Test run WIPs

Test run: possible improvements

Disclaimer: this is the list of possible speed & entertainment improvements for my test run of the upcoming Super Metroid low% TAS. The test run is released as WIPs and only available to Super Metroid experts I know and trust. If you think you have useful suggestions, feel free to contact me using known ways.
Note: the speed improvements listed here are theoretical for the most part. Realistically, the actual savings will most likely be smaller than those stated below the headings. Finishing time goals are listed as a range of "theoretical minimum" to "barely acceptable". Total theoretical improvement: up to 107 frames.
