Dragon's Lair is much better known in its incarnations for other platforms as an FMV game with only slight amounts of control over the player's action. The NES version is more of a traditional platformer, but very smooth animation for the era and funny-looking characters inspired by the cartoon graphics of the other versions - this includes the final boss, who isn't seen very much in this run thanks to abuse of the game mechanics.
This is an improvement of around two seconds to the previous run.

ktwo improves the previous TAS done on the USA release of the game by 0.17 seconds, thanks to better optimisation. Note that there are differences in execution for some of the levels when compared to the Japanese release. You can watch the TAS of the Japanese release of the game here.
