Wow! I didn't expect there is any possible improvement! Nice run and Yes vote! P.S: previous movie - [194] Genesis Bonanza Bros. "2 players" by SprintGod in 09:03.02
TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.

What was improved, exactly? Your comments in this thread make it seem like all that was improved was menuing, which makes the co-author thing seem a little iffy to me.

To Explain: Menuing, Objectives of The Levels (Total 10), Cutscenes (Total 3), Killing Input Early. I did take time to see if I can improve on any of the actual stages but I was unable to. For the sake of math. ~2% is my input in the file, probably a bit more. And to Note: As stated in the submission if someone can do better than what I did (complete) I'm fine with this being canceled.

I also tried to improve something in a stage, but I couldn't. Nice menuing improvements Spike, yes vote for only that. EDIT: Here's my screenshot BTW...

Well, it's an improvement nonetheless. And SprintGod retains top billing due to having the majority input. So I'll give a yes vote (the run itself is still entertaining). There goes the 2nd longest non-obsoleted run on the site! Anyone up for improving this one?

sightseeing can be improved on for quite some time now. Having a look at the fast route TAS you can see that the first 2 fields. BobWhoops - sightseeing 00 - 671 01 - 784 flagitious 00 - 548 01 - 683 Field 2 both TASers go for different doors, near each other but I cannot look at that due to the distance between the two (gap). Edit: There is a post on it now.

I never particularly found this game that interesting, but it's good to see it improved. It's a shame you didn't improve the actual gameplay, but I think that's still acceptable since you're listing the old author name. To be fair, I didn't even remember that the game had menus... This reminds me of the first time when Randil had improvements on the storybook games like Uninvited and Shadowgate. I think one of the first improvements was just a little tighter menu work but didn't change the overall route. Then again, in those games, cursor movement is actually pretty nontrivial.
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.

No need to be modest about this improvement. Improving any world record ought to be good in itself. Yes-vote.
