Ristar is a large, colorful game with good music. It also has water-themed levels that aren't slow and boring, which is a true rarity.

The author of this TAS chose to get maximum height bonuses instead of using the end pole for a small, boring speed boost.

As Bag of Magic Food (https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/Bag%20of%20Magic%20Food) so excellently put it, "Starface has stretchy arms and wastes time spinning on poles."

This is a 1 minute 33 second improvement over the author's previous (https://tasvideos.org/547M) movie. Details about the improvements can be found in the authors comments (https://tasvideos.org/1506S).
