This is an improvement over Guybrush and I's previous movie by 312 frames.
The biggest improvement comes from skipping a cutscene in level 1 by jumping. It is the same bug that allows me to skip the auto-scrolling parts of boss rooms.
I also made a glaring error and failed to use a known trick in levels 1-3. The trick is to jump while swinging the cane. By landing on the right frame, it cancels out the end part of the swing. I used this on the level 4 boss last time but didn't think to use it elsewhere.
I also saved 5 frames by zipping on a hidden treasure box. Not a big time saver, but one of my favorite. Zipping is always most awesome.
The End.
NesVideoAgent: Hi! I am a robot. I took a few screenshots of this movie and placed them here. Here goes! Feel free to clean up the list.
Truncated: Accepted as an improvement to published movie.

It is disappointing that you took the same level order as before. The hope of a full run being accepted is now wiped out because it would be too similar to this run. Still Yes vote for this.
<klmz> it reminds me of that people used to keep quoting adelikat's IRC statements in the old good days <adelikat> no doubt <adelikat> klmz, they still do

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.
