Level by Level
5-1
Main improvement in this level - Micky skipped "puzzle" with growing flower and water, instead use butterfly to climb up on mushroom (554 frames saved).
Well, since i redoing this level, as addition to main improvement i did also a few minor:
Avoided peas by changing Mickey's hitbox during push apple animation in right moment (8 frames saved).
Also get a star, a simple item which give Mickey 1 extra HP. Mickey will use it at getting damage at butterfly later.
More precise endpoint position of apple (11 frames saved).
Jumps while pushing are used to manipulate butterflies.
At crossing water, Mickey throw marbles to freeze dragonfly and use it as a more effective bridge between the leaves-boats (36 frames saved).
5-3
Main improvement in this level - Micky skipped the first beanstalk, use butterfly as shortcut (140 frames saved).
Minor improvement - new method of climbing up to table with using beetle and butterfly (9 frames saved).
Possible improvements
More precise optimisation for other levels. May be one day i will redo full movie, but for now enjoy the current one.
