Cool optimizations! I lost a lot of runs to the green bar you have to swing around to get to the second set of hammers, but I like the idea of grabbing onto it to avoid tumbling. Also fully ignoring checkpoints seems to help a bit in a couple of places. Does sitting on the thumb of the third punch leave you lower than the last as well as punching earlier?

Hey hey, I've recently begun speedrunning Monster Tale for the DS, but the only moderator for the game has been inactive for 2 years. I have read through the general rules and the moderation rules, and also have a pending run at this moment for the game. If any more details need to be given, let me know.
