Puss n Boot Pero's Great Adventure is a simple side scrolling game of the Toei Animation mascot, the animation studio behind Dragon Ball and one piece.
The game follows Pero visiting many different places around the world, from a wild west location to an underwater location, to going to Egypt, the UK, and America. There doesn't seem to be much of a story narrative wise.
Jumping is much faster in this game as long as the screen can scroll. For whatever reason the game does not let you go any faster unless the screen scrolls, that's why in some later stages we don't jump right away.
Pero has 3 attacks he can do, from using a gun, to using bombs, to using boomerangs. The bombs are the more powerful weapon and are often used for the bosses.

feos: Claiming for judging.
feos: It's kinda hard to fairly judge a run that you've improved by 20 frames by slightly tweaking jumps, so I'll unclaim this and request co-authorship instead.
ThunderAxe31: Judging.
ThunderAxe31: I've improved this movie by 9 frames, so I'm also adding myself as co-author and leaving it to another judge.
Samsara: My turn! Judging.
Samsara: As a person who is contractually obligated to continue the bit, I've saved another 5 frames. The cycle continues.
Memory: Certainly this can't happen a fourth time. Judging.
Memory: I found a ram address, and still couldn't find any improvements in an hour or two and that's waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much effort for me to want to continue the bit.
Accepting.

despoa: Processing...

When I saw this run is only 40 frames faster than #5060: McBobX & Samsara's NES Puss 'n Boots: Pero's Great Adventure in 06:58.63 that was rejected for suboptimality, I knew something was up. I compared every room and in this run, every room was actually even or quicker, except for one, which was 4 frames slower. I checked why and here's now a 20 frame improvement on the final level, tho it desyncs on the double boss. User movie #637993893687783852 Co-authorship request I guess, tho I may check other levels later.

I improved the London level by 2 frames and the final boss fight by 1 frame. 6 more frames were saved due to faster loading times of the levels after London. 9 frames saved in total. User movie #637999882459618459 Requesting co-authorship with you all
my personal page - my YouTube channel - my GitHub - my Discord: thunderaxe31 <Masterjun> if you look at the "NES" in a weird angle, it actually clearly says "GBA"

I'm loving this, LOL. Keep it up! Maybe there's a funny edge case when every judge has co-authored a TAS and we enter Sudden Death Mode.

It's like they keep falling in the same trap

User movie #638000241742048134 Out of sheer force of will and dedication to a bit, I've saved another 5 frames through some movement optimization in the final stage.

If every judge has contributed to this, I will abuse my powers and accept it when we're done.

Doesn't guarantee they won't improve it further.

Then it will go down the line. Until you hit one that can't do anything.
