This movie is my 9th attempt at Ghosts 'n Goblins. It is 15.083 seconds (905 frames) faster than the first quest of GuanoBowl's movie.
Level 1 - "The wise and courageour knight"
- 31 frames faster, mostly at the boss.
- Picked up the torch, because it's needed on level 2.
Level 2 - "A trap devisut by Satan"
- 162 frames faster.
- Took the low route instead of high at the Ice Palace.
- Sneaked into the house by using the torch on the big guy who's guarding the first ladder.
- The bird at the top of the house is semi-manipulatable.
- Manipulated all of the lifts.
- This innocent-looking boss battle caused me to go temporarily insane. I took a long break from playing because of it.
Level 3 - "You feel strongth welling. In your body."
- 204 frames faster.
- The cavern part is slightly faster because of the torch.
- At blue mountain, some shots might look like they miss, but they don't.
- Saved a lot of time by manipulating the boss to move in a different pattern.
Level 4 - "Make rapid progres!"
- 9 frames faster.
- Slightly improved the moving-platform part and the boss battle.
- Absurdly easy level.
Level 5 - "This room is an illusion"
- 150 frames faster.
- New route.
- This level is all about the moving platform that the knight has to get on. It's semi-manipulatable. There is no point to getting there as fast as possible if he has to wait a long time for the platform. So, note that the minor slowdown at second ladder does not lose time; it ultimately saves time.
Level 6 - "Go ahead dauntlessly!"
- 309 frames faster.
- As you might guess from the previous sentence, I'm very happy about the improvements on this level.
- New route.
- Unlike the level 2 double-boss nightmare, this one was fun, because I kept finding ways to improve it.
Level 7 - "Congraturation"
- NOTE: If the knight doesn't have the cross/shield weapon at this point, he can't enter the throne room.
- 40 frames faster.
- Yes, 40 frames faster.
