Description

This is a 241 frame (4.02 second) improvement over the current published run.
Most of the improvement came from luck manipulation. The block sequence is affected by operations (slide, rotate, drop) or pressing Select to show/hide the next piece. This makes it possible to get some but not all kinds of tetrimino you need without losing any frames. Actually, I just tried hundreds of fastest (or at most 1 frame slower) inputs of the single placement. I also made the platform like NES Tetris, so that I could save three frames per tetris. It's a small improvement, but entertaining to watch.
Thanks to all GBC and NES Tetris runs. I hope you enjoy.
