Any ingame actions which allow to save time - it is always a good idea.
Here tiny script to display basic info (XY position/speed and Boss HP):
Download BramStokersDracula.lua
P.S. Small tip: Try to avoid killing low creatures in places where simple possible to overjump them. {Attack in a sitting position is slow down.}
For example you spent unnecessary time wasting by killing of rat in 1-1 (frame 1836) or spider in 1-2 (frame 2740).

This thread about Bram Stoker's Dracula, it's not the place to discuss other games. Try to ask in correct thread and probably someone will help you.
I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

nice ,I'll fix that part
thank's for the script
you can make a script for the game '' the second samurai ''?
I should suffer damage in rat 1-1 (frame 1836) and jumping spider 2-2 (frame 2740)? if I do this and die in chief I will lose 36 frames

Since this year was quite rich for Dracula and Frankenstein submissions, I decided to finally beat the Sega CD port.
This is a TAS fragment which passes the main route of Level 2 for demonstration.
In the second room, if you don't kill the final spider coming down to from the ceiling, you will not transit to the secret door to your left and, instead, will go forward like usual. This will take you to the Cursed Library, and then to the room with candles and the dragon mini-boss.
Even though this route is faster than the alternative route by 324 frames (by in-game time), it shows a scene from the movie which lasts for at least 1537 frames. It makes this route quite slow, so I leave it here to ease the future judgement.

TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.
