Item Abuse TAS in

EDIT: This is no longer the fastest completion of Item Abuse.... :/ Panga beat it D:

This is the fastest completion of Item Abuse. This beats the old record by penangbenny of 7:35 by huge 1180 frames (a total of 19.667 seconds.)

Time from start of movie to last frame of input: 7:02.35, time from start of movie to start of credits: 7:15

This TAS of Item Abuse contains many new small breaks and a few major ones that end up saving most of the time. Also, there were many optimizations on top of the breaks to add to the time saved. The major breaks include the new orange room strategy. This is just a faster version of Fethy's break idea. By eating a shell the same time you land on it with Yoshi, you bounce up, and you still have the shell, allowing you to do multiple consecutive jumps. This helped us skip most of the orange room. Another new break that saved a bunch of time was the purple room skip. In this room we grabbed the key the save frame we got the P Balloon, allowing use to fly under the level, and by timing it correctly, we ended with a speed of 52 for the rest of the level. Another minor break was the new strategy we used to pass through the ground in the water room. For this strategy, we went back to the original strategy of using two items to push Mario into the wall, and jumping. However, the old way had Mario run over to the muncher and back, which was very slow. Instead, we timed the shell to hit us as we were passing through the ground, saving around 43 frames over the other strategy (the one penangbenny used) of falling through the floor next to the muncher, to prevent having to run back to the muncher. Another new strategy that saved time was the unfinished air catch in the disco shell room. This allowed us to dive much faster to get under the muncher, rather than wait for the air catch to finish. Some other new ideas and optimizations saved some time, such as the new strategy in the first room, the extra shell jump in the disco shell room, and several optimizations of past strategies.
