Much like wat Zurreco said, it's a great run.
I didn't expect you could find such a zipping glitch. But congratulations!
However, I still wonder whether it can be faster by manipulating more flashing meat when you fought tyrosauruses to get the warted body earlier.

The true amazing improvement is that you exploited the frame rule of the mushroom spawn in 4-1 in order to maintain your momentum.
4-4 is due to your better luck with the boss than mine (he was jumping to the worse direction for me), which is likely to depend on an in-game timer. So it was actually your 4-1 improvement that saved time here.
The wall jump in 5-1 has been expected for a long time.
However, I'd like to make clear that, in fact, you didn't gain any 1-frame with "a better flagpole glitch/whatever", but instead you gained most of them thanks to the new acceleration trick carried over from smb1, for which you should give credit to me specially ;)

You may conclude that the lower the enemy blobs are manipulated to get, the faster the game will advance to the next stage.

Still, I think taking damage to save time would be better...
Anyhow, please keep at it!

Oops, you are right. I thought the extra wall-jumps required to jump up there, as well as to climb up long ladders would make it slower, but actually it is faster, since those two baddies can be manipulated to go to better positions from where they will fall into water. Yes, the game waits for them to drow before you can go to the next stage, which is pretty annoying.
I surprisingly "missed" a wall-jump on the short ladder in Stage 45 too, which must be due to bad savestate usage. And I could have manipulated the evil blob(s) better in Stage 4, 7, 16.
Here I made a revision exactly two seconds faster . I'll PM some admins once again. :P

My TASed AoS boss rush was in less than 42 seconds (in game), if I recall correctly.

This run actually looks like a TAS...
So, I'll abstain this time.

I came up with this question when I was TASing some old non-sidescroll games. Some of them allow you to edit a certain level (usually the first one) and play through it, then proceed onto the following original ones. Therefore, you can create new shortcuts in that level at will.
However, it can be argued that a level editor is something like a password to skip to a special level, or even an unlocked debug mode. Generally, we don't use passwords or debug modes. So I'd like to ask:
Is it acceptable to use an in-game level editor to modify a game level and play through that level and the others? Is that compatible with "warpless" and/or "no password"?

@Yrr:
Uh, well, it's good news to know you're still working on it.
@moozooh:
I made those two (glitched and unglitched) bossrush TASes (in case the "WR" word is misleading).
Unfortunately, I left them on an abandoned computer.
According to pirate_sephiroth, someone seemed to manage to get and encode some of my bossrush movies, and upload the videos onto some video sites. I don't remember who I shared my movies with and/or when, though.

I remember having made one. And perhaps I'll make more, but still not submit them.

That the Piranha Plant to the right side of the big pit tries to kill Mario is why the warp run is supposed to have a slower 8-2 than the warpless run. And the requirement of saved frames to bust the frame rule was a bit too strict as it was stated one year ago:

Lol, I don't recall much about this game. It's been a long time.

This can be a timing bug:
1. Check Graphics->PAL.
2. Open a 60Hz ROM.
3. Uncheck Graphics->PAL.
Now the game runs faster than usual. The frame rate is much higher than 60Hz.

Well, I guess it can be roughly compared to the "old" result (this could be wrong though):
Introverted (I) 78.13 - 21.88 = 56.25
Intuitive (N) 70.59 - 29.41 = 41.18
Thinking (T) 75 - 25 = 50
Judging (J) 54.05 - 45.95 = 8.1
So I've become less introverted and intuitive while more thinking and judging within a day (24 hours).

According to my knowledge, there are a few mis-named ROMs. Some are using unofficial names while there're official ones available, some others are just using misspelt or mistranslated names.
