Not much else to say here, just the TAS playing Puzzle Mode, nothing special here.

Darkman425: Claiming for judging.
Darkman425: I jumped the gun too much. I will still drop judgment and am trying to contact the reirrab about co-authorship with the 34 frame improvement I found. I also reverted back to the original submission file.
Darkman425: I got permission from reirrab for co-authorship and input file replacement with the improvements I found. I also have an input that plays the credits stage after the 60 Puzzle Mode stages over here.

feos: Claiming for judging.
feos: Accepting as an independent game mode.

It doesn't seem right that Darkman425 just co-opted reirrab's work without any discussion. It's fine to suggest possible improvements to the run, but if not improving it won't cause a rejection then just let it stand as a possible improvement. Here's a post by DrD2k9 that I think perfectly demonstrates how this should've been handled. Post #520391

I agree with WarHippy, this should be handled differently, unless there was some external discussion, which should have been noted if that was the case.

I jumped the gun on this one. I apologize for my actions that were out of line and have reverted all of the changes to the submission file. I am also currently trying to contact reirrab about the improvements I found and asking about co-authorship.

I contacted reirrab on Discord and got their permission for co-authorship with the improvements I found.
