The run is 13124 frames (218.7 seconds) faster than the published movie, 2280 frames faster than my cancelled run. Emulator used lsnes-rr2-beta23.
Improvement:
Compare to current published movie, I changed some route and used a few new strategies.
PokaPoka island, I picked up half a heart that spent me a few time, but it saved more later. Then I took damage as shortcut that skiped quite a lot part in the stages.
BoaBoa island, I took another shortcut and the previous same way to get ice sword in PokaPoka island.
PukaPuka Island, I explored the warp room in first round and warp here in second round, which is much faster than coming here from SalaSala island.
At most end of each stages, I saved the game and restarted to avoid the long conversation. Except HiyaHiya island, because it's slower than keeping the conversation there. And unfortunately, it can't open menu at the end of last stage.
I used feather magic after got every spells, instead of let the hero die.
Additionally, I optimized details in the over run.
feos: Accepting as an improvement over [2395] SNES Super Adventure Island II by TASeditor in 44:55.59. The game is of very high quality, but it makes you fall asleep the entire time as you watch the movie, so it's still Vault.
Fog: Processing.

Why does the movie start from SRAM?
my personal page - my YouTube channel - my GitHub - my Discord: thunderaxe31 <Masterjun> if you look at the "NES" in a weird angle, it actually clearly says "GBA"

There's a SRAM file in the lsmv, but it's completely empty. It's a false positive.
http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

Could anyone please make an encode of this? It doesn't have to be YouTube or even on a streaming site at all. Thanks in advance!
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.

Great work once again! That new shortcut and getting heart piece for more damage was suprisingly.
My homepage --Currently not much motived for TASing as before...-- But I'm still working.

The choice of Vault tier for this movie seems a bit harsh. Although the game has a lot of downtime between stages (sailing the raft, some cutscenes which are now mostly skipped), the actual stage action is pretty good, and the boss fights are entertaining. The stages are more complicated than just running right all the time, though I admit they may be confusing enough to make it less entertaining for the average viewer. Ultimately, it's not my decision, but I figured I should give my own defense of this underrated game.

Let's focus on discussing how much this movie is more entertaining than the one it obsoletes, in the same areas. The latter had 4 years to gain people's attention, and here's what it got: http://tasvideos.org/rating.exe/2395/details Count how many "Yes vote" posts are there in this thread (and how many of them contain reasons). Count how many votes are actually there. I disagree with the statement that this run is surprisingly more entertaining than its predecessor.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.
