The movie is 6389 frames (106.5 seconds) faster than the published movie. Improvement comes from new route, new tricks and lag reduction. Emulator used FCEUX 2.1.4.
New tricks: After get flying cape, if konami man/girl stand on a platform in the top of screen, holding A could trap them into the floor. I used it in first stage.
Off stair: make 2 players the farther distance, one player on a stair, if second player cling to a wall, the previous one could go straight up or down off stair.
Route planning: Fuuma stage: get flying cape, beat boss, get Fuuma's weapon, killed players, restart. Kingkong stage: beat boss, get the key, restart. Micky stage: get konami man's weapon, rescue the child, get the key, restart. Kingkong stage: rescue Kingkong, restart. Goemon stage: play the one-arm bandit to revive death characters, then normal playing. Stage 5,6,7: normal playing. Last stage: I killed a player because 2 players makes the game lag a lot, overall it faster than 2 players playing.
That's all. Enjoy.

Masterjun: Judging.
Masterjun: Nice improvements on an entertaining game with impressive 2 player action. Accepting to Moons as an improvement to the previous run.
feos: Pub.

Wow this is a very unexpected improvement! I never considered death could ever be faster, great idea! I do wish the run could have been done on an up to date emulator version due to how timing dependent RNG is on this game, but oh well. Nice Work!

Indeed. I haven't made tas for a long time, so I only have the old version emulator in my pc. I'll use latest emulator if I do next one.

I'll just let you know that this run syncs on FCEUX 2.2.3 (currently the latest version).
