Notes
What you're supposed to do is explore and collect 1 000 points. Clusters of diamonds can be found on the ground, granting 25 points each. Alternatively, you can find a treasure chest that grants 250 points. Once 1 000 is reached, you have to follow the music to find the Flame Spirit. After collecting the Flame Spirit, you are granted access to the temple and the golden crown. After this, you must climb to the top of the stage. If a bat flies into you, you lose the crown and have to repeat this whole process.
If you walk off a platform, you will fall straight down. Falling short distances will make you stop for a bit when you land, and falling long distances will stun you for a short time. You can jump from any height and not be stunned, but you cannot change your direction once you jump. Bloopiero found that by repeatedly holding and releasing left and right at the same time, you can descend in a straight line without being stunned at all.
Bloopiero made the inputs for the floor clip, which allows us to skip collecting points and finding the Flame Spirit. Now it's just a mad dash to the top. You can jump before a ladder to save a few frames, which I do for each ladder on the way up.
nymx: Claiming for judging.
nymx: Since I've already had experiencing TASing this game, I see nothing wrong here. In fact, this is much better than what I have done. Good job on this.
Accepting to "Standard".
