Edits/Corrections:
We made a few factual errors in this video, but the overall story is still the same. Below is a list of known mistakes. Sorry for the confusion!
@6:29 - there are 4* bends in world 1 and 3* of them take you to Orangutan Gang
@7:54 - This was a misunderstanding on our part. Around 2004, the original jumproll tricks were found, the ones that were NOT useful for speedrunning. The netplay session where the USEFUL jumprolls were found happened around 2007-2008. This still pre-dates the first official run, so this date misunderstanding doesn't really affect the story.
@10:27 - As noted above, TJP's segmented run doesn't use Jumprolls because useful jumprolls hadn't been discovered by this time.
@11:30 - It has come to my attention that I misunderstood the version differences a bit. Mapwarp doesn't work on either of the japanese versions (1.0 or 1.1) but it DOES work on PAL 1.0 and 1.1. I was under the impression that mapwarp was patched out, but instead, it was a few other bug fixes.
@21:03 - Apparently, this discussion took place sometime in 2013, not 2014. the exact date/time is lost.
@33:12 - This SJR was found almost a year later, which is why the WRs in 2016 didn't have a single 4-6 SJR in them
@40:40 - as noted on screen, I said he rolled through "3 enemies instead of 4 ", but its actually "1 enemy instead of 3"
