I randomly decided to re-watch Beetlejuice · fastest completion in 07:05.666 by ktwo, eien86 and spotted a potential improvement, which also turned out to be a real one. 76f were saved in room 0x14 (reference from $55), a brown-floored room with footballers' legs in the top-down section. The time save came from screen-wrapping at the start of the room.

4 of the frames were then lost to adjust the global timer before the mouse room, 0x18, but they were then recovered again by the graveyard level ending 4f earlier (probably also related to the global timer). The total improvement is therefore 76f.
