This is a 78 frame improvement over the previous submission created by adelikat which retains their input layout (for the most part).
The major difference is in the Pie Factory due to setting up better RNG for the moving ladders.
There's still the possibility I somehow missed something there, and if that's the case it'll only exist in Pie Factory.
The other major difference to the previous submission is the increase of swagger, that had to come back.
The other thing about adding the swagger is that it actually controls the RNG of the barrel landings, fire enemies (and where they spawn), pie locations, and ladder movement.

DrD2k9: Claiming for judging.
DrD2k9: In the past, this game (DK:OE) has been considered simply another version of regular NES Donkey Kong--released in 1983 and 1986 in Japan and the US respectively. Because of that, we have only allowed one any% run and one All Items run between the two 'versions.
It seems however, at present, that more of us (myself included) are in favor of considering DK:OE as a completely separate game to stand on its own; in part, given the nearly 30 year span in between release dates--DK:OE being first released in 2010--and the extra content available in DK:OE.
As such, I am accepting this run as the any% branch of this game.
This also means that an All Items branch of regular NES Donkey Kong is now an option as the current All Items branch of DK:OE would no longer be the comparison it would have been in the past.
