In SMB1 in 8-2, could you save time by pipe jumping where you usually have to slow down to clear the pipe?
You actually can, and it's one of the techniques needed for the 8-2 framerule save. It's just so difficult there's no reason to go for it under normal circumstances.
https://www.speedrun.com/smb1/run/m3dno36z watch how @Arcus does the jump in 8-2 you're referring to in his 4:58.3 run back in July of 2017
only faster if done really well so its not worth it. also it doesnt save enough to get an extra framerule so its kinda dumb.
It saves at least a couple-a few frames over the normal method It saves a framerule if you do fast accel, this pipe jump blant jump perfectly, and perfect BBG on the perfect framerule.
Any% (NTSC) runs below 4:57.000 must now fulfill additional requirements in order to be verified.
- The run's full session must be included in the submission description.
- For emulator runs below 4:57.000, some form of input display must be visible for the duration of the run. A hand-cam or input
