I never liked this game. It feels like it doesn't belong to the mario series, kinda like Zelda 2. It's not really a bad game but I just can't stand having to throw turnips at enemies and all that fancy stuff. Good luck on the speed run though :)
Oh ho! That's because it doesn't! It was a reskinned game, from a Famicom game called Doki Doki Panic. Nintendo wanted to sell it as Mario 2 here, so they reskinned it with Mario characters.
The bushes in Super Mario Bros. were just recolored clouds.
This may be obvious, but since you're speed running the game, I assume you're familiar with The speed run site of the web, speed demo archives (<a href="http://speeddemosarchive.com/">http://speeddemosarchive.com/</a>)? It has a page dedicated to Super Mario II (<a href="http://speeddemosarchive.com/Mario2.html">http://speeddemosarchive.com/Mario2.h tml</a>) and you should check out the forums too.
But I imagine you already know all this, right?
Btw, you are a great games maker and deserve salutations and kudos for all the great games you've made in the past!

Tool-Assisted speedrun or not?
