In the current run of this, in level 5-2 Mario goes down and upside-down pipe which sends him to the warp zone. Does this only work only in the famicom version, or does it also work in The Lost Levels on the SNES?
I tried to duplicate it on console with the SNES version but had no success. Either it doesn't work on the SNES version, or I'm missing something.
I also realized something odd when I was playing the SNES version.
When you land on the flagpole backwards, it has a weird affect and seems as if you drop off the flagpole sooner. I'm sure it doesn't matter due to the 21 frame rule, but I think it something worth checking out. I've wondered nfor a while if that would end up somehow saving time.

I've seen a few of the runs of Super Mario Bros. 2 Lost Levels american and famicon versions and only 1 has levels past 8-4, was this only in the snes game super mario all stars?
I'm working on TASing SMB2j using B as little as possible.
Right now I just started 4-4 and I've used B three times, once in 4-1 and twice in 4-3. There seems to be absolutely NO way to avoid this, not even walljumps.
Would a TAS of this kind be accepted (under concept demos)?
Could someone tell me how to attach a file to this post so I can show what I've done so far?

This works.
Also, trying to make the impossible possible by intentionally ignoring the premise of the run doesn't make for a particularly good movie. But if you enjoy doing it, who am I to stop you?

I'm glad you were able to save time by using the shell. :)
I can't see anything else that is improvable. How is this coming along now? Are you at world 8 yet?

I don't get it for idea 2/3... where're going to get the mushroom then? You still need it sooner or later, no?
Getting the mushroom later in level 4-1 and flower in 4-2 should leave it so that no time is wasted later... I think.
I'm a bit confused. Happylee, are ideas 1 and 3 are equally as fast, both saving 63 frames?
Also, I feel like combining ideas 1 and 2 could result in the fastest method.

hmmm... i think this won't work.
