Circus Charlie is a simple game that most people probably know from pirate multigame carts. The first stages are easy for anyone even on real NES, but stage 3 is already quite challenging.

This movie plays "1 player game A" (easy). Ironically, this is MORE challenging for tool-assisted gameplay.

Stage times: 3410, 3560, 3750, 3890, 4270.

This movie obsoletes the previous movie by a mere 1 frame. This was done by a changed strategy in level 3. The unprecedentedly small margin of improvement is a result of how close to perfection this movie has become. This is most likely the final optimization of this game.
