Thank you for correcting me, illayaya. I saw the video on mobile and assumed he was showing an improvement comparison since he had been working on a WIP for some time. So his WIP is just sloppy, then?
Thanks Challenger for that resynced file!
New Great Cave Offensive 100% TAS by WaddleDX. Truly amazing work on every way!
Great work! It seems well done.
Apparently it is not possible to find a fast 1-up on the way to skip that game-over screen.
Just as a side note, I found out by testing that you can "throw away" hammer but then climb up a ladder to keep it.

Is there a new movie being worked on right now? The current TAS is 20 years old and iirc the RTA WR is over 10 minutes faster than this with a completely different route.

The current run is a 2p any% run. There just isn't much interest in that category. And when you do some digging into current tas records of this game, it gets rather intimidating at how optimized you have to be just to match current records (let alone beat them). I found this all out while attempting to de-throne this movie myself.
These are mostly all the main records out there. Great Cave Offensive and Milky Way Wishes are 100% videos, but hot damn are they good.
Spring Breeze - I don't think a single frame can be saved here. Mugg is too good. I'm going to plug in my own attempt at this stage. You'll note that I didn't choose Jet, and that's because I couldn't even copy the current route (the clipping is too precise). Heck, I even lose time at the bomb mini-boss. mugg manipulates the earliest possible bomb throw (in addition to the other dozen rng manipulations up to this point). The most I could do was simply show off something different.
Partial Gourmet Race - I couldn't find a normal any% tas of all three tracks, so I just posted a crazy glitched route for the 3rd race as a possible improvement
Dyna Blade - I couldn't find a stand-a-lone tas of dynablade (although I heard of one being worked on in the kss discord)
Revenge of Meta Knight - Looks incredibly optimized
Great Cave Offensive - 100% completion - Looks incredibly optimized
Milky Way Wishes - 100% completion - Looks incredibly optimized
Arena - Not required for any%, but looks incredibly optimized for in-game time (i.e. the timer at the end), and I wanted to show it off. The first boss you fight can be manipulated, but I believe the boss order after that is firmly set in stone.
