Hmm... I found I could save some time on Ballade by switching to Pharaoh Shot in the middle of the battle. I also started on ChargeMan, but maybe I should go see where else I need Pharaoh Shot to see if I can refill it conveniently.

Haha, I should have suggested that before, as that's what I'm doing in the Game Boy game. Could the "shoot while charging" trick help in this game, though? I noticed that in the NES version, the trick causes your charged Pharaoh Shot to be unlaunchable, so you can only fight with the ball stuck to your head. And isn't it true that the ball on your head only does as much damage as an uncharged shot? If so, then the trick is probably useless here.
That's some nice use of the Flash Stopper in ToadMan. It lasts a lot longer than on the Game Boy, doesn't it? I was surprised that there wasn't more lag, but I noticed that the smaller birdies didn't appear. My guess is that it's the big birdie that produces or activates the small birdies somehow, since I also managed to keep a small birdie from appearing once by killing the big one fast.

I like that idea, even though it would make for very long videos most of the time. I think some examples would be that SMB1 movie and the SMB3 work-in-progress as well as Saturn's RPG movies.

Hey yeah! The video should be as fast as we THINK it can be! If someone has a faster version, then we should put it up, because it's not fair to the viewers to show them a video with obvious room for improvement! Right????
