The first cut seen is boring and on all my failed run to get to the first level by the time you hit A it is 36 seconds. So I was wondering if we could skip it.

You can't skip the cutscene like NSMBWii or NSMBU because the game don't save after the 1st cutscene.

Yeah you can do that with a savestate, but savestates are banned during the run.

ok
