The −1 stage is completely different. In the NES and Unisystem versions, the −1 stage repeats infinitely and cannot be completed, but in FDS, it can be completed, and then come −2 and −3.

The −3 stage in FDS is a castle level, and completing it ends the game, even though it says "princess is in another castle". The princess is not seen in the ending, but she is sighted twice in the −1 stage, as shown in this movie.

This movie is 84 frames faster than the previous one due to the use of a "cheap trick".

In addition to the standard encode, there is an experimental encode produced in 10-bit YUV444 h.264, providing higher visual quality. You will need a very recent codec / media player (such as LAV Filters or mplayer2) to be able to play this experimental encode back. Feedback on this encode would be appreciated - please use the discussion thread for this movie for that purpose.
