This is an improvement of 6291 frames over the previous submission. All improvements were the result of dashing more, and optimizing jumps.
Nach: One of the central ideas of a TAS is that the run should look superhuman. I know this run is superhuman, because it's a huge improvement based on the last run, but still, it doesn't look it. This is not a popular game that people are demanding, nor does the game look to be particularly well made. Sure, RachelB, you did a great job with this drivel, but hardly anyone who sees this run on its own will really notice it. I don't think anyone is going to miss this run not being on the site. Sorry, but I'm rejecting this.

Unrejecting this submission for consideration into the Vault tier
The audio programmers here must have mixed up modulus and division. Seriously, the music changes every level and the mood changes wildly with no regards to the level theme.
But is the run good? Definitely, it is a very clear improvement where even I can notice the improvements.
Big improvement in just 3 days? <__<
The game's music is terrible, but that doesn't matter becuase I can clearly see all the improvements. Nice one, rog.
You take a hit at 1:17 that really slows you down. Is it absolutely necessary??
Unless you want me to wait 5 seconds for it to move away, yes. Taking damage from the monkey before that instead of waiting would not have gotten me there fast enough to get through either.
Thanks for the encode, ThatGugaWhoPlay!
No offense to Spikestuff, but this looks a lot better. Some jumps are really good, and Kuzco moves faster throughout. The music definitely wasn't picked well for each level, but that's not your fault. Yes vote!
I don't know why they put an angry Yzma picture in the end screen. Especially when you expect your reward for finishing the game to be something...less scary.
After the first few minutes I just found myself skipping through the video. I understand this was done as an improvement to a previous submission, but this game is just boring to watch, I think.
I think this definitely falls into the category of "poor game choice." This is eight and a half minutes of mediocre platforming. I respect the time rog put into improving this but it is my opinion that there's no reason to publish this (besides being a fan of the cartoon, I suppose). So, my vote is no.
(I notice I am the first to vote no thus far. I am concerned that people are voting yes because it was an improvement without realizing this game has not yet been published. If I am the only one who found this boring, then disregard this note.)

I see now, I thought you could jump over the snake, but that black thing is actually in the foreground, and you have to duck under it.
Yes vote!

Eh, it's certainly not the most entertaining run ever done, but far worse has been published before. To be honest though, i was definitely expecting more no votes for this reason. I suspect there hasn't been any others simply because it is such a large improvement over spikestuff's run. Nevertheless, i definitely do think it falls well above the bad game choice line.
But hey, i'm clearly biased, so feel free to ignore this.
Hey, if everybody else likes it, then I guess it's just me. I hate to undermine a well-done TAS... just hard for me to believe I'm the only one who didn't enjoy it.
Sorry have to vote no. This is boring.
It's basically run right for justice, with a little bit of jumping in between.
The run is probably highly optimised, but the game choice is bad, imo.

This was the first run of this game that I actually watched all the way through, so this earns a Yes. It LOOKED like some minor gains could be made here or there, but I've never touched the game, so it could just be programming making things look sloppier than they are. Definitely a well thought-out run.
Also, I like how Yzma's sprite just before the ridiculous YOU WIN screen looks like she's flipping Kuzko off. MAN, SHE'S PISSED, WOWEE.

Hmm, not too bad. The gameplay does get somewhat stale, though. Maybe I am just underwhelmed by the graphics here... it looked more like an Atari game on the GBC to me.
The run seems well-played enough, but I'm not crazy about the game. I'm going Meh. Nice job producing the run so quickly, though.
Used to be a frequent submissions commenter. My new computer has had some issues running emulators, so I've been here more sporadically.
Still haven't gotten around to actually TASing yet... I was going to improve Kid Dracula for GB. It seems I was beaten to it, though, with a recent awesome run by Hetfield90 and StarvinStruthers. (http://tasvideos.org/2928M.html.)
Thanks to goofydylan8 for running Gargoyle's Quest 2 because I mentioned the game! (http://tasvideos.org/2001M.html)
Thanks to feos and MESHUGGAH for taking up runs of Duck Tales 2 because of my old signature!
Thanks also to Samsara for finishing a Treasure Master run. From the submission comments:
Shoutouts and thanks to mklip2001 for arguably being the nicest and most supportive person on the forums.
