The Adventures of Down Under Dan - The Complete Walkthrough (Perfect Score)

NOTE: Read the description for answers and timecodes to common questions. This is a complete walkthrough (and longplay) of The Adventures of Down Under Dan, made in 1995 by Powervision for DOS. This game didn't get wide distribution, so it didn't become well known until recently. There isn't a full-fledged playthrough on Youtube, nor is there a walkthrough on the internet that's easy to find (there isn't one on GameFAQs, for example). So, I've decided to make one myself and add directions and commentary to the side. Why? Because this game is one of the strangest you'll ever play, but also brutally hard and obtuse. I figured a guide would be useful in experiencing it. Maps of the Abandoned Mines:
