Dream TV (SNES) speed run in 14:20

*Note: This run has no yet been verified by SDA. Please ignore that StatID for now.

After my old DTV speed run was accepted at SDA, one of the verifiers mentioned two significant improvements (the block puzzle in level 2, and the dinosaur boss fight). I took it one step further and found better routes for several other rooms in this game, and then decided to redo my run. This run comes out 56 seconds ahead of my old run! That is far beyond what I imagined was possible.

Stolen from my old video description:
There's too much to explain in this game, but I will do my best. This consists of only 4 levels; to beat a level you need to collect all 9 puzzle pieces and then defeat the boss of the level. Each locked door must be opened by a certain color key, not just any key. You control two characters and switch between them by pressing R or L; it is necessary to bring both characters though most of these levels because of the teeter totters (which are a nightmare to use correctly!). Every single hit in this entire run has been carefully planned to save time.

I won't really go over individual level notes. I'll just say that this run is as close to perfect as I think is possible. It can maybe be improved by 5 seconds. The first 3 levels were great, but I hesitated a bit in the fourth level to make sure that I didn't die. Overall, I am thrilled with this run and can finally put it to rest.
