & MESHUGGAH in 16:33.71. So existing the course is also allowed, unless it contradicts your primary goal. Some people might argue that exiting levels early does contradict the goal of completing all levels.

Indeed. When we want majority of regular viewers to have enjoyed the movie, we need game mechanics to be clearly comprehensible and fun, or we need the game to be popular enough so more people could relate to it. That is essentially our Moons requirement. But when it comes to hacks, anything that's less known or less obvious risks to get ignored or disliked by general audience.
This situation feels very similar to how the site worked before tiers. Moons requirement was kinda universal, and games that couldn't meet it were rejected, even not hacks. Vault was meant to provide room for technical achievements that have speedrun record value, because the demand was kinda high: for every Vault-ish game there was some niche audience that would watch and enjoy even the least obvious and the most monotonous gameplay, as long as they have personal relation with that game, or the genre, or anything else objective or subjective.
The tier system teaches us that niche audience should not be ignored. We want people to make high quality movies, to push games to their limits. The more productive people we have around, the more creative freedom they have, the better the net gain is. If you're only into some insanely popular franchise and hate all the rest, people who used to TAS Vault-ish games may contribute to something very entertaining within your favorite franchise some day! And technical expertise is a great thing in and of itself. Sharing experience and ideas, generating something unique on variety of levels.
So no, we do not want niche audiences to feel outcast. We don't want them to have to split away. If we want to be future-proof as a site, we want to embrace variety of tastes.

Dacicus's encode has credits, while this video ends abruptly.

There's weird discrepancy between how this video ends and how the AVI SD ends, but even stranger is the fact that the latter shows 1 more rerecord in subtitles. I suspect it was edited by Bisqwit just for that encode.
