One bad thing about doing a three player run is the switching. In order to do so, you need to press A+B+C and that can cause some undesired actions, so I had to choose carefully when to switch characters (ex. cannot switch characters while ballooned up or will deflate).
Fortunately is possible to cancel deflation if call the "Give up menu" just before switching vikings.
So don't worry, one of the biggest skip in game (dependent on deflation) will take place, despite of control scheme limitations :)
Well, it's done. Level 36 - WRLR, where 2863 frames (47.72 seconds) was saved:

Level 40 FRGT - Forgotten Level
Level 41 4RN4 - Arena

Tomator in real troubles. The prey and hunter changed their roles. Only now he realized that this time he kidnapped the very wrong Vikings, but it is already too late. Retaliation is inevitable.
In the last world our guys had prepared for Tomator so cruel punishment that blood eagle comparing to it is harmless.

To the end of April or in early May my modest Ragnarök TAS will be finished.

I have to ask, no one has done The Lost Vikings 2, will that ever get done?
As far as i know in The Lost Vikings 2: Norse by Norse West, 3-Player mode available only in one game version - Sega-CD which have outstandingly awful graphic.
Not even to play... it painful just to watch. Other versions with more or less tolerable graphics, have only 2-P mode which is not so interesting.
No, thanks. I will leave three brave vikings after gloriously slaying Tomator in the last level of original game. {Btw final fight "Twilight of the Gods" is one the most beautiful sequence break in game. Try to not blink until end}.

Incredible achievement! I have enjoyed your posts immensely, but I have staved off the temptation to view the individual levels. I want to be blown away in one, insane sitting. Cannot wait for the final product!
I glad to say that my Ragnarok TAS is almost finished.
Only single level is left and our vikings finally will be able back home.
Already soon i will hear how Tomator is screaming in agony :)
Estimated final time: - 27:4X.xx. {approx. ~29000 frames ahead of published TAS (~8 minutes)}.
Estimated submission date: - 26 April 2015. Sunday. Everyone who interested welcome to visit workbench.
Thanks to wisdom and fury of Norse gods, who patiently helped me to crack this wonderful game during all these months, i will show you full power of 3-Players TAS.
