After grinding this category out over the last couple years and only recently getting back into it, I have finally achieved sub 5. I honestly still can't believe it really happened. Had to have a few people retime it in order to get the exact time, but after determining the Bowser pattern (4:59.923) + losing 3 frames on axe, we got the time above. Ran on Nestopia 1.4.
Here's a link to the NSV file for this session; https://www.mediafire.com/file/eg8da1fpn42rnos/Super+Mario+Bros.+++Duck+Hunt+(U).nsv/file
As for my splits, they are slightly off due to a late split on the axe in 8-4, but I figured I'd provide them anyways.
Thank you so much for retiming all these runs mods!
