I think this is a great tool, but it would be very helpful if it had an "equation" feature. For example, assume that in a game there is no single address that represents boss health, but there are 3 others addresses A, B, and C, and the boss health = 3A + B +5C. The "equation" feature would allow me to write a formula that sums up those sub-addresses and shows the boss health in the main screen as one variable.
I'm not sure if only addresses from the same data types can be used in equations, e.g. an equation must consist only of 8-bit addresses, or 16-bit addresses, etc, and in some cases overflow might occur, although that can be checked for and prevented.

Personally I think submitting to Digg is a bad idea and only leads to negative publicity, although I doubt anyone here did it and was more likely the work of the average internetz fanboy.

If chess isn't accepted then I think go doesn't stand a chance.
Why's that?
Chess and go are about the same on the level of entertainment: zilch. Fractalfusion mentioned he had a chess movie sometime ago but never submitted it for this reason, and I recall I also got some fire for suggesting to submit a SNES chess game.

if homosexuality is biologically driven, shouldn't we see the trait or gene die out due to it's inherent inability to reproduce?
I don't know if homosexuality is actually controlled by genes or not. But if it was, a simple explanation would be the "homosexuality gene" is recessive. A person with a copy of this gene from one parent and a regular gene from the other would still be "normal" but have genotype HN, and if they meet someone else who has the HN genotype their offspring can have the genotype HH/HN/NN, or if this someone else has the NN genotype their offspring can have genotype HN/NN, but in both cases the offspring with genotype HN can continue to disseminate the H gene.

Yeah, I thought picking up the enemy was necessary because I assumed (wrongly) in donamerdragon's run that it would be faster for toad to just run out the remaining distance instead of taking time to pick up the enemy. I don't have the time or energy to redo 80% of the run so if this is rejected based on that I won't really mind. Although I would like to see a "toad only" run obsolete the "princess only" run since toad, like white men, can't jump and thus could give rise to more entertaining methods.

Not throwing the weighted mushroom saves 70 frames. Using the leftmost platform instead of high-jumping in 6-2 is actually 7 frames slower. And in 6-3 I don't believe it's possible to scale the wall using a shy guy - he has to be on the tallest cacti which might be impossible to place him.
I'll try to come up with an improved version as soon as possible.

To questions 1-2, I think the mask opens a set time after I grab the crystal ball, shouldn't matter what actions I take after that. As for question 4, I tried ducking with peach and it seems like she is too slow to make it. I'll take a look at question 3 right now. And no, I have no knowledge of hexing rerecords, I did indeed press the F1-F10 buttons 100000 times.

Does this even complete the game? After the snake declares victory another round immediately begins, leading to infinite rounds of losses due to no input. I don't see a ending/credits screen anywhere. I'll withhold my vote until these questions are answered.
On the other hand, if this is meant to be a demonstration like first track f-zero, then I will have to vote no as it is not interesting at all.
BTW, this run only works on v19 if anyone is interested.

If you can fully recover each individual salt and sugar crystal to what it was before the bag was mixed, I say go ahead and dissolve to your heart's content.
Easy. Centrifuge the solution (salt and sugar have different densities), then evaporate the separate parts.
