CasualPokePlayer: Hello and welcome to TASVideos MrTASer!
This is an okay TAS for a first-timer. However, TASVideos submissions need to beat already existing records. This submission's goal prioritizes score over speed, so it competes with our current published TAS. This movie's final score is 168300, with the published TAS getting a final score of 262710. As outlined by Spikestuff, your movie also fails to beat the latest published TAS in each event in various scoring metrics. The movie is also quite sloppy, note that while maximum score is the main goal, speed is a secondary goal and must be optimized when and after obtaining the maximum score. For instance, you should not aim for the longest jump in each long jump section, as only the longest jump is counted towards the game's scoring metrics. The same is true for the triple jump section or wind selection in Archery.
Don't be discouraged by this. Take your time with these movies, optimize them, and make sure to beat existing TASes and RTA runs. I suggest uploading WIP movies to the userfiles, and posting them on our forums and/or Discord for feedback.
Rejecting for failing to beat existing records.

3 Things. 1. Getting an Encode. 2. It's going against this movie which deliberately opts into using a second player for entertainment purposes making this comparison a bit more time consuming to do (I'll get a table done). 3. Light Spike in a bit.
Found the author's encode: Link to video Here's a table comparison. Good first attempt. Now you have a goal to beat. And here's a Light Spike of 3322 frames of blankish input. You started the game late, and I couldn't really fix that due to causing desync issues.

I'm actually not sure what to vote here. From the graphic of the comparison (read by my screen reader), some parts seem longer, but some are shorter.

The current video listed does a better job showing off some of the quirks and Easter eggs that this game has. This is a solid attempt, but I feel too much entertainment value was traded for speed (and there are obsoleted runs that are faster than this one from a pure speed perspective). I guess I'll wait until the posting gets updated with the runner's comments, it might explain some of the considerations and thinking.
