It took me about three months to finish the run.This run was some different from Mario warpless run of SFC,it uses Luigi,who can jump higher,have larger inertia than Mario.And it Includes World1 to World9.I tried my best for entertaining and speed.
Time-saving Improvements
Mushroom trick in 1-1:It's similar to Luigi's warp run
Jumped through firebars in 6-4:This route was used by Mario run in SFC first,now it can be used by Luigi,too.
7-4:Luigi can't go through the three units high block entirely without slow down speed,but it still faster than the normal route.
Complete the levels without go into castle in9-1,9-2,9-4:it can save many time,but in 9-4,it is the end when Luigi hit the flag post,so it don't save time actually.
Level Highlights
1-1:Luigi went through the ground with mushroom
1-2:Luigi didn't run in the top of the stage likes Mario.
1-4,2-4,3-4:Boss was killed by 4 fireballs.
4-1:The third Lakitu relived after it killed by fireball.
4-4:Went through the wall and Boss was killed by 4 fireballs,too.
5-1:Watch carefully!A Goomba didn't died although a fireball hit it.
6-1:Went through the pipe with slow down.
6-4:Jumped through the firebars twice.
7-4:A red Koopa helped me to clean the enemy,but it cost me a lag frames in the Boss screen.
8-2:A Piranha plant was killed although it hid in the pipe.
8-4:Similar to the Luigi's warp run, but the latest Boss have to be killed.
9-1,9-2,9-4:Clear the level in the left of flag post.

Nach: For a warpless run, the audience really wants to see levels A-D too. Hence this kind of run would probably be best done with the SNES version.
Please see rejection messages from previousruns for more information.
Was this meant to be canceled?
Also, for some reason this submission seemed to have the wrong system (was NES, although ROM filename impiled FDS). Changed to FDS.

Is there any reason you don't use the SNES version, unlike all the other warpless runs of Super Mario Bros. 2 JPN? There's a reason why those use the SNES version - to get worlds A-D in the run. A proper warpless submission should include those stages as well, in order to continue on with the standard/precedent set by several other publications.

<dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects.

<adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

only if the run had a savestate/back rom (not sure if it is the case) starting right after finishing the game 10 times so you can unlock worlds A-D
My first language is not English, so please excuse myself if I write something wrong. I'll do my best do write as cleary as I can, so cope with me here =)

An IPS-patched ROM with Worlds A-D enabled was one of the approved hacks before that rule was changed.
Or to start with a savestate that used a cheat code which unlocked worlds A-D? I wonder if that's approvable. If it is, I would prefer a warpless run of FDS version using a cheat code rather than SNES version, due to more glitches (I bet there are will be lots of improvements coming on).

I'd approve of a patch to unlock A-D, if it is ensured that the patch does that unlock and nothing more.
Edit:
Save state is worse, because it certainly does a whole lot more than just the unlock, and requires a bit of research to know what it does other than than the unlock, and how it affects the game.

I think yes.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

With the new category system/rules, we would be open to this category. Should this be rejudged?
Has there been any rule change since this run's judgement (Jan. 23 2013)?

I have an idea...
TAS this game from Power On by beating it seven times then upload it to microstorage or usermovies.
TAS this game from SRAM created by previous TAS by beating the game twice then submit.
Warped:
Start
World 1-2 to World 4
World 5-2 to World 8
Beat the game
After returning to title...
A+Start
World A-2 to World B
World B-4 to World D
Beat the game
Warpless:
Start
Beat the game
Play through World 9-4 then die
After returning to title...
A+Start
Beat the game
