Plummet Challenge Game is an NES homebrew released in 2021 by FistaGames. You play as a professional plummeting athlete who has to die to reach the next level. You're encouraged to aim for maximum score, but this run instead dies as quickly as possible.

This is a 3.44 second improvement over the current publication.

Most of the improvement is on Level 66, where nearly 2 seconds were saved by clipping through a wall to get to a flame faster.

We also used a new acceleration trick to reach a previously unreachable flame on Level 72.

The rest of the improvement is from lag reduction and tweaked input timings to save about half a second.

That's all from me. Thanks for reading.

ThunderAxe31: Claiming for judging.

ThunderAxe31: File replaced with a 25 frames improvement, and accepting as improvement of the current publication.

ThunderAxe31: File replaced with a 44 frames improvement, judgement stands.

ThunderAxe31: Setting to Delayed, considering a possible superseed in favor of a Marathon Mode submission.

ThunderAxe31: I can't judge this, as the emulator version (required for mapper #30 compatibility) crashes when I try to open TAS Editor, which I need in order to compare this submission with the other one. Resetting to New.

ThunderAxe31: I was able to circumvent the issue by switching to qfceux. Claiming again...

ThunderAxe31: I can't accept this because the Marathon Mode submission includes the gameplay contents of this whole movie. However, it can still fit into Playground.
