In Puzzle League (Also known as Tetris Attack), you align blocks of certain colors and shapes into a row or column of 3 or more to clear them. Clearing them in a certain way can lead to chains which rack up lots of points depending on how many chains you accomplish. This is the best way to boost the score. My goal for this game was to hit the max score with a single massive combo as fast as possible.
I had a week off from my other hobby so I thought I'd give this whole TAS thing a shot. Yea, like it was going to be that easy >_>
This is a movie of the Puzzle League side of the Dr Mario/Puzzle League game. I knew this game better as Tetris Attack, which there is already a movie for on this site...but this game has a few differences. First off, you can move the stack while pieces are vanishing. Secondly, the max points is 999999 - which is one more 9 than the SNES version. Major props to everyone who has done anything in frame advance - thinking two moves ahead every step starts to mess with you head after a while.
I took a little bit in the beginning to choose my favorite music and background. If I was going to do this one step at a time, might as well have a background I can appreciate. The "L" button is held the entire time to force the stack up.

Truncated: Due to inability to locate this ROM, this submission is on indefinite hold.
Truncated: I will reject this run, because we already have a run for this game which
- is shorter
- has more appealing graphics and sound
- uses a better strategy to maximise score.
I'm sorry it took me (us) so long to judge this run.
