[TAS] NES Circus Charlie by klmz in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/5270M
TAS originally published on 2023-05-14
Circus Charlie is a platforming game that started off as an arcade game before being later ported to home consoles such the NES. However, it is probably more well known for being in numerous pirate multigame carts. You play a clown named Charlie, whose job is to entertain the audience with traditional acrobatic circus tricks.
klmz ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/klmz ) saves 2.16 seconds over the previous run by playing on Mode B, the hardest difficulty, instead of Mode A and achieving better overall optimization.

Just look at the background and you will see it is a giant stadium, full of people watching a show featuring a clown, only a clown.

[@MattiaBulgarelli]

If those signs are 10 meters apart... How tall is Charlie?
