World 5

• First things first, enjoy the sight of little Mario while you can, you see him for a few seconds here, a few seconds midway through the run, and a few seconds at the end. That's it.
• A shell kill is quite a bit faster than a fire kill, or a star kill.
• I TAS the mini-game to get the magic suit quicker, and for a bargain price of 100 coins.
• Some of the levels you have to collect all the coins to finish.
• When I fly, I switch between the leaf and the other powerup. This means I lose minimal speed when flying.
• I figured out a way to slide down slopes and still have P speed, this comes in handy a few times.
• Switching between powerups on the frame you get hit means you don't lose your powerup.
• The raccoon tail will allow you to keep P speed through walls.
• The end of world bosses do not die from the magic suit, only the fire suit.

World 1 (Pass 1)

• Generally, various items can be used to kill the bosses in world 1, such as a shell in 1-1 and an ice cube in 1-2
• for those who are familiar with the game, you may ask yourself why I take the top route in world 1, since the key is found along the bottom route. All will be revealed.
• I was unlucky enough no to get any 50's in the autoscroller (instead of 1UP's, there are 50's in Mario Adventure)

World 7

• The biggest improvement here is the route. I played through all the levels and this is the route I came up with to be the fastest
• I get the key straight up, before I do anything else
• Some of the levels you just have to wait out. One of them I use to get a few 50's
• I get all of the music boxes here in world 7. The reason for this is that there are no hammer bros., so they don't do any unnecessary movements.
• I'm pretty sure the fortress strat is optimal.
• A glitch occurs when your coin counter rolls over 1000 on a boss battle. This is why I didn't collect too many 50's on the one waiting level.

World 1 (Pass 2)

• This is just because I didn't get the key the first time around. Don't worry, it was planned. I reset after getting the key

World 3

• I do this world next because the music box is still active from world 1, so I can skip the first Hammer Bros.
• The leap of faith in the first level is pretty neat.
• 3-2 is the first time I do a shell jump. Neat huh?
• I think almost all the levels in world 3 have a different, improved route.
• One time it snowed on an already icy level. The visibility was so bad it made that level extremely hard to TAS.
• For reasons I don't really want to go into depth, killing the boss in the fortress with the shell is not faster.
• Swimming autoscrollers are by far the worst and most boring kind of autoscroller.

World 2

• I tried doing that pipe glitch like in the other run like in 2-3. It didn't work at all for some reason.
• I use a new strat to get the key. For some reason, a lot of the levels in this game have no ceiling.
• I do the 1000 coin glitch again in this world.

World 6

• Lots of gigantic stuff here, but the levels are relatively simplistic, so there isn't much to say about this world
• 6-5 and 6-F are the only levels with new strats

World 4

• In the first level, it's faster to go up the waterfall than take the shortcut.
• You cannot manipulate the cheep cheeps. I just got lucky.
• Collect many coins eh? I complete the level with only 2 coins, and skip straight to the boss
• An enjoyable autoscroller for once
• For some reason the 1000 coin glitch didn't work here

World 8

• On the overworld, I select the keys in a specific order which saves a few frames
• Each level in world 8 is the same theme as each of the seven worlds, plus the final castle.
• At the end of each level there is a bowser. By the last level I hated bowsers so badly.
• In world 8-7 I jump off an ice block that I threw. It is also possible to get hurt by your own block or shell.
• In the last level, the boss fight lasts for freaking ages.
