Thanks to Alyosha for verifying and syncing this run, so I have improved level 6 by 15 or 16 frames and ended the work right after that as I am on a break from TASing can't really consider working on it again any sooner but my next TAS would be a bk2 movie for sure, I don't know which grenade guy I am getting in level 7 after these 16 frames as my goal was to ensure that improving 15 frames on level 6 was possible, I have noticed that BizHawk gives you extra lag in some lag intensive areas.
You can manipulate grenade guy's location. https://tasvideos.org/Forum/Topics/1481
CLChambers00 from Youtube: "Man with grenade's location changes every frame. It cycles through the locations. So if you finish stage one on a certain frame then the bomb guy will show up in a certain location, and if you finish one frame later then he will show up in the next location in the cycle. The first location is based upon the frame you enter the map screen which is not possible to buffer through text, and yes the second level spawn is based on the frame you end level one. "

By the way, using different difficulty modes shouldn't be an issue, since TASing for this game pushes the gameplay to the point that harder difficulties don't actually result in a more challenging TASing process, but affects gameplay just because of different enemy spawn positions, and thus a TASer may pick whatever difficulty mode results in a more favorable outcome for fastest completion. Note that this submission used easy mode, the published one used hard mode, and the old unsubmitted movie used hard mode 2nd quest (still no idea what's different from hard, apart from the lack of intro cutscene).
Actually in hard mode some enemies ( green, black, red soldiers) move faster and can catch up protagonist. You can watch and compare it in level 3, when green soldiers jump out from behind the trees.

Thanks boss! I may try to improve it later because currently I'm busy in making TAS of a 3D game which will probably take months to optimize.
Btw its nice to see that people like you are still interested in this game because I noticed that your oldest submission on this game is 10years old.
Yeap, this game was my first try to TAS in 2012) Then i did it again in 2019, which was published) This game is one of my favourite ones.
