Secret Exit
Sandbar clip saves 12.87 seconds over the normal strat, however it is a *2 frame trick, and spin jumping early kills mario, while spin jumping late will just not get the clip.
 👀 Visual Cue: |
To be more specific, there are 2 guaranteed frames to clip through the sandbar. Because of the fickle nature of Mario's y-subpixel, there is a chance that one or both of the 2 frames before these 2 guaranteed frames won't kill Mario, but get the sandbar clip as well.
There's effectively a 1/8 chance only the 1st of the two early frames before the guaranteed frames clips through, a 1/8 chance only the 2nd frame before the guaranteed frames clips through, and a 1/16 chance that both can clip Mario through; in total, this gives a 3/16 (18.75%) chance that hitting the spin jump one or two frames early will still clip Mario through.
This phenomenon also leads to a paradox where one sandbar attempt can be successful, while another attempt that spin jumps later can have Mario die.

The jump up to the secret exit is luck based. If you miss it, just wait for the sandbar to rise and use it to jump up.

Room 1 can be adapted if you don't have yoshi by having a small delay at the beginning to let the sandbar go down.

Clip 1 skip can be achieved by duping the key fast enough. If don't get the key fast, just do clip 1.
