Tricks:

See GameResources/DOS/JazzJackrabbit

Route choices

Route choices were determined using level editor to display the maps (and experimenting when it wasn't obivious what is fastest way).

Level comments

No level

I have no idea what causes that pause in menu (the game seems to freeze for a moment).

Holidaus 1

Nothing too special... Just running, jumping, shooting. Getting TNT pack costs 1/6th of a frame, but I get 2 of those back next turn. Additionally, the TNT pack will save few seconds in level 2.

Holidaus 2

The turning can easily lose frames. In the end, I sequence-break by blowing up TNT, which will trigger the exit (no, it does not seem to be possible to trigger the exit from shaft with springs, even if the distance to exit is approximately the same).

Holidaus 3

This level has so many interruptions that any gained frames tend to be lost soon.

Screenshot suggestions:

Triggered exit scrolling into screen with wall between Jazz and exit (at about 93.5s mark).

Final stats:

Length: 02:23.761 Rerecords: 2232.
mmarks: Added Mister Epic YouTube module
adelikat: Good viewer response, and while the same game engine as the published movie and this submission, the level layout is different in each to warrant publication.

Oh, the sweet memories. Yes vote.
http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

Good work Ilari. Both TASes for 94 and 95 are as good as the TAS for the original game. Both movies get a Yes vote from me.

There is a small mistake in what adelikat said while judging this run. I notified him by private message a couple of days ago since I don't like to draw attention towards mistakes, but he probably didn't read it so I have to report it here.

The "this" submission links to 1951S instead of 2951S.
