How you doing, people?!!!
Throughout the past month or so this year, I have seen JXQ's TAS of this game, but never seen a speed run of this on a real console. That is your chance to volunteer!
From Start to the final shot that defeated the final boss Icepick, the fastest I got so far (in-game time) was 0:16:30 single segment but never recorded it since I don't own an NES right now - just an emulator. The strategies I got so far involves a few things:
Building up food/music currency: At the Royandale Mall in Level 2, the latest TAS showed entering a few secret stores which I did take advantage of. I took advantage of that while entering the wrong store on purpose (which takes a :30 second penalty off the delivery time) and entering non-secret stores with :30 seconds or less remaining to get food/music currency.
Buying the Afterburner at the Beaches in Level 3: This was one of the most difficult parts of the game because crabs, seagulls, body-builders, and roller-skaters were approaching rapidly. Sometimes, luck was also hard to manipulate because at times Rodney will sell the Hangtime before the Afterburner - and can be hard to chase down with a Rocket.
Energy pickups at the Abandoned Warehouse in Level 4: After memorizing rooms in many sections, I now know some of the nearest spots I can go to in case I get shot too many times and/or before preparing to face the final boss.
I have written a PDF of the entire walkthrough of this game and submitted it to Neoseeker, and I also re-incorporated it as a Wiki at the IGN web site. That should give everyone here a chance to study the game a little bit more. I really hope this helps! Also, if you want my donation, I would pay to see two players race through this game at the next GDQ event!

Thanks, all.
