It's the third time I did the run of the game. This one is 3332 frames (55.53 seconds) faster than the published run. Main improvement: warped to final boss by a nearer shortcut (lots of time was saved), manipulated luck to get hearts, faster boss fighting, optimized some movement, and no turbo in the run.

NesVideoAgent: Hi! I am a robot. I took a few screenshots of this movie and placed them here. Oh! I also replaced the ROM name.
