TRT tas video #2: New Super Mario Bros speedrun part3

Note: I've improved upon this run as Luigi.

This is a TAS Speedrun. It is meant to show a game pushed to its limits.

This is my very first attempt at a TAS speed run, so you can expect it to not be optimized, but its still pretty fast.

Note: I found out about the boost you can get through triple jumping only after I got to World 8 (you can see that I use it more in world 8). Oh well.
Note2: It seems like only Shell Mario can completely face left for some odd reason.
Note3: I did not optimize the map wandering, the floating box/hammer bro wanderings manipulation, or the saving option choosing (too lazy to do so also). Not saving is always faster than saving xD.
Note4: It seems like crouching as you approach a ledge makes you descend faster.
Note5: Entering the middle of the door is best (as long as you do not past the middle) so you save frames from Mario's "entering the door" animation.
Note6: You can cancel velocity be landing on the ledge, allowing you to scale heights faster. This canceling can be negated though by throwing items or a fireball.

8-8: Getting the star could have been faster, in my opinion.
8-Tower2: This is more of a freerun because you cannot advance without that moving platform. Its fun to fool around in this level.
8-Castle2: Keeping horizontal movement as you pass the flamethrowers is crucial to saving frames, something I didn't do at 783 (Oh well). The room with the Big Thwomp is faster. I find it amusing how Bowser claws at air even when it is obvious that he can reach the ledge effortlessly. But overall, this could be better.

Hope you enjoyed this run.

ive done 706 without a tas 707 is possible

[terrotim]

@KyuremRocks Yes I am aware of that. In fact, 708 is possible (maybe even 709) This video is 2 years old already, and I've gotten better since then. Be patient. There is a faster run coming in the future :P.

in 8-tower2 I think you could have got your reserve fire flower instead of the one in the block causing the game to pause, you may have even been able to pick that one after and also avoid the pause since it'd go straight to reserve.

Thanks for your suggestions. This was my first TAS speed run, so I didn't expect everything to be perfect. I'm actually working on an improvement run.
