00:13.10 improvement over [4975] SNES Stone Protectors "2 players" by Technickle in 16:29.90
there is a potential improvement of 00:00.08 on level 2 boss & level 5 Sword Guards 00:00.50 (forest of Mythrandir) however for level 5, the boss RNG is extremely unfavorable using this, so if it's possible I can't figure it out
total improvement possible levels 2 and 5 = 00:00.58
If Zok approached faster guesstimate 00:01.43 can be saved for level 10
