This movie plays Excitebike really fast with an improvement of over a second compared to the previous movie ( https://tasvideos.org/1070M ) by JXQ.
Times for each track are:
0 = 36.19 (0.35 improved)
1 = 37.84 (0.40 ")
2 = 38.67 (0.19 ")
3 = 41.96 (0.02 ")
4 = 41.00 (0.02 ")
5 = 31.34 (0.40 ")
Cumulative ingame savings: 1.38s
Main improvements come from taking ramps faster and a unique trick in which the author goes slower to get a better time. Look for further info in the author's comments ( https://tasvideos.org/2383S ).
The encode for this movie features commentary in the form of soft subtitles.
This movie also has two Atlas Map encodes, one of Track 1 ( • NES Atlas: Excitebike (Track 1) ), and one of Track 2 ( • NES Atlas: Excitebike (Track 2) ), which shows the standard encode overlaid on a zoomed out map.
