THIS HAS BEEN IMPROVED (1:20.05): youtu.be/6SIYb80MRVk

Used old 3lap for first 2.5 laps, and second half of new fast lap TAS for second half of lap 3 (since lakitu places you in same exact spot for both 3lap and flap, can reuse same input for both). Had to redo the bowl cut on lap 1 since that used a shroom in the old TAS, but shrooming at the end saves more time (bowl shroom saves about 0.5, ending shroom about 0.8). Can probably save a few more frames there, but this is good enough for now.

Why didn't I do the new SC on all 3 laps? Read the description of the fast lap TAS to find out: [youtu.be/3QAq8ktt8Xg] Summary: After doing the new SC, you cannot warp from pink wall to ramp. The warp from wall to ramp saves ~6 seconds, and the new bounce to stands SC saves ~5 seconds, so it is not worth doing the new SC on laps 1 or 2.

Now you might be thinking: "Even though the warp to wall saves more time than the bounce to stands, the warp can only be done twice in a 3lap, while the bounce to stands can be done 3 times. 6x2=12 seconds, and 5x3=15 seconds, so isn't it better to do just bounce to the stands on all 3 laps? Also, the ~5 second timesave is compared to the finish line warp, but on laps 1 and 2 you drive around the long way, so doesn't the new SC actually save ~6 seconds on those laps?" The answer to those questions is probably yes, but I didn't think of doing that until I was writing this description. But doing that means I can't just copy the inputs from the fast lap TAS, and my head hurts from all the bouncing so I don't want to do it again so soon. (I'll probably do it next weekend)
[The previous paragraph is wrong, with the current bounce it is only faster to do it once.]
