To see if there exists any possible distinction, I compared the first 2 complete ACTs of Two different mode, Director's Cut Mode and Time Challenge Mode.
And the answer proves to be positive.
Different hitbox
Different pixel deviation with the same enemy at the same location
Different method of enemies-attack
For instance, different movement route & motivation
Time Challenge Mode has 1 lag frame more than Director's Cut Mode, after the end of each divided ACT.
Malignant Bug: If you kill an enemy from behind his back and then jump and get in contact with his "dead" body. Then he will be resurrected with 1 HP left. You will get an instant failure if in a infiltration mission.
Attention: The same terrain doesn't always be the same even if they look the same.
Branch Name
Time Challenge: An optional difficulty, with Time limited, based on "Director's Cut Mode".
Take 0 Damage: Except for the performance and illustration of Game Story, the Player Character doesn't get injured.
Speedrun: exactly as you commonly know it, rush through the game as fast as possible.
Bugs or Tricks I Used
Be noticed by an enemy and then run away or get disappeared in the enemy's sight, which will urge the enemy to turn back and go aside.
In addition to the item above, each sort of enemies has a different period (usually 20 frames approximately) before their finally catch sight of the Player Character.
It will take several frames for Searchlight Beam to locate its snipher at the Player Character.
Searchlight Beam has a pixel deviation, and so does enemies.
To grab a slightly higher platform while jumping upwards, perform a Punch (B) or Kick (r). Sometimes It may cause a delay of several frames to Grab a Cliff.
Most utilized solution in combat: Attack from behind the enemies.
I use game embedded cheat to unlock "Time Challenge Mode".
Rolling before an EXIT can save 1 or 2 frames, but be cautious to the distance from the EXIT and the Timing to perform a roll.
Optimization
Falling Position Adjustment (distribution of Key (←) & Key (→) ), to reach the farthest distance when falling downwards from a higher platform.
Calculate the maximum falling height, to grab the mesh, poles or ladders and then drop.
Perform a punch (B) or kick (r) at former 2 or 3 frames ahead of Player Character landing on the ground, in which case, the Player's able to run through behind the enemy. But more significantly, ensure that the punch or kick touches the enemy walking ahead of you but doesn't cause damage, only showing the Health Bar (HP) of the enemy. On the contrary, should the method be taken advantage of in mission of infiltration, you will fail the mission.
→→+B (Punch while running) 16 frames before dropping from a platform, and the Player will reach the farthest distance.
Add or substract the number of Key (A, Jump), to shrink the period of Player being retained in the air. The less retention time of being in the air, the more frames will be saved.
Velocity: running > jumping while running > moving on the mesh, a pole or a ladder.
I use →→↓+B/r to give the Boss a final attack to finish him.
(Stick) →→+B/r to knock away enimes and destroy the box that contains a key (🔑).
I use ←+B/r in the air when confronted with an enemy that cannot be evaded in a common way.
Kill more enemies at the same time as many as possible.

Finally. FRAME RULE
To be honest, I found it in the last month. But this time it's more complicated in this game so I've not got any further inspection of it.
However, I did catch a point while improving the TAS in July.
Each Stage (ACT, or Mission) has an exclusive Frame Rule (Overall Period). Mathematically speaking, Each patrolling route of enemies is in strong connection with a periodical function relevant to time (frame). To optimize it, is exactly to make a nonlinear programming.
I don't know if I get the best optimum but it may not.
If one more overall period is saved, then it'll be faster and absolutely a new record.
Besides, sub-pixels are utilized to calculate speed (particularly momentary velocity), as a consequence of which a marginal difference in sub-pixels may have an great effect on displacements of Characters.
feos: Replacing with an improvement per author's request.
feos: Cleaned up the branch. Speedrun is the default goal so it doesn't need to be mentioned. And "no damage" is the canonical wording we use over here.
feos: After watching this side-by-side with the normal mode run, I can confirm that Time Challenge Mode is not different enough from regular gameplay to warrant a separate branch, but rather it's a difficulty setting, which we don't put into branch labels.
Regarding "no damage", we only put it into branches if taking damage is faster but was avoided for entertainment purposes. If taking damage just stuns you for a while and it's optimal to avid it, this doesn't go to branch label either.
feos: Replacing with a file that has some more improvements (sent over Discord) and is trimmed to end input as soon as possible without getting hit by the light thing.
feos: So after all the improvements I'm finally ready to accept this run. It's much better than #7366: TrueSnokido's GBA Bruce Lee: Return of the Legend in 22:39.07 in every room (only longer in rooms where the map is harder due to different mode), better than Spike's test, doesn't have the problem Memory found in 7366S, and overall it looks really well done. The single place I had a question about can't be done quicker because you get spotted and die.
Detailed explanations about what's different in this mode can be found here.
Encoder should use this movie which shows the in-game time after the credits.

There's input which can be compared to TrueSnokido's TAS of this title where there are elements in that TAS that come out faster such as climbing the ship adding a jump at frame 9926 in your input does shave off 4 frames as well as what goes on in that ship, not taking the bars across and instead running below is also faster in comparison. Memory also in the Judgement has an input file as well improving on that submission.
Both of their TASes was done on the Easiest difficulty but I was strictly focusing on the movement.
You can also save a frame by using that blank frame at 956 to start inputting the cheat a frame earlier (holding L).
This is why I said last time to take your time as you would be able to find something new especially in the movement variety, I honestly thought you saw that submission before you started your newest installment.
You have found new stuff in your inputs which is great such as what happens in 1-2.
However, some of your input is still comparable to what I provided to you last time where my input in 1-3 is still faster in comparison unfortunately.
I do have input in Act 2 that would also be comparable to what improvements can be made but that input sequence is based on what you made, but, what Memory and TrueSnokido's have provided is probably more than enough to compare against.
I'm not beating around the bush on this one, this is a real good TAS that should've had another look around in its input before a submission and seeing what else can be scrapped off.
A light spike as well where I personally don't believe the showcasing of the final IGT is necessary and can be left as a statement of 19:15, or that it should've been the alternative file.
I'm also personally still against using the Time Challenge mode as there's no real change in comparison to Director's Cut mode as it's just a timer, and since this is a TAS going fast is the immediate priority, not what some clock says on how much time we have left, it doesn't really hold any suspense.
In conclusion this is an insanely improved TAS to what you showcased 4 months ago, but there's still stuff that can be looked at.
Good job M1D.

Thanks for your advice and compliment. In fact, I spent nearly a month to re-record a completely new TAS of this game. I've spared all my effort on each joint of every stage or mission, which means that I was always trying different methods and compare them to choose a better frame-saver route.
I thought I would quit but eventually I made it.
Actually I've checked and watched your record in 1-3 but pitifully I tried everything to find only delaying frames in distinction. I've ever been confused and discouraged, I still cleave to finish the TAS project meticulously nevertheless. Guess that's why you choose Director's Cut Mode.
But I choose Time Challenge Mode to tell my audience that there's a harder mode beyond the Director's Cut Mode, for people know too less about this game.
Question at 9926 frames: That is because its $Velocity = \sqrt{V_x^2+V_y^2}$ and the momentary speed on touching the ground is "sometimes" faster than running speed.
And additionally, Time Challenge Mode does have any differences: No Lighthouse with HELP (?) Information and no Check Point.

In conclusion, I lead this TAS project to a completion myself, with over 14 hours on average per day.
It all starts because I could not find a TAS that met my standard about this game, so I made one on my own.
Ultimately, it shows up as the First and the Only.
As Spikestuff Says, it still appears to have some possibilities of further optimization, in spite of which, I'm about to put an end to my work.
You can take a closer look at my work and optimize it in your own way. All notes I took are shown to you without anything left.
I've fulfilled my duties all along.
It's time for a new beginning.
I have other things of importance to do.
Then, say bye.

I promise not to do any more changes before the completion of judgement
Do as many changes as you need, just announce replacement files here in the thread instead of the submission text. That way it will be easier for me to notice. I can delay the judgment if you still have tests to do.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

I can still see any chances of optimization in ACT 3-3, 6-1 & 6-2.
I may delay it for 3 days or more.

Nice! Don't hesitate to try improving it further, even the craziest ideas are often worth checking, as long as you feel the potential is there. I put some advises about this approach on Wiki: TasingGuide/TASArt.

I'm sorry to disturb. I caught a cold in recent days and I find a chance of improvement in ACT 7-2 after recovery today.
Luckily this minor optimization didn't take too mach time. 8 frames saved, this time.
And now it's All Done.
I feel sorry to keep you waiting so long. Eventually it comes to an end. You can resume the judgement right now. Many thanks.

Don't feel sorry, feel proud that you made it better! I'll wait as long as needed if you still have ideas to try. And please make new posts for new improved movies, it makes it easier to notice for me (I don't get email notifications for post edits).

I thought ACT 8-1 could be improved but I had tried then. It wouldn't be. The location coordinate and the timing is such a coincidence that it may be the optimum for ACT 8-1.
So the TAS project won't be updated.

The Time Challenge Mode is still different from any other mode of the game.
The most obvious one is the Strength of Enemies. And the Maps of ACT 2-3, ACT 6-1 and ACT 7-2 are far more complicated than the Easy Mode's or Normal Mode's.
I'm sure you may take a closer look at it again.
