Zool: Ninja of the "Nth" Dimension is a fast-paced side-scrolling platformer. The protagonist can run, jump, climb walls, and shoot enemies. Power-ups for Zool are scattered across the levels. These include life-spending hearts, smart bombs, shields, more powerful jump-skills and a twin Zool. This "twin" imitates the original's motions a few seconds after he performs them.
The8bitbeast (https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/The8bitbeast) abuses a glitch to skip directly to the credits 02:48.45 minutes faster than in his previous run (https://tasvideos.org/4092M).
This run aims to end input as early as possible. The8bitbeast also created a movie (https://tasvideos.org/6614S#FasterRunInRtaTiming984) that reaches the ending 2 frames faster by having 3 extra input frames.
