Made a run from scratch with constantly comparing to published run. Everything went well until lightning and the boss.
Level 1 - 8 frames improved
- 1 frame saved by starting earlier at “1 player push start”
- 1 frame saved by better jumping to next scene (looks like it saved by different RNG/In-game timer)
- Hidden wallzipping probably saved a frame, since boss spawn is faster too
- 1 frame saved by ending the scene with jump
- 1 frame saved somewhere around falling down vertically after getting inside the wall
- Probably 3 frames saved at boss battle
Note: Combining arrow+claw damage is slower at boss (random bug)
Level 2 (Mad City) - 7 frames improved
- 1 frame faster before picking up powerups, not really sure about that
- Probably 6 frames faster after double powerups by better jumping
Level 3 - 1 frame lost
- 1 frame lost at lightning #29, has something to do with in-game timer. My lightning appears ~12 frames faster.
Boss - More frames are lost
- Boss timer is ~12 frames slower, diminishing my total improvements to 4 frames.
