About the Game

This game has records in this case are called, sega records (as it says NFQ). Each level has a record time, are very easy to beat (exept the 4-2 level his record is: 17:82. And mine: 17:79, as NFQ.). A bit strange because I had not seen a very fast record, and them others them would cost

About the Movie

This game version used in USA / Europe. I recommend using this version because the Japanese version, costs few frames when the game starts. This film is not used glitch, and this movie manipulates luck with their speed and use fast sites. In this movie not used damage to save time. I sometimes use, or no additional tricks, but in this case, not stop at any point in the game

I'm amused to see this submission so soon after the last publication. It looks good though. I can actually see the improvement in 6-1, where the wallgrabs in the first section are made earlier to land on the bouncy platforms sooner. Yes vote.
Used to be a frequent submissions commenter. My new computer has had some issues running emulators, so I've been here more sporadically. Still haven't gotten around to actually TASing yet... I was going to improve Kid Dracula for GB. It seems I was beaten to it, though, with a recent awesome run by Hetfield90 and StarvinStruthers. (http://tasvideos.org/2928M.html.) Thanks to goofydylan8 for running Gargoyle's Quest 2 because I mentioned the game! (http://tasvideos.org/2001M.html) Thanks to feos and MESHUGGAH for taking up runs of Duck Tales 2 because of my old signature! Thanks also to Samsara for finishing a Treasure Master run. From the submission comments:
Shoutouts and thanks to mklip2001 for arguably being the nicest and most supportive person on the forums.

Awesome improvement, man. I didn't really understand where you manipulated luck though, and I don't think "plays at the hardest difficulty" makes any difference in the bonus stages..

The "plays at the hardest difficulty" affects how much time you get to complete each bonus stage. In your movie (nfq), every stage is set to 60 seconds. In this movie, that time has been reduced in every case. For example, 1-1 gives the player EIGHT (8) seconds. While it doesn't actually affect speed, it makes each stage slightly more exciting when the timer isn't so generous.

Velitha, there is a reason I didn't publish GGG's encode, there is 8 pixel borders on the top and bottom... this movie needs to be re-encoded to be retained within the proper guidelines.
