Whenever I see a rerecord to time ratio that small, I think one of two things. One, the run has a ton of room for improvement, and is incredibly sloppy. Or two, the game is so linear that the author just needed to hold one direction the whole time and push an attack or jump every once in a while. This run has a little of 1 and a lot of 2. There are definiite improvements to be made, but overall the first level bored me quite a bit because it was so damn linear! There wasn't anything to do but run to the end! Sure you got some stars for an extra life (that doesn't mean anything in a TAS though, unless you're planning on heavy death abuse, which I kinda doubt). Overall I think this game lacks diversity. As for improvements, the first thing I noticed was the wobbiling from side to side. With a tool like the TAS plug-in, you should never have any motion be one you don't want. Go in a straight line whenever possible (which in the first level is all the time). Second, for the small amount of speed burst you get from the power punch thingy, I don't know if the long animation is worth it. This is especially true in the 2nd level at the very end, when not only do you have to wait for the animation to go, you have to wait for the power to stop before you can enter the teleporter. Would have been a lot faster I think to just skip it and run to the teleporter. I'm sure there's a few other things I could pick out if I were to watch it a second time, but that's enough to keep you busy with for now. Although some people might disagree, I think this isn't the best game choice because it is so linear and from what I've seen, doesn't have much to surprise an audience (ie a skilled player could probably play this as well as you did in real time). The later levels might be better though, I dunno. Anyway, good luck with it.
