Whatever the best port is, subjectively.

You're basically saying that being superhuman (TAS only) is a flaw of this TAS. I've never seen such an argument before.
I already explained why 62 A presses is not an arbitrary number. Did you skip that part?
And yes, this movie does aim for shortest time as a secondary goal, lowest A being the primary one.
Yeah let's quote the actual thing they linked:
The 1.1 is literally what this movie is.
And if you look closely at the example for 1, it also matches: it doesn't require a proof that there's absolutely no way on earth to make it even lower. Just presence of a goal and some cost that's considered attainable minimum, not even known in advance. Exactly like this movie.
I don't see what point you're proving here.

Does it work on interim libTAS?

Since avoiding B completely was already very possible with warps, submitting "1 B press, warpless" would feel underdeveloped. So naturally, it only was submitted when true walkathon was achieved.
The very first sentence of the submission text reads:
And then:
Why do you think this movie is meant to be "Jumpless"? Why do you think there's something to disguise here, when it's stated at the top of the submission? Why do you think the authors aren't being honest with their goals? Are you reading their minds?
Why can't anyone compete here?
It presses A as few times as known to be possible, which is what "minimum" means. If 0 is possible, 0 is minimum. When you try to complete a game in minimal time, you don't say "it's not 0 frames therefore it's arbitrary", do you? Because it wouldn't be "movie duration the author arbitrarily picked and decided to stick to", it'd be, once again, known minimum, of time. Same thing with A and B presses in this and in walkathon.

This is the same definition of 100% as on SRC, which is actually "all levels", right?
This is wrong BTW. It's often that a judge doesn't agree with what the audience finds entertaining or boring, and it's not exceptional to go with the audience in the actual judgment. It's how it's been working ever since 2012. Feedback is fundamentally subjective, and it's meant to be an important part of tiering exactly as subjective tastes.
Hacks specifically get handled like Moons branches, which means they can obsolete one another. For this one, it looks like a better (and more popular) SMB3 Kaizo hack has already been published and got much better feedback. So improving that movie instead would indeed be a great idea.

Is it the hardest to play through?

$C68B decreases from 0x0F to 0 at level 15, and it doesn't go below 0, so enemies move at the same slow speed since then. So just beat the hardest level.

That way it won't have a chance to get accepted!

The movie (replay) file, not the video.

What happens if yo just keep playing though? Or poke the level number and go through farther levels to see how they operate?

Also I couldn't find any info about this game at all. Is it available anywhere in any form?

"Good enough to progress" is unrelated to our reasons. This game doesn't prevent progressing through events regardless of score.
The fundamental difference between this run and a max score run is that you can end events early, instead of waiting for the time to run out while you keep scoring points. And there's still infinite speedrun potential if you only need to score above a certain value and end the event ASAP: there's unknown quantity of possible score units you'd be getting, and there is a function between how little score you get and how long it takes to get it, that you need to figure out.
Agreed. I see it as the only way to tell us "Success!" that this game has, while in other games it's done simply by letting you play further. There's nothing iffy about getting or not getting the high scores, so it's a clear cut in itself. Of course it still matters if the community also interprets the game's language the way we do.

It's the definition the community agreed on in the previous submission thread. IIRC people just wanted it to include a few more things.

Resolution seems to always go third, so getting the height should be reliable. Note varies too much indeed, but if it contains "fps" we could use that info. The end result would only contain what the biggest video height is there, and what the highest framerate is, well and the link itself. Does this make sense?

Well if you have all the links to needsUpdate in a file, then someone can run a more detailed script on those rather than the entire channel. Also there are other channels tasvideos encodes are scattered around: http://tasvideos.org/Uploaders-Site-YouTube.html

2160p-non-60fps may be a legitimate and desired format for games that run at 30fps. And for some runs it's a 30fps encode for actual 60fps game, even if it's 2160p too. Those 2 types of encodes are hard to automatically distinguish, so it'd be helpful to print whatever is available for ones that needsUpdate.

For future purposes, I think it'd be more useful to print details about the best available stream (not what YT marks as "best" tho). yt-dl doesn't print info on justbestvideo, so I guess one would have to parse everything from -F and then pick the highest note (or list them all?), for example 2160p60.

Judges sometimes unclaim submissions. There's infinity of possible reasons, even tho it doesn't happen often. But nothing to worry about.

This game reminds me of #6565: DrD2k9's C64 Decathlon "maximum score" in 09:35.02. There's no indication of whether you win or lose, and you still advance through the events and reach the game end. There's a "game over" in some events but it doesn't prevent getting the new score record, so "game over" is obtained in this run when it's enough score to quit. You even still get the "1st" bowl even if you fail completely in every event!
One could argue that the event is completed exactly when you get a high score for it. But 1) it's an arbitrary definition, espectially after having gotten game over right before it, and 2) it's basically the same metric as in max score, but one just stops in the middle. I feel there's too little difference between getting N score and getting max score. Definitely a max score run would obsolete this movie if we publish it. The main question is:
Do we want to agree that getting high scores in all events means fastest completion for them?
