Author's comments and explanations:

This run is a 76 seconds improvement, 4559 frames, over Walker Boh's old run which re-uses levels. The run itself is 34525 frames long, 09:35.42 minutes.

It doesn't introduce anything new that wasn't used in my full TAS of this game.

This run of Wizards & Warriors uses the re-use levels trick, where the player cuts through the forest in level 5 to return to level 1, and instead of playing the castle levels, re-plays level 1 - 3. Killing the level 3 boss makes the player complete the game. This also makes the player complete one level less than done in the full run, since level 6 does not have a boss.

The 4 first levels are re-played, and eventually faster than they were in my full TAS, so they are NOT identical to my other run. The first 4 levels are about 500 frames faster than in the full TAS. The replayed levels looks different than the first time I went through them due to changed luck manipulation, or different routes (Such as the one in level 2, which could not be done the first time around, but was a lot faster).

Not much to say other than that I discovered that the game has a 30-isch frame rule at the end of each level that I was not aware of during the creation of the full TAS.

Mostly thanks to phunqsauce for watching through all the WIPs all the time and giving me some suggestions.

Enjoy.
