If you look at the WR history post this video the time saves were mostly just fractions of a second. The biggest new change to the route I recall is that he started implementing zombie rocket in 7-1 to catch a particular Birdo pattern that allowed for a very fast kill, saving usually a full second. @@femain1788

    My parents and I sat down and watched your SMB3 world record video recently. I grew up playing SMB3 and many others on the NES but that was “our” game. It was really special to be able to watch that with them
    and to have been able to see tricks and exploits that we didn’t know existed for the first time having been convinced we knew the game inside and out.
    Excellent work, thank you for taking your time and paying attention to detail. ^^

    I very rarely rewatch videos that I’ve seen before. But I just rewatched this video after seeing it about a year ago. And I enjoyed every second of it again.
