In B3313 v0.7, the end of the game is meant to follow a linear path, from Peach's Floor to Bowser Room to Bowser's Floor to Peach's Cell to Eternal Fort. However, the area that contains Peach's Floor and Bowser's floor are actually the same area, separated by either out of bounds or a big wall. So, if you could get from Peach's Floor to Bowser's Floor with some clever movement, then you could skip the Bowser Room, which could save time in the 30 star or 145 star TAS. The most likely solution is to bypass the big wall. On one side is the garden in Peach's Floor, and on the other is the pipe to Peach's Cell in Bowser's Floor. Unfortunately, none of the BLJ spots I found could do it. They couldn't get enough speed before breaking out, or my speed got killed. The big wall is also too tall to do any clever movement on in order to get over. However, if I build enough speed, I can jump over the wall because Mario's jump height is proportional to his speed. My plan was too do hyperspeed wall kicks (HSWK), which involves holding precise joystick inputs to gain speed in the air and doing first-frame wall kicks to preserve speed. (Side note, this ROM hack gives you one extra frame to wall kick and not lose all of your speed.) With about 240 speed, I can do a double jump and then dive to bring my speed back down to 48 as to not bonk on the wall. From there the pipe is on the other side. Unfortunately, while this strat to get over the big wall is cool and skips a whole area, it ended up being 20 seconds slower than going through the Bowser Room. While there could be time to save on both, I don't think it would be enough to make the skip work. With skip: 1'08"57 Without skip: 48"20
