Solid run, really nice write up. The write up really made me appreciate what was being optimized! I particularly liked the discussion of the camera optimization. Yes vote.

I find it interesting and nice that the 'old 0 star team' wants this run to be published. I personally feel that all of the videos on this site are peer reviewed better than most scientific articles, though the rightful claim to authorship is a bit frustrated. However, the authors of this video do concede that the input (for the movements) is 'unchanged' from the previous video. So, credit is indeed given to the previous authors for their contributions. It's likely incredibly difficult to do, but it would be great if previous authors could be recognized in a more consistent & rigorous fashion for their contributions to the newest submissions. If that could happen, then I believe that a lot of people's qualms about accepting this video, or any qualms about random people picking up any other video to do minor cleanup on, would be eased. Authorship aside, I agree with a lot of other people that this video is incredibly difficult to watch. Given that the 3 frame improvement is qualitatively non-noticeable, comparing this new video to the old clearly shows that the old video is much easier to follow, understand, and enjoy. Because it was the mission of TAS videos to create something impressively superhuman, time-optimized, AND ENTERTAINING to watch, I believe that this video could easily have its entertainment value improved without compromise in any other area. If this were a scientific article, it would be sent back for edits before re-submission. Edit the video to fix the camera angles, such that they are as good as the ones of the previous submission or better, and then re-submit it. To follow this ideal, I vote no on this video, and will vote yes when it is fixed. Good job finding the improvements =).

I had this game for a long time, and I could never figure out how to beat it. Not until I watched this video did I realize how far away I was from even coming close to beating it. I vote yes. Edit: Rather, if I could figure out how to vote, I would vote yes =P.

I'm not really a forum person, but I really think that this game was meant for a speedrun, so I'll throw in a post. In a handful of the submissions I've seen on this site, warp codes were allowed to get to the last level, particularly because everything before it didn't add anything worth seeing, and wasn't entertaining. I got the impression that using such a warp code was granted special permission by the admin before any work was done. In the same spirit of making an interesting and entertaining time attack, why not simply allow the use of a save file which warps you ahead to the point where you try to get platinum times? It would be a different kind of time attack, in which you try for the fastest times on each particular level, much like the time attacks for punch out and super punch out. Of course, the idea is still meaningless without the proper emulator for the job.
