I came on here to ask why this run was published, but I see that question was already asked a few times. Seriously though, what happened? I thought it was common knowledge that the blue shell is slower than running normally, and I almost felt embarrassed for the TASer when he kept saving at every opportunity. There were also plenty of places in this run that seemed fairly unoptimized. I didn't know about the flag pole trick until I read this thread. I honestly feel like I could borrow my friend's DS (I sold mine) and beat the game faster than this run. Nothing in this run is technically difficult to pull off in real-time, and just ditching the blue shell earlier and not saving would save a good 5-10 seconds.
