After sharkey91 discovered the Dive Reset (youtu.be/7AAHTJUriRY), I thought of using it to get over the wall in the top room of the castle, and do the Endless Stairs Skip without using a heaven's portal. I hoped that it would then be possible to jump around the trigger to warp you back down the stairs by staying OoB. As it turns out, the Dive Reset wasn't even necessary! By charging Y-speed and triple jumping then diving, Mario gets barely enough height to clear the wall. And the trigger to warp back down the stairs doesn't extend past the walls at all, so it's easy to avoid.
This might save a second or two over the usual method of Endless Stairs Skip in a TAS, but I'm not 100% sure that it's faster.
When doing this normally, the staircase room wouldn't be loaded. Even if it was loaded this is most certainly TAS-only, as seam-walking is extremely precise in this game.

First ever sub 10!
4-2 was horrible, but the rest of the run was pretty great. I probably wont try to improve this until the speedrun patch comes out: Ill do Max Difficulty or No Damage runs until then.
