fsvgm777 (Stella) pointed out that to playback movies properly on DeSmuME 0.9.10, the user must make a  savestate on the first frame, then load the state.  Then continue playing the movie.  Otherwise errors stating "The data could not be accessed. Power off the DS and reinsert the game Card." occur.

Jenga on the handheld. It's basically a port of the blocky version, except with some different mechanics added every stage and one different rule: You can move any piece as much as you want for as long as you want as long as it's not considered "taken". I specifically rigged it up so that the opponent loses on their first turn.

Game objectives

  • Emulator used: DeSmuME_0.9.10_x86
  • 1 rule abused
  • 1 glitch abused
  • Still worse than the original

I have no clue why the alien/space stage was like that; I couldn't repeat that glitch anywhere else. Incidentally provoked me to make this run.
The credits don't automatically play after beating the main event, so I went to the options to see it akin to the Rubik's Cube TAS.
A possible improvement would be somehow manipulate the pterosaur to swoop in and grab the block in the dinosaur stage (5th). Also somehow replicate the stage 2 glitch.

Noxxa: Judging.
Noxxa: Mediocre viewer response. As Jenga is a board game, this game also does not qualify for the Vault. As such, rejecting.
CoolHandMike: This is being re-judged due to rule changes.
CoolHandMike: Jenga World Tour is considered a board game which was previously not allowed, but now tasvideos allows such submissions. Rule changes mean that triviality or entertainment are not taken into account unless entertainment is explicitly a goal such as a playaround. Here the author destroys the game roughly 10x faster than the nearest RTA speedrun I could find of the game by making the opponent lose on their first turn.
Accepting to Standard.
Great job!
