How do you time a start? From press start to transition screen after 4? Or from mario control to last rivet in 4 cleared.

Honestly there is just as much luck with getting high scores, if not more, than with speed running.

the main issue is that speed running shows less skill than point pressing, in addition to a lot of randomness that affects your ability to speedrun.  The springs is the best example at any time you may have to abort your run to the ladder and wait for the next chance.
