Pitfall II: Lost Caverns is a platforming video game originally released for the Atari 2600 in 1984. The sequel to the popular Pitfall!, it opens up the world into a free-roaming adventure instead of progressing on a linear path.

This run is different from the any% TAS (http://tasvideos.org/2618M.html) in that it does everything necessary to achieve the maximum score. This means avoiding falling down pits (which decreases your score by 100 each time) and following a much longer route in order to obtain all items. This route allows the author to show off a glitch that spawns a balloon earlier than intended, which is used an additional time in this run to save 4.40 (264 Frames @60 FPS) seconds over the previous run (http://tasvideos.org/2619M.html).
