This speed run is 5650 Frames faster than Krieger's

Improved methods

1.Operation:

Krieger's movie： His operation is press jump 8F, empty 3F, and fall down is jump 1F empty 1F
My movie: Press jump 2F, empty 2F, and fall down is jump 2F, empty 3F

2.The line select:

Krieger's movie: Stage 1-1 to Stage 1-4 to Stage 2-4 to Stage 4-4 to Stage 5
My movie: Stage 1-1 to Stage 1-2 to Stage 5, and in whole Stage 5, I changed tiny strategy. So it can saved so much.

3.Finnal Boss:

Krieger's movie: He fighted with the Boss
My movie: Directly skip. From the beginning, fly up all the time until under the Boss，then, fly close to left wall, thus, it can skip.
Above-mentioned, is my all improved methods.We hope you can enjoy it.Thanks!
Truncated: Very nice improvement. No need to wait, setting to accepted.

Very nice improvements! The route is definitely more interesting, since there's no water to swim through. The only thing I would suggest is that in 5-1, when you fall down the long shaft and you wobble left and right a lot, wobbling usually looks bad. Instead, I would suggest maybe turning with the rhythm of the music. Oh, and you probably mean "level selection" instead of "line select" in your submission comments. Once again, good job!
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.

Yay, short movie and small encode: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zmg2mnx14dd This is my favorite kind of TAS: quick and incomprehensible.

Thanks for the encode, Alden! Man, what the hell is up with that kiwi's head when he opens the cage? Is that his nose? Eyes? I don't mind the wobbling there since it doesn't move the camera and it does make an interesting little optical illusion/persistence-of-vision trick. As for the rest of the run, looks like a good improvement on an existing published movie. Incidentally, one of the links on the current publication is for a download for Kirby's Adventure...

Whatever the hell it was doing there, I removed it. Thanks for reporting, Derakon.

Wow a huge improvement to a short movie that was a huge improvement to the previous movie. The first submission of this game was over 13 minutes. Lol.
