Wow nice improvements! The 2nd and 3rd screens surprised me, I did not think to use player 2 to limit screen scrolling to minimize the time needed to go back to the ladder. This movie syncs on Bizhawk 1.6.1
It's hard to look this good. My TAS projects

Make an encode, please!
TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.

Great job xipo! This was really fun to watch. Stage 4 was probably my favorite, but everything about Stage 7 was great too. I was surprised to see that you seem to use the double-knee glitch a little less. You don't use one in stage 2 after the helicopter. In stage 4, you walk quite a while under the claws before using the double-knee glitch. The one that glitched up stage 6 is awesome though. I'm also surprised to see you didn't use adelikat's trick against the shadow warriors, where you waste a life to get invincibility and punch them both.
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.

In a game name, (U) means (Unimprovable), which means the author is challenging others to try and improve the movie. Source: am gynecologist

USA version. But it shouldn't be in the game name. Removed.

The movie is not as entertaining as adelikat's, but I vote YES anyway!

Youtube, right? No, I have no idea what went wrong there.
