Emuraloz just uploaded a video showing away to despawn sprites with the Magic Rod: youtube.com/watch?v=cDq820afIAM
While that method does not work on the DX version of the game, I came up with a method that does work! The way it works is that by having too many sprites on the screen, new sprites can't spawn on the next screen. This is done by CRAZY luck with the digging.
This was recorded with save states for a proof-of-concept. I'm looking forward to seeing this be done wiithout in a speedrun ;). Probably if a different method is found for it.

2-1: While there is an easily accessable Bonus Room, you arent actually shot out from a barrel after the bonus, so there is no speed you can keep throughout the level.
2-2: Pretty much the same as regularly.
2-3: Entering the Winky room to build up the speed. Winky does not move any faster, he would only cost time to get.
2-4: I like how I didnt have to lose any speed to avoid the Rockrocs, worked out nicely!
2-5: You can only reach the Warp Barrel with Donkey and setting this up was a bit tricky to do fast as I need to keep jumping to keep the speed and pushing the tire at the same time was dumb.
