Interesting! It isn't *much* faster than the previous record if I remember correctly, but it's much more entertaining. I approve of this.
There was a different coin collecting strategy (still with BLJ) posted on Nicovideo before you said this. Here's the link:

*It would be legal if TASed on Dolphin with the Virtual Console version. =) *Please don't take this post seriously.
Edit:
Here are compilations for Task 1 of the competition I mentioned earlier:
Top 5 + SplitscreenTop 3 (No splitscreen)
I made 2 to see which kind people would prefer (short and simple, or longer and a bit more complex).

GMan,
The Committee of Horrible Analogies and Insane Ranting called, they wanted to get in touch with you. Something about a forum post or something. I gave them your number.
Just a heads up,
Fabian
Where can I contact said committee? I'd like to give the CEO a high-five.

At 13:17 in that 120 star WIP, could they have ground pounded the pillar earlier? Since you have to wait for the water anyway, there is no reason to hit it on the far side.
What are you talking about? They hit it as soon as they could after the long jump ended...

Here's hoping that there are no more huge improvements to be found.
Heh...the amount of time new improvements save is irrelevant to the Japanese TASers. They want it as perfect as they can make it, even if it means only a 1 or 2 frame improvement.

I honestly don't like the Zelda 64 games very much...but there's something about this that makes it far better than the run it obsoleted, and WAY more entertaining than the OoT runs (imo). This is definitely one of the best TASes I've ever seen in terms of optimization and entertainment value. If this is not starred, I will start a riot. Clearly a yes vote.

by the way, a question…
is it impossible to BLJ on those slopes that are used to gain speed? (start of game, start of Bob-omb Battlefield, start of that icy world…)
and if so why?
Yes, it's impossible. They make Mario go into a sliding animation; a butt slide if facing downward, and a belly slide if facing upward.

get the xbox 4 instead, which might come out 2012 or so
I believe Microsoft has said Kinect marked the approximate halfway point of the 360's life cycle. Since it launched in very late 2005, I'll just consider it to be 2006 for this estimate. Kinect came out in 2010, so I think we won't hear any news until 2013, or maybe at the earliest, late 2012. It's definitely not coming out next year though. Think more towards mid to late 2014. =)

I would get a PS3 over a 360. It has better exclusives, the online doesn't cost anything (unless you want Playstation Plus), and it looks better on bigger TV screens.

Sorry for double posting, but here's something from YouTube comments:
I'm sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but can you use the frame advance function and quick saves at the same time?
sonicpacker 1 day ago
@sonicpacker Yes. The problem is loading... The engine isn't made to load from the frame you saved at. I had made a script before to load it and turn on 'singlestep 1' at the soonest possible time that it completed loading for my system. It was still multiple frames ahead of where I saved it. It is really easy to test with something moving, like an energy ball, because you'll see it in a farther ahead position when you load.

Perhaps there may be some way to keep momentum by wall kicking off the pillars near the first elevator (above the cage).
Edit: Disregard this post. I just tested it and it won't work =/
