• TAS Timing (ON-Final Input): 48:00.43 (soo close to sub 48)
• RTA Timing (Gain Control-Results Screen): 47:08.517 (10:01 faster than the WR by IG2001/Bl3da)

• resync the rest

• add entertainment
• save 1 or more frames in the first room
• save 1 or more frames in the walljump room
• save 1 or more frames in the turnaround room
• save 3 or more frames in the water room
• get a good Bowser on top of that.

Minimum time allowed: 10:09.903

• I'm too frustrated to do this.
• Also, please upload this to userfiles/WIP page (aka here) when done.

Here's the breakdown:

• 1-1 to 7-1, as far as I know, is unchanged.
• 7-2 drains a timeunit (270) and saves 12 frames, thanks to xy2
• Then I resynced the rest
• 7-3 saved 2 frames (somehow)
• 8-2 saved 21 frames due to faster BBG
• 8-4 water room lost two frames
• 8-4 boss room saved a frame

With all this, the TAS time is now 10:10.003

• so mad about this

What improvements are left?

• 4-2 has 5 frames
• 6-1 has 10 frames
• 6-4 has 1 frame
• 7-1 may have a framerule to save. BBG
• 8-4 has 1 frame in the first room, 1 frame in the walljump room, has 1-3 frames in the fish room, and 2-4 frames in the water room.

• v0 I have, but is lost to history
• v1 is on YT
• v2 is on YT, but the file is lost to history
• v3 s5564 is on YT, and on TASvideos as Submission 5564
• v4 is on YT, and here.
• v5 v5.1 as I call it is only on here
• v6 is on here, it's the one with dhxo uploaded 14 hours from when this goes up
• v7 is this one.

Improvements over v5.1:

• 1-1: 58 frames
• 1-2: 9 frames
• 4-2: 206 frames
• 7-2: -1 frame (lost a frame)
• 8-2 should have been 20-21 frames, but no, it's even.
• 8-4 room 2: 5 frames.
• 8-4 room 3: 3 frames.
• 8-4 last room: 2 frames.

Compared to s5564 (aka v3):

• 1-1: +14 frames (+14f) <-?!?!?! Well, I guess that's the slower timer. Rip.
• 1-2: -6 frames (+8f)
• 4-1: Even (+8f)
• 4-2: -188 frames (-180f)
• 6-1: -21 frames (-201f)
• 6-2: -21 frames (-222f)
• 6-3: Even (-222f) <-Wow! Expected another 21 frames here, but no!
• 6-4: +12 frames (-210f) <--hmmm.....
• 7-1: -21 frames (-231f)
• 7-2: +22 frames (-209f) <--Either we have some work to do here, or the firework here crosses a framerule, which means we have work to do here.
• 7-3: Even. (-209f) <-Interesting
• 7-4: +12 frames (-197f) <From this, and 6-4, I can safely deduce that there are no framerules in any castle. This is a very groundbreaking discovery.
• 8-1: Even. (-197f) < WHAT?!?!
• 8-2: -21 frames (-218f) <--probably the BBG.
• 8-3: +22 frames (-196f) <WHAT?!?!
• 8-4 Room 1: -1 frame (-197f)
• 8-4 Room 2: -9 frames (-206f)
• 8-4 Room 3: -10 frames (-216f) <--Wow, didn't know I saved that much.
• 8-4 Room 4: -7 frames (-223f)
• 8-4 Final Room: -39 frames (-262f) <Better Bowser.

What improvements can be made?

Aside from FF strats:

• 4-2 has 5 frames to save. I know this because I got a better time by 5 frames before dhxo uploaded his fm2.
• 6-1 then has 10 frames to save. That stems off this result.
• 6-3(?!?!) 1 framerule
• 7-1 BBG here would save a framerule.
• 7-2 Somebody, please get a 272, it'd save a framerule!
• 7-4 probably has something.
• 8-2 better BBG would save a framerule.
• 8-3(?!?!) has 1 framerule.
• 8-4 maybe a frame or two in the first room, and that's it.

• 1-1: 58 frames saved
• 1-2: 9 frames saved
• 4-2: Wrong Warp is huge 206 frames saved
• 7-2: 1 frame lost. We're so close (1 frame) short of 272.

PowerON-InputEnd in 10:15.24, or 36,975 frames.

From all this, here are the improvements level by level:

• 6-4: 1 framerule
• 7-1: 1 framerule
• 7-4: 1 framerule
• 8-2: 1 framerule
• 8-4: 19 frames
