Obsoletes movie #180 (07:38.65)

- Aims for fastest time
- Takes no damage
- Manipulates luck
A hard if not impossible to beat movie (previous movie's description) improved by 51 seconds. This is Andrey's first published movie here.

It's a simple game, but doing a competitive TAS of it requires some study at how the game works. For example, one major improvement comes from using the B button to swim faster.
