Plot
The whole plot was only a dream all along so it does not matter.
Game
There are two kinds of enemies, static and random. Random enemies can be despawned.
The main challenge in the TAS is to despawn enemies without losing time.
Jumping is faster than walking, but sometimes we need to walk to avoid a hazard or to despawn enemies.
If you see few or no enemies on some screens it means they were despawned by random player movements.
In the last level candles are hazards so movement looks weird because we try to avoid jumping into candles.
You can probably save some frames or find useful glitches if you try hard.

nymx: Claiming for judging.
nymx: After comparing this to the WR, I can see why the game play here is superior to the WR. Even though I believe the WR could probably be a bit better, this TAS removes all the risky parts that are clearly avoid in the human effort. With about 1 minute and 8 seconds of advantage, I don't see any reason why this shouldn't be accepted. Good job!
Accepting to "Standard".
