Thanks for the compliments.
mmbossman, I guess the reason I didn't submit it is simply because I don't think it's good enough. It should be possible to get below 37 minutes. I used a stupid joypad, but with a keyboard and the TAS plugin you could have more precise movements but it's hard to play with keyboard so I never remade the run.
Except for that, I found a few other small improvements to my run:
Two new places to use walljumps on level 3:
Walljump 5
Walljump 6: From the palm tree you can jump to the top of that stone thing and fall through it instead of pushing the button and waiting for it to go down.
I think it would be better to do level 5 before 4 so you can do a death warp on level 4 (saves a few seconds). If you do the death warp, you have to collect enough life forces on your way through the game (so that you can use the death warps on level 6).
- Level 4: After doing the run I found that you can skip the purlin before the first key. Just jump from the right side of the gate and you'll go through it.
After you've taken the first key you do the deathwarp. And at the end of the level, it would faster to kill the high priests with grenades instead of the knife.
Also, when you take the last key, you can jump on the descending pillars and from that you can jump to the key, instead of going around.
On level 7 this way might be a couple of seconds faster than the one I took:
maybe

If you have any questions about the run or anything just ask. When you've made some progress I'll be glad to offer help and advice.
