This is a decent port of the game (unlike the terrible NES
version...)
- Jumped straight through most guards. This saves a lot of time.
- Skipped getting the sword on the first level.
- Avoided fighting the skeleton on Level 3 by luring it to the left and jumping over it.
- Took some fall damage during levels 8-10 because it saved time or was unavoidable.

Btw why is it longer than the NES version?

Slower stuff compared with the NES version:
- All movements are slightly slower.
- Can't jump as frequently, and jumping is faster than running.
- Gates open slower.
- Guards have more health.
- You can't catch ledges if you run off an edge or fall through a loose tile.
- You can't catch ledges that are below where you jumped from.
- Significant level differences:
- Level 3: Skeleton takes longer to deal with.
- Level 7: The areas near the 2nd and 3rd guards are more complex.
- Level 9: You have to go up and fight the guard on the far right.
- Level 9: You have to drop a tile onto a switch by the exit to hold the left gate open.
- Level 9: Extra gates on the far left.
- Level 10: You can't skip the right half of the level because there's a gate in the way.
Faster stuff:
- Jumping through guards.
- Significant level differences.
- Level 1: Skipping the sword.
- Level 4: No need to fight the first guard.
- Level 5: The exit switch is by the exit, not on the far right.
- Level 5: You don't need to drop back down to the start to open the left gate.
The first list is a lot bigger, go figure.
