Not that I'm an expert, but he's either TAing it or has unbelievable luck with some of his jumps.

That wasn't just skill. At 2:28, you can see the guy jump through a piranha plant. In fact, you can see Mario hitting the piranha plants a few times, so unless the piranha plants were far more forgiving than I remember, this doesn't seem legit.

As for whether this is tool-assisted, I think it is. It's not as obvious as the other one, but this guy does a lot of showing off that's really risky. Yeah, I'm almost certain on this now, actually.

Okay, that second guy jumped through a shitload of piranha plants in World 8, and I'm almost sure I saw him swim right through a spinning fire thing in water section of the castle.

He explains in the video description that it's because the game has poor hit detection (jumping through the top of piranha plants is extremely common), same as why you can jump through Bowser's hammer sometimes.
Also, a character's sprite and his hitbox don't necessarely match perfectly :

Why wasn't it on SDA?
Also, it really is beautiful to watch that run...

Idunno... maybe they're backlogged or something. It'll be up eventually.

In that video not_sure posted, doesn't he lose a faction of a second at the end of 8-3 when he runs into the base of the flagpole?

I saw that too, and no doubt it hurt his time. That is what is great about this being a real run though and not a tool assisted one, there are flaws, but so few.

Me too, but mine ends with broken NES controllers every time.

He does that to avoid getting fireworks.

He probably does that so he doesn't get fireworks and slow down his time.
EDIT: NS beat me to it.

So the guy is watching the game clock at the same time he is running the levels? That is damn impressive.
