I saved about 30 frames here with a new strategy for grabbing the black key and manipulating the dragons a bit.
You can drop the key right when it goes off screen. This is an easy opportunity to maneuver to grab it again at a better angle beacues the key leaves the screen well before the player does, meaning you have a couple frames of free movement. It is quite a bit faster to do it this way then in the published run, where the author maneuvers all the away around the key before grabbing it.

Fog: Judging.
Fog: Nice improvements.
Accepting as an improvement to the previous publication.

Still waiting on the hardest difficulty honestly. Meh. Good shave though.

SOMEBODY GET THIS FREAKIN' DUCK AWAY FROM ME! Also waiting on the long-overdue Mode 3 TAS, though I'd settle for Mode 2. Plus a separate Magic Dot run. But better is better, and it's just over half a minute, so yes.

30 frame gain gets my approval. Also would like to see games 2 and 3 TAS'd.
