Why Yoshi? Because I didn't consider the off-road initially, and only realized my mistake in lap 3. I went back to see how Dry Bones would save. Less than 1 frame per lap. Decided it was not worth the effort to redo it for that.
Also, this is my first upload in HD. :)

Quite a few power-ups here. Start as fire with fire in inventory, get hurt and use inventory, get another fire then become mini.
Going through that wall is pretty easy.
Apparently I forgot to make this one public when I first uploaded it along with the normal 2-C clear. Oops!")

Creating the video wasnt as hard as the second one, since I already knew the basics of video editing this time. Its still quite a bit of work, though...")

Yup, I beat the PRB TAS. :)
Those big hops are pretty precise. And fast, too!

This level features a glitch, so thats cool. Theres also quite a bit going on elsewhere, so this was a fun level to do. I ended up redoing most of it after my initial run.
With the correct use of L/R, jumping on the swinging ropes can save 1 frame each. And they seem to spawn a decent distance off-screen; I had to scroll the camera significantly earlier than Id have expected.
The boss uses RNG (as well as Marios position) to determine where it will pop back up. It also is immune to fireballs for a few frames after being hit by one, so some of my shots are delayed by a frame.")

The conveyors are pretty weird. When Mario lands on them, they change Marios speed by the speed at which they are moving, but in the opposite direction. (This basically cancels out the amount that it moves Mario itself, until Marios speed re-adjusts.) When he jumps off, it again changes Marios speed to reverse what it did when Mario landed. However, if Mario is inside his shell then the conveyors do not affect his speed when he lands. Thus, by landing on a conveyor that is moving in the same direction as Mario is moving, then immediately jumping, Marios speed can be increased. And because the game doesnt cap Marios speed at his maximum while hes inside the shell and in the air (or on the frame that he lands), this speed can be maintained and the effect can be stacked to build up unlimited speed. Well, except that the game doesnt allow Mario to move by more than 8 pixels per frame under his own speed. But thats still much faster than even star speed!
Since maintaining this speed requires constantly doing frame perfect jumps, there are limited options for how to move around. So even though the route I take to reach the 2nd star coin then back down isnt the shortest, it is the fastest. Its barely possible to get into the next room with that speed. But also, a couple faster options are barely NOT possible.
It is possible to go above the wall thats to the left of the 2nd star coin, from the other side. A mid-air shell jump allows Mario to reach a platform that is above the screen. Another mid-air jump from that platform can get over the rest of the wall. This is far slower, but only due to the speed glitch.
The glitch through the wall/ceiling near the end is done by being less than 1 pixel from the ceiling while moving far enough into the wall that the game considers Mario to be on top of a portion of the wall. (This is the same as a straight-up wall jump with mini-Mario, except without mini Mario it requires super speed.) This will push Mario up a bit, since the game wants Mario to be actually on top of a block when hes standing on it. This is enough height that Mario is now in the ceiling and so not pushed outside the wall.
It is also possible to use this glitch to reach the 2nd star coin, but this is pretty slow due to the wall setting Marios speed to 0. (And also the conveyors before that point arent enough, so youd have to build up speed below the 2nd star coin and then go backwards.)
The boss fight uses RNG to determine if Petey Piranha will immediately lunge down at Mario or fly around for a while. I also opted to not ground-pound for the first hit (which would do double damage), instead doing it for the 2nd hit, because doing 2 damage causes Petey Piranha to jump around before flying.")
