1-1: Just a standard completion of the level. This level is similar to 1-1 when it comes to completing the level. Doing a walljump here didn't lose any framerule and was just did for entertainment purposes. (Made By Me)
1-2: 1-2's level layout is kind of similar to the original 1-2 of Super Mario Bros. (Made By Suzumiya)
1-3: 1-3 is straight up goal is to avoid obstacles (Made By Me)
1-4: 1-4 is already maxed out by Niftski, Niftski was also the one who TAS'sed this level and has given me the inputs. (Made By Niftski)
feos: This game is so obscure than Google only knows about a single place where it's mentioned, the only other one being this submission. Youtoube has about 8 videos of it. This means that if something happens with the only existing source, we will have to run around asking people whether someone had this backed up. In the current form we can't even link to the source because it contains the entire patched ROM instead of just a patch itself. All this contradicts the intent of Movie Rules #GameChoiceInGeneral. While this hack is not terrible, it's still risky to accept it, and no we can't host patch files ourselves.
However our Playground #Requirements are much more lax, and this run is really well done, so let it be showcased there instead of actual publications.

Much like the previous submission there isn't much information regarding this hack.
(It also doesn't help that 3 months after the previous submission that the community still doesn't distribute the files as ips/bps files instead.)
So, what is the purpose of this hack? What is the goal (besides completing 4 levels) of this hack?
Grabbing comments from the previous submission we have comments such as--

Is there any kind of description of this hack and source/origin in the form of a patch file?

- This Romhack has very little additions if there are any compared to the original version of the game.
- This Romhack only removes levels instead of changing/increasing the entertainment and/or difficulty.

Meh. There's so much more interesting SMB romhacks around to TAS. This one looked mostly trivial to execute, other than the 1-4 pipe glitch, which admittedly was very cool. The technical quality of the TAS wasn't half bad, so props on that, but basically anything in this TAS could be seen in other SMB TASes already.
--which personally either answers a few things about the hack, or is yet to be answered.

ROM Infos
- The ROM hack seems to be made by speedrun.com speedrunner wucens
- He uploaded the full ROM to the speedrun.com site to the page of this particular game (do NOT link the site!!!). There is no IPS or other method to download only the changes.
- This ROM hack also has a sequel, Super Bob 2 also by wucens
Gameplay Infos (my personal observation after watching the encode. Note: I heard 0 audio while watching the encode)
- Removed: This game has removed many levels. Only 4 + 2 sub levels exists
- Added: No addition.
- Changed: Mario named to Bob. Level number sprite. Mario sprite. A different starting position before Bowser for a sub stage. Peach sprite.
Personally think this ROM hack is very low quality comparing to many other SMB ROM hacks. And this ROM hack seems so simple, that I'm going to assume the only reason this exists is that players of speedrun.com getting a chance to have 1st place by creating yet another SMB ROM hack to have much less competition while the best SMB speedrunners are going for either the original or the more challenging and entertaining ones.
I also hate that speedrun.com just casually hosts ROMs while also collecting profit from different sources.
edit: Offtopic speedrun.com ROM hosting information:
According to the site's terms of use, the company is located in Texas called Elo Entertainment Inc. and their ROM relevant informations are under No unlawful or prohibited use and User submissions through the website basically saying they are not responsible for users actions of doing this ROM hosting.
