2-frame improvement to nymx's INTV Venture "all treasures" in 05:42.92

Contains a movie file with (hopefully this time) the correct time for the submission linked below. Time should be 1:22.038 (4916 frames). https://tasvideos.org/9080S

Update to https://tasvideos.org/9031S which ends input 3 frames earlier.

This route is at least 4.03 seconds (242 frames) faster than the one used in the currently published run. I do not plan on improving that TAS; this is merely a demonstration proving that taking the bonus round path is indeed faster than the standard route. This is also not super optimized for finer movements or reducing lag, so the time save could be even greater.

HP was set to 2 from the cheats menu for ease of setup. You must have 1 HP by the bonus round to lose it as fast as possible. In a full-game TAS setting, I would expect the player to have 1 HP leaving Day 7: Rock N Roller, so gaining an HP from a health drop between then and this level should be no problem.

HP was set to 1 from the cheats menu for ease of setup, which you must have by the bonus round to lose it as fast as possible. In a full-game TAS setting, this level is normally entered with 2 HP, but I imagine an additional one could be lost on Day 2: Metalhead for negligible time loss.

For a given input sequence, the script can check what cave layout occurs for every possible delay you could wait between each input of a specified input sequence.

Iterates through various input combinations to minimize crystal loss when touching an enemy, while also maximizing horizontal distance gain. Used heavily for this submission.

Helps determine what title screen start frames yield the best RNG for a TAS.
