Comments

There isn't all that much to say about the run. It takes the same route as the published run but is a bit more optimized. Also, several emulation errors are corrected which helps save a few frames too.
I'm glad I was able to improve this one since the blue bars in the published run really needed to go.

Samsara: Judging.
Samsara: Audience entertainment level seems to have dropped off since the previous run, so I'm accepting this to Vault as an improvement to the published run.
Samsara: Setting to delayed, pending improvements. File is now replaced with a 28 frame improvement. Re-judging.
Samsara: Re-accepting to Vault. Despite getting more Yes votes, it's still not getting enough attention.
fsvgm777: Processing.

Pretty nice! Short enough to stay entertaining throughout. And I still like that music. Yes vote!
