http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/29972624023142716 26 frames ahead. I saved 2 frames in the first part by jumping on the ostro instead of landing on it. I saved 3 frames in the cave area. I saved another 2 frames at Birdo.

That's nice. Just keep in mind to take every possible thing into account and to take your time on the run.
I take a couple of hours for each level. It gets easier now since it's the third time I do this run. Also, 3-1 is done: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/29886754059159950 19 frames ahead. There is no difference in 1-3. Weirdly, there was an extra lag frame when restarting the game costing me 1 frame. I saved 4 frames at the falling part by jumping instead of falling. I saved 1 frame in the cave area with better subpixels and another 2 frames at potion throwing for a total of 7 frames.

http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/29857205609249683 Thanks for that. I fixed that part and I managed to save an extra 9 frames at the Birdo fight. I am now 13 frames ahead.

http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/29840452543455499 4 frames ahead I saved 1 frame by not jumping on the second beezo. It is weirdely lost when I superjump from the ninji. I think they are on frame rules. Saved 3 frames at the Birdo fight.

I checked and coins are not the cause. In that room, there is nothing that changes rng. The only sprites are the 2 gloombules, mario, luigi and starlow. In both cases, I entered the room at the same time with the same rng.

Apparently, the starting RNG of battles depends on the coin count. While testing different routes in the trash pit, I entered the tutorial with luigi at the same frame for both route, but with a 5 coins difference. I was surprised to see that the starting RNG wasn't the same.

Yeah... frame rules sucks. When i can improve in 1-1, I lose that time to Birdo.

http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/29796213560185926 1 frame ahead. So I'm at it yet again. Saved 1 frame to Birdo. I used Masterjun's srategy for the vine glitch. I still have trouble with it so I just reproduced his inputs. I did used left+right on ladders but it doesn't save time in 1-1 because of frame rules.

I found a small trick with vines/ladders in smb2. When you climb a vine, press left+right to be ejected to the left. As long as you are one the vine, you go at a speed of 62. I don't think it will be useful in a TAS though. Up+down does nothing.

For some reason, I slowed down in 5-3. I will have to fix this.

Around 6:55, would it be faster if Toad doesn't hit the wall?
No because of the frame rule of the veggie machine which, like Birdo, shoots one veggie each 256 frames. It would look cleaner though.

xy2_, these blocks don't have collison on the side. I didn't clip there. masterjun, your strartegy is faster but due to the Birdo frame rule, it is lost (unless I can save 4 seconds but I don't think it is possible). I tested with your inputs a while back when I submitted my last run. I tried to do it myself in this run because it looks cool but after a few hours I gave up knowing it wouldn't save time.

http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/29646090851868575 145 frames ahead (303 frames with title screen) 5-2 is done. I saved 64 frames in the first room and 3 frames in the vertical part, but I lose back 53 frames due to a different Birdo cycle. Overall, 14 frames are saved.

Great work but there a few things that I have to point out. In 1-2 wouldn't it be faster to get the first ninji after you get the key to only jump twice to do a super jump? Also I was wondering why didn't you clip that the begining of 5-1 with the enemy instead of going around? I might be mistaken but I'm pretty sure it's possible on snes to clip like the nes tas. There also a bomb on the floor after you enter the door in 5-1 that might be faster to pick that one up. Of course this is all speculation and those things are probably slower but just wanted to throw those ideas out there.
I tested in 1-2 while tasing that part and the second ninji is faster because I can reach the ledge earlier. For the clip in 5-1, I would have to test. I know you can clip with a veggie but I'm not sure if I can do it with an enemy. I knew about the bomb and it is a little slower because it doesn't last long enough. EDIT: Clipping doesn't seem to be possible with an enemy. I can't get to stand on the enemy to pull me through the floor.

http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/29527955457060686 I saved 56 frames to the Birdo fight. I spent a lot of time on it but that feels good to save almost a second. 57 frames ahead (137 frames with title screen)

I decided to use the japanese version to compare with RTA runs but I will not count the time saved from the title screen (80 frames faster). There is still a lot of improvements in my previous run.

I am planning to redo the TAS I have done. One thing I noticed is that the japanese version of All-Stars is faster on the title screen and is used by speedrunners. I was thinking of using it myself since it is a few seconds faster (haven't tested). Other than that, there is no differences.I also have to fix a few oversights I did (especially the second half. I think I rushed it a bit). Should I switch versions or should I stick to the US version?
