FractalFusion: Too bad the original movie didn't even reach the ending with the guy holding Baby Moses. In any case, Aqfaq mentioned that the run may be actively worked on for an improvement. So I will set the run to cancelled.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

LOL. This is hilarious. That guy is the most epic video game character I've EVER SEEN. Better not fuck with him or he'll run at you at full speed. He'll obliterate your door. Spears are too weak to even tickle. He's immune to spikes. Fuck drowning. He just teleports instead. He doesn't relent. He doesn't tire. He's like a Nazi eskimo.

Not a big change from the currently published run, but a nice improvement indeed!
However, there is one issue. You don't get the same ending as the currently published run. In fact, I think you die before the boss does, so you get the Game Over screen instead of the proper ending. That should be fixed before I can vote Yes on this.
Used to be a frequent submissions commenter. My new computer has had some issues running emulators, so I've been here more sporadically.
Still haven't gotten around to actually TASing yet... I was going to improve Kid Dracula for GB. It seems I was beaten to it, though, with a recent awesome run by Hetfield90 and StarvinStruthers. (http://tasvideos.org/2928M.html.)
Thanks to goofydylan8 for running Gargoyle's Quest 2 because I mentioned the game! (http://tasvideos.org/2001M.html)
Thanks to feos and MESHUGGAH for taking up runs of Duck Tales 2 because of my old signature!
Thanks also to Samsara for finishing a Treasure Master run. From the submission comments:
Shoutouts and thanks to mklip2001 for arguably being the nicest and most supportive person on the forums.

This is a tremendous issue - the current movie does not actually complete the game. Some testing suggests that even if the player is killed after the boss is, it still results in a game over.
I therefore present this run, with maTO's original boss fight replacing the one resulting in a game over (and, thus, is 5 frames slower). Since this movie does complete the game, if the run is being considered for acceptance, this movie should take its place.

LOL, Anoobis thought the game over screen was the ending.
Sorry about that.
The ending can be fixed, and maybe some more frames can be saved by taking less damage on the enemies before the final boss. Hopefully, there is a secret agent working on improving it as we speak.

Yes vote, the game is so strange and unpredictable that it maintains entertainment value throughout. Do fix the ending, though, as per Nicos' suggestion.
Good thing I saw sgrunt's post. But there is another problem.
The movie file needs to be fixed further, as the game does not proceed to the credits. It wasn't fixed in the published run.
This should probably be rejected if the great lord Anoobis does not see fit to correct this movie, and soon.
