Chicken of the Farm is a homebrew NES game created by link_7777 and Mitch3a for the 2018 NESDev competition. In this platformer, the player (a frog) collects keys to progress through a series of levels before fighting a final boss.
The TAS takes advantage of the fact that the frog can jump a little higher with precise timing of jumps.
I saw this game in the recent Big20 speedrunning event. It looked like it would be a fun, quick TAS project -- so here it is.
Big thanks to juef and Alyosha for finding some extra time saves!

nymx: Even though this is a homebrew, it certainly brings back those great memories I had when the NES was first released. This was a fun movie to judge...very classic in its style. As for the run, I was more focused on routing and couldn't improve anything. Great job!
