 The END



DarkKobold: I'd like to take a closer look at this run. Claiming for judging.

DarkKobold: Updated submission with a new file per author's request.

DarkKobold: Unfortunately, the first movie submitted was severely sub-optimal, which caused many of the initial no votes/negative reaction. This makes it difficult to judge the new movie; I should have suggested a resubmission as opposed to an update. However, its been shown that taking damage is much faster, and I would encourage any author of this game to use that trade-off. Therefore, I am rejecting this movie as sub-optimal. However, I would like to let the author know that I thought this was a very good first attempt at a TAS. 

All of that said, there has not been an outpouring of support for an optimal movie of this game being acceptable. Any future author should make note this before putting effort into this game.

2nd, both movies take the invincibility power up in the first level instead of taking damage. Given the length of animation, the damage may be faster.
This power up is tricky to avoid. You can't jump over it (it's too high up), and you can't jump under it (your lowest jump will still make you touch it). You can't jump on the A block above it either. The only way to avoid it (as far as I know) is to run down into the pit to it's right, and then jump up from it. When avoiding damage, this wastes more time than the animation from the drink. On the other hand, when I tried this, I avoided touching the spikes in the pit, so it might be a bit faster to avoid the drink if you take damage from the spikes.

It was far faster to Grab the potion, since there were no other good ways to avoid it.

I took damage because I did not want to have to slow down in my run. I try to take it only when nessescary though, meaning I tried to find every single way to avoid damage as much as possible.
