Fadeout lug shortening of the beginning and the highest floor
Since the random number became good by this, "Short Sword" equipment was also optimized.
Optimization of shopping
sell "Tome of Arms 1" and buy "Tonic"*4 and "CASTLE MAP1." The necessity that this takes
"Head Guard" was lost.
Change of the enemy who Attack for LVUP. Route change accompanying it
The enemy who attacks is changed into "Final Guard"*4 from "keremet". This one is synthetically
quicker although one upper level which it becomes impossible to take "Double-jump" and suffers
troubles by "Death" Battle also falls.
Special Thanks
arukAdo: The route of "Final Sword" version TAS Submission #2513 which he made is the origin of this TAS.
gocha: I was allowed to refer to a memory address list. Moreover, it is the direction first solved in "Multiple hits Glitch". More than half of this TAS is made of his distinguished services.
Dooty: Accepted. Although it's still not easy to tell exactly what's going on most of the time, and this is a good thing, the new route made it much cleaner than your previous run.

Surprisingly, it was still quite interesting watching you destroy the Final Guard 4 times, since you dominate him so thoroughly. Nice improvements!
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.
I must admit, I looked away for just a moment, and I ended up losing track of everything. But the good use of that one foe to quickly get to the level needed to do well in the final boss was what sold this. YES vote.

It does kind of make me sad that the DS Castlevania games that I love so much get so abused by TASers :( :P I just need to figure out how to move like that myself. And this one had plenty of character switching which is funny to listen to :P
Hmm, I generally prefer to know what's actually going on in a run like this; the enjoyment isn't in seeing the encode and wtfing for me, it's in seeing a description of the glitches and routes involved. The submission message could do with a link to descriptions of the tricks that make this run possible.
