It’s in some way related. This is the Tick Tock Clock (TTC) upwarp, a glitch that happened to a speedrunner (not ABC) where Mario got randomly teleported to a higher position. It was speculated that a bit flip happened due to cosmic ray, but it’s more likely that it was caused by a hardware bug instead.
pannenkoek2012, famous for creating A Button Challenge (ABC) TASes, put up a $1000 bounty for anyone who can solve (consistently reproduce) the TTC upwarp, since an upwarp would be very helpful in gaining height without pressing the A button to jump. This upwarp never got solved, but he already found ways to beat TTC without any A presses and it was insane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98EpPsaAF_k
