I had forgotten to collect the Rat at the very end. Thankfully "Emmet McCormack" on Youtube told me about the rat, so I went back and fixed it. Still slightly faster than the world record mostly due to balloon glitch.
I found this mostly entertaining, though around the 8-minute mark (I went back and checked), it started to feel repetitive. No fault of yours, of course. I'm going with Meh.
I didn't mind the awesome music though, especially when your constantly collecting treasure kept the best part going!
I have a question though: why didn't you fall down a lot more of the holes like you did in your any% submission? Is it slower to do so, or does it take the same amount of time as climbing down and doing the latter was a stylistic choice?

I didn't fall down because each fall takes away 100 points, therefore you are unable to obtain maximum score :P
If max score was the main goal and speed tradeoffs (assuming climbing down is slower) were used to achieve that goal, then this should be published with the branch name "maximum score", right?

Exactly what I was thinking. "Max score" seems more descriptive.
A hundred years from now, they will gaze upon my work and marvel at my skills but never know my name. And that will be good enough for me.
Thanks, Ferret Warlord. I've corrected it. I hope feos notices the change before putting "100%" in the encodes.
To clarify, the run aims for (fastest) maximum score because it forgoes a trick that saves time but takes away points. Items contribute to the score, so achieving 100% is an inherent secondary goal.

Oh man, so great to see this. I wanted to do this game about a year ago but it wouldn't emulate on BizHawk for some reason.
Big nostalgia hit. I think as a kid I came one ladder-fall from this score, needless to say I played it endlessly. Looked like some nice moves getting past the various enemies and with the balloon glitch.
And, of course, this game has the best ending ever...
