It's the same challenge as before, but this time, it's TAS-ed, and I've got a couple of new point-avoiding tricks up my sleeve!
When you collect an item or kill an enemy for points, it doesn't add those points to your score immediately. If you go down a pipe, enter a door, Start+Select out of a level, or die during the next instant, you won't actually get those points. So, I could collect a mushroom and immediately go down a pipe to avoid the 1000 points. Guess which level near the beginning of the game has a side area conveniently close to the 10th red berry that I'll have Yoshi eat?
Also, collecting a mushroom or flower from your reserve item will never give you points (feathers will though, unless you're already caped).
By combining these two facts with the avoid time up death glitch, I can clear any level in the game where Yoshi isn't forbidden with a time bonus of zero! This means, the only levels that I'm truly forced to collect points in on the way to Bowser are: Iggy's Castle, one of the Donut Ghost Houses, and Morton's Castle, for a grand total of 150 points!
Now, since I'm TAS-ing this, I may as well go nuts with fancy moves in some places. In particular, I remember a challenge some time ago where I had to defeat any bosses I could with just one flight, and I recently discovered that there are certain instances where you can let go of Y and X for a split-second, but still keep flying afterwards (allowing you to toss something and keep flying). I haven't figured out exactly why that is or how to do it consistently, but through a lot of effort, I was able to bring down Bowser with just one flight!

NOTE: This video's very long, and I don't want to spend forever annotating it, so don't expect tons of annotations.
UPDATE (Feb. 7, 2015): SMW has now been cleared start-to-finish with NO points! switchpalacecorner accomplished this feat here:

(Note: The video is extremely long, mainly due to tons of time being used for the power up incrementation glitch. Also, you may want to turn down your volume a bit, due to sound glitches present in the video.)
Feel free to comment, but just know that I dislike profanity. Any comments containing F-bombs and/or S-bombs will be Shadow Balled! (In other words, they'll be deleted.)
(Comments containing other types of inappropriate content may meet this fate as well.)
