Nothing that goes as high as the concrete mathematical term "massive"?
At any rate, I remember that trick. It was even better in Lost Levels, because you had access to a similar trick at the very start of level one. I ended up having to use that trick, but fortunatly I managed to beat every single world without warping, giving me access to world 9, the world that smoked a game genie.
The "minus world" as it is commonly called is really just a repeat of the first water level over and over again. It doesn't add anything except perhaps a challenge. How many times can you go through the loop before the timer runs out? Anyway, you've seen the video, so you know the idea is to destroy a couple bricks to give you some head room and then jump backwards while ducking in such a way as to "clip" through the remaining brick and get into the warp zone without triggering the normal warp zone code, resulting in going into a pipe that has no idea where to send you and thus warp you back to world -1, or the "minus world", using the first template it seems to be able to find, the first water level of the game, minus the end.
The trick is to hold down, and then jump straight up, and then hold right as you are going up. To be honest, I have to try many times to get into it myself. It's tricky.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
