I'll post a detailed write-up later, if anyone cares enough for one. For now I'll just send you to the resources page where I was posting some of the findings.

One thing I will say is that the difficulty is selected by entering an "age" at the start, and 10-20 is the hardest difficulty, which starts you off with no umbrellas (projectiles) so routing the pick-ups is a bit more necessary. Also, on the hardest difficulty ducking is removed entirely, but I don't think it would have much use in the run anyway.
Enjoy an obscure NES game that no one has probably ever played.
eien86: Claiming for judging.
eien86: A cute little obscure platformer. The author beats the game flawlessly without any visible suboptimalities. The solution is much faster than the current RTA WR. Accepting to Standard

Back in 2020, I once tried this game.‌ I checked my previous documents and found that I only recorded about over 6000 frames. I'm very happy to see the full TAS here—I skimmed through it, and both lag control and jump heights appear to be well optimized.‌ Well done! Yes vote.

Age verification? In my Famicom game? It's more likely than you think. Jokes aside, I hadn't heard of this game before. I watched the whole thing and didn't notice any glaring slowdowns. There seems to have been a hefty amount of research put into this, and it's very apparent in the movie. Yes vote.
Don't mind me, I was born on Friday the 13th. (I'm not TASing that NES game, okay?)
