Here's my final Dark Castle submission.
This movie is 1 minute 43 seconds (6192 frames) faster than Dan's movie. I managed to skip most of the game, which is good because Dark Castle sucks. Somehow I'm able to avoid the unavoidable flying creature. I also go through a wall and jump through stairs. I take damage to save time, but you don't notice it because the game is so bad. I aim for the fastest time, but you probably don't notice that either. This is a pacifist movie, because no rats were harmed.
Compared to my previous submission, this movie is 3 seconds (183 frames) faster. Every room was improved because I understood that jumping is not the fastest way to move. Believe it or not, the fastest way to move is to stop: walk-stop-walk-stop-walk-stop-walk-stop-walk...

Truncated: Improves on an existing version, so I'm accepting it. No need to wait.
Percentagewise, is this the biggest improvement we've ever had between two versions? 62,8% of the time of the previous movie has been improved away.
Phil: I am going to encode it.
