Hello TheOnlyOne and welcome to TASVideos. For Mappy a single loop is actually completing 16 Rounds (Levels), which the NES version completes (as a comparison). Unfortunately meaning that this movie has another 11 stages to go through. Best of luck completing Mappy.
Editing Updates. So I was able to get around to watching the input. Unfortunately this is very much RTA play being made, and compared to an actual RTA run that features an optimal Round 1 (route) the TAS is slower: Link to video I also did a quick run on Round 1 to compare against yours. You can check out that input here.

The submission notes state: "this is my first actual TAS using frame advance" It's awesome that you are using a new TASing tool that you haven't with your prior TASing. I'd strongly encourage you to investigate the TAStudio tool. It makes visualizing/setting inputs on a frame-by-frame basis for any frame in your TAS. In my opinion, it makes TASing a bit easier as backing up and re-doing portions of a run can be performed while maintining future inputs (that may or may not need changed depending on the game). Also, make sure your submitted runs are meeting our rules; specifically in this instance (as Spike mentioned), making sure that the submission gets to the point where the game starts to loop. The guidelines would also be a good resource to read through. Keep working at your skills, and you'll (hopefully soon) produce something publishable!
