Saved time in "When Dinosaurs Ruled", "Forgotten Cities", and "The Forgotten Empire". Lost time in other levels due to lag.

I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner, but turns out, you can just skip the elevator in The Hidden Pyramids by switching to the Scarab Ingot early. I'm a little upset that the final time isn't 18:18 for 18 levels anymore tho lol :P

8 frame improvement done by equipping the Moon Ingot after hitting the switch in The Hidden Pyramids. Results in Larry getting stuck in the air, allowing him to drop to the lower level without having to jump down.

Saves 10 frames in The Hidden Pyramids, but loses 2 frames due to lag.

(warning: fireworks between 10:53 & 11:26, multiple instances of shaky camera between 13:25 & 14:06)

So close to finishing this! Just three levels left! And they're probably going to be some of the hardest ones to do.

Full list of improvements:

Lift-off: -27f
One Giant Leap: -96f
Aces of the Clouds: -98f
Discover the Moon: -97f (+1f)
Dig Into Fossils: -112f
When Dinosaurs Ruled: -139f
Extinction Theory: -613f
Forgotten Cities: -1005f
The Forgotten Empire: -1010f
The Great Wall: -1066f
The Great Climb: -1065f (+1f)
Fireworks: -1234f
Celebrating Modernism: -1285f
The Great Surrealists: -1310f
Pop Art Showdown: -1462f

Notable timesaves:

Pressing B to recover from ledge grabs faster.
Doing the ending of When Dinosaurs Ruled in one jump instead of two.
Destroying the last CurseWall without detouring to the next Golden Shrine in Extinction Theory.
Cutscene skip in Forgotten Cities.
Using the Scarab Ingot's coyote time to jump under Al Capone in Fireworks.
Finding a set-up to get to the Moon Ingot spot faster in Celebrating Modernism.
Doing one less jump in the straightaway in The Great Surrealists to keep more speed.
Clipping through the ceiling in the Ivan the Terrible fight in Pop Art Showdown.

(The previous TAS doesn't include the last three levels here. I'll probably make a comparison video soon.)

Was analyzing my WIP last night and tried to think of places where I could save time. You can't do a lot in the first level because of platform cycles, and what I tried in the second level didn't save time.

I found out that using the Cloud Ingot instead of grabbing that one ledge (the one with the archer) in level 4 saved about a quarter second and set out to redo the boss.

Now I'm still unsure on how RNG works in this game, but one of the biggest timesaves I found was hitting the rightmost lever last. That's because there's less distance for the camera to pan during the cutscenes. I also thankfully manipulated Kahmunrah to be on the leftmost plane for the final hit this time.

Quite challenging fight to TAS due to the planes, fire, and RNG, but I'm super glad with the end result and don't regret going back one bit!

New project that's been really fun to work on! Although the RNG at the first boss basically DESTROYED me. But I think I held my own!
