Let me just post this vid

Judge for yourself, idk if it is valuable for RTA but shrug

Since PAL moves farther forward on backwards jumps, don't you only have to do 2 bumps anyway?

Which would make it super easy to do andrewg's "fast 4-2" which otherwise would require luck to get 2 "perfect" backwards jump bumps - saving the FR.

Precisely. I will try to get this RTA in an IL but idk if I'll be able to because you need to do a fram perfect slide and a frame perfect jump to hit the block ;v.

This is called "fast 4-2" and it's possible in RTA, but incredibly difficult. It was done, but has since been effectively replaced by other "tricks" to save the 4-2 framerule (or other framerules instead of 4-2) that are relatively easier, but still very difficult.

This video by Summoningsalt explains the trick, which was done by andrewg in the world record grind a while back.

Skip to 9 minutes 7 seconds for the "fast 4-2" explanation

377 4-2 should be possible on pal

How much slower would the run be on PAL overall? Doesn't PAL run on 50 fps?

@Jackson_D77 - that question depends if you mean played by an actual human or TAS. It seems like over a 5 minute run with an actual human running the game, it's a little over 10 seconds slower. The PAL world record is only 5:11 ( https://www.speedrun.com/run/emk7ply6 )

However, since "bullet bill" style flagpole glitch (where the level ends without the flagpole even lowering or mario walking to the castle) is capable on every flagpole on PAL but not NTSC, the TAS for PAL is actually a little faster than the TAS for NTSC -

Ok gotcha I was talking about RTA thanks so much dude.

Actually this is the PAL human WR,(retimed 5:10.91) He didn't upload this one, probably because it doesn't actually improve the time by a second so he didn't upload it, but this is indeed the true WR that was recorded.
