I take that back, after watching the movie again. There are a multitude of tiny errors (mostly just the ones where he misses the bonus platform) plus a handful of small ones (like climbing a ladder instead of flying up it), and a couple of judgement errors (where he mixes Wheel when Fireball or Tornado would've been more useful) and two places where he takes damage where it's not necessary and doesn't save time.
Missing the bonus platform?
Yes, it's something that could perhaps be rememied with frame advance. Somehow, I didn't manage to get the same timing consistently. When I was playing, I suspected it had something to do with the game itself.
Climbing ladder instead of flying it? Can you elaborate? Because I'm fairly sure I didn't do mistakes of that kind. (Note that flying is rather undesirable because it halts movement when you blow out the air. I only flied the ladders when the motion was already of flying for some reason. At 13:26 I think I wanted to get to proper height to use fireball.)
Judgement errors conserning wheel/fireball/tornado may be possible. I didn't use tornado at all.
That being said, I don't think it's unrealistic to hope someone improves over my run by 2 minutes :)

for example Solomon's Key
I always wondered why exactly 1, and only 1 warp is used in the Solomon's Key run. It was so late in the game too that I was already assuming that is was a warpless run. Then, out of the blue, the last warp is used to skip some levels. If the author was going to use a warp, why not use them all and shave several minutes off the time to begin with?

Because, at the time, it was the only warp I knew.
The new movie will be warpless and feature also the secret rooms.
