Nach: I know this decision will be unpopular due to the large amount of yes votes, but this game is seriously lacking in the entertainment department. It's about as exciting as watching paint dry. Rejecting.

<dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects.
<Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits
<adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.
This is the most entertaining category in this magnificient game we've all been looking forward to for years.
The run is an explosion of color and action. Its stimulation is both cerebral and primal with its superhuman accuracy and supreme planning.

Weren't the original runs on this game done 2 years ago or so? Man, it's taken a lot of time for a 100% run. That alone must be a testament to the laborious optimization and dedication necessary for such a run. ;-)
EDIT: You got some of the dinosaurs to completely invert! I'm not sure how that was done, but those were the highlights of the run. It's pretty hard to color dinosaurs when your most appealing patterns are polka dots.
Also, why do you run over some regions twice? That happens a lot in the early dinosaurs, where a region would first get colored red then get stripes, or something like that.
Used to be a frequent submissions commenter. My new computer has had some issues running emulators, so I've been here more sporadically.
Still haven't gotten around to actually TASing yet... I was going to improve Kid Dracula for GB. It seems I was beaten to it, though, with a recent awesome run by Hetfield90 and StarvinStruthers. (http://tasvideos.org/2928M.html.)
Thanks to goofydylan8 for running Gargoyle's Quest 2 because I mentioned the game! (http://tasvideos.org/2001M.html)
Thanks to feos and MESHUGGAH for taking up runs of Duck Tales 2 because of my old signature!
Thanks also to Samsara for finishing a Treasure Master run. From the submission comments:
Shoutouts and thanks to mklip2001 for arguably being the nicest and most supportive person on the forums.
As the current console record holder, I approve of this run. I admit that jealousy had initially prevented me from accepting the legitimacy of the run, but I have since then come to terms with the fact that I am simply not good enough at coloring. Congrats, adelikat. The better man has won.
Voting yes.
For those looking for an encode, MUGG uploaded it here. The masterpiece is located at 38:12 of the video.
I'm voting yes because every game in the world for the NES must have a published run. ;)

Aww, don't feel too bad. You have to realize, I've been running this game since 2007. Once you've invested 5 good years, you might be at my level, just keep practicing!
Also, who's going to do the console verification?

Paint dry on a dinosaur.
