This could save a small amount of time, but to line it up properly without the hidden block may be TAS-only or even impossible. Then, tap right and you will immediately be shot out of the pipe.

Jump against the right side of it, and then when you're standing on the pipe hold down. To the left of this pipe is a hidden block. Go to any sideways pipe, such as the one in the first section of level 2. If you go over the flagpole and keep going, you get softlocked. If you go out of bounds and go to the very end of the level, you get softlocked. This also stops the flagpole from functioning properly. In level 3, you can cancel the ending animation if, after the enemy throws you, you jump back. Facing left before hitting the flagpole drastically slows the ending animation. It is faster to hit the bottom of the flagpole in a run as the ending animation is faster. As far as I can tell, this is completely useless. If an enemy falls onto your head, you may get pushed into the ground. If you go to level 1, hit the block under the checkpoint, get the checkpoint, then warp to level 4, you will be stuck inside the floor. If you hit it multiple times, the rate of spawning increases. In Level 1, there is a hidden block that constantly spawns purple mushrooms. This doesn't have any time-saving applications, but it can be done in Level 4 OoB and no time is lost. If you hold the up button during the lives screen, when you spawn in you can jump immediately. It may also speed up Level 4 if you jump from the firebar and clip through the block on the right. An easy way to test this is to go to Level 1 and jump leftwards into the bottom-left of the fake question block at the start.ДЄn application of this would be getting onto the first hidden block in Level 3, but it is so precise that it isn't even worth trying it. If you jump into the bottom-left of a block (or the bottom-left of the top part of a pipe) while facing left, you can teleport through it.

When I can, I'll try to get footage for them, but for now you'll have to trust me. Here are some things that I have noticed in the game.
