The double 54 in Any% and Warpless has been achieved!!! This run is very special not only because it's a new second barrier, but it marks the start of a new era of Warpless. This is because this run TAS ties all castle levels in worlds 1 through 7, meaning the only improvement from here is by adding in more FPGs or FFPGs! The routing to get all castle levels to line up perfectly for perfect bowser kills and other RNG was quite brutal, hence the massive title screen delay of 24.59 seconds, but I knew I had to do it in order to achieve this time. I suppose 18:53 is the next stop for this category, as all I'd need to do to save a second over this run is to add 1-2 and 3-3 FPGs. However, doing this would throw off the earlier castle level patterns, and unfortunately that would give a bad 2-4 bowser framerule for this route. So, although an alternative route would likely have to be used, I will be sure to look into this in hopes of eventually making 18:53 a reality!
