I really liked this hack! It’s well made, standing in-between kaizo and pit difficulty. I’d like to see some improvements on the graphics, if anything that could be improved.
Some skips:

0:30 | Getting the green shell directly and performing a shell jump

0:50 | Keeping the blue shell instead of waiting 30 - 40 frames on the shell in the block to appear (doesn’t know if this saves much time)

1:22, 1:28 | Keeping the spring to get into the second room faster
