First of all, I'm sorry for resubmitting this TAS. This time, I have a verification movie for the SRAM. [dead link removed]

Game objectives
- Emulator used: DeSmuME version 0.9.6 msvc 1500

- I'm trying to make awesome chain reactions.

This is my first TAS ever! It's been done on Magnetica (also known as Actionloop and Shunkan Puzzloop), which is obviously Zuma. The goal of Challenge Mode is to get to level 100, by breaking marbles and creating chain reactions. This movie features the biggest chain reaction I could make, which is 18. I could also manage to get some 10+ chains in the highest levels! To close a decade of levels, I had to shoot a rocket that appears in the last level of a decade and that pushes the marbles.
Stage by stage comments
Levels 0 to 9
That was easy. The eastiest part of the game. My biggest chain there was 15.
Levels 10 to 19
That was a bit harder, but I could manage to get a chain of 18, the biggest chain of this whole TAS.
Levels 20 to 29
This was beginning to become a little pile of mess, since yellow marbles made their entrance to the game, but I could manage to get a chain of 13.
Levels 30 to 39
Light blue marbles made their first appearance here. After I made a chain of 15, I was approaching death, until I made a chain of 7.
Levels 40 to 49
The marbles were getting more scrambled, that made the game harder, but I could manage to make a chain of 14.
Levels 50 to 59
Purple marbles made their first appearance here. The farther I get, the more you'll hear that warning music. My biggest chain there was 10. I've waited a bit before I shot that level-closing rocket, because I was preparing a good chain reaction.
Levels 60 to 69
Right at the beginning of level 60, I could make a chain of 8. Then, I was two marbles before death. This is the less entertaining bunch of 10 levels of the movie.
Levels 70 to 79
Green marbles started to appear here. It's becoming a miserable pile of scrambled mess. I could manage to get a chain of 11.
Levels 80 to 89
Those annoyingly rare white marbles made their first appearance here. I had to start over these levels at least five times, seriously! These were a big deal! The biggest chain was 10.
Levels 90 to 99
I was more focusing on finishing that darn game! The biggest chain was only 5!
Then, I skipped that useless staff credits minigame.
The end.
