SMW challenge from nathanisbored: Clear Valley of Bowser 3 with at least 250 left on the timer. I cannot enter the pipe as a shortcut.

After learning what to do where in the level, I was able to finish with 251 left after not too many tries. However, nathanisbored had told me his record was 252, so I kept trying, and eventually I achieved 253!

In addition to knowing what to do, I think the biggest hiccup is the jump right after midpoint. If the RNG decides not to let Mario jump high enough to reach a 6-tile high platform, it screws up the run. Also, I'm not sure if there's a way to preserve max speed for the entire level (I always lose it shortly after the previously mentioned jump), but it's not necessary to beat the time requirement (or nathanisbored's record!).

Overworld music:
Valley of Bowser: DKC2 - Welcome to Crocodile Isle
Level music:
Valley of Bowser 3: Ninja Gaiden NES - Ryu's Determination

This challenge is pretty simple, but you really have to know the level well in order to complete it!
Creativity: 7.5
Difficulty: 9
I look forward to the next challenge!

Feel free to comment, but just know that I dislike profanity. Any comments containing F-bombs and/or S-bombs will fail the jump to the 6-tile high ledge and fall into the abyss! (In other words, they'll be deleted.)
