It's not bad in the slightest, seems pretty good. However, there is already quite a few SMW hacks that already have a published TAS on the site. Does The Lost Levels offer something completely unique in this regard? If so, proceed.
effort on the first draft means less effort on any draft thereafter - some loser

Hello, and welcome to TASVideos! That's a good start! I've watched the video and I'll point out the biggest improvements I could tell from the encode, so that you can apply them in your next runs :). Send us the movie too, anyway. It's better to watch a run in the emulator. 0:57 I notice you lose speed here. If that is unavoidable, you should move until that point using 6/5 (6/5 is described in SMW resources page), so that you can recover speed later. That saves a lot of time overall! 1:57 It is better to be already in the air when Yoshi appears, so that you don't need to jump again and wait to fall on it. Again, it is better to move until Yoshi with 6/5, so that you still have P-Speed after getting him. Level that starts in 2:24 - you should have gotten p-speed in this level. If you use a lua script, you can see the value of your p-meter - it increases in 2 per frame, and when it reaches 112 your speed starts increasing. Level that starts in 6:06 - Same thing, always find a way to get p-meter. Also be careful with hitting walls like in 6:10. I think those are the biggest improvements. There're always a lot of minor improvements, but it doesn't worth pointing them out now. Keep sharing your TASes here, and I'm sure you'll improve over time!
