About the movie
Using #6691: ThunderAxe31's GBC Pokémon Puzzle Challenge "Puzzle mode, all levels" in 44:41.01 as a reference, I made some improvements, and saved time by using new unintended solutions. Before each level begins, cursor movements indicate the solution steps.
Differences between Japan and USA versions
Loading times
The loading time for the level selection screen is 20 frames shorter in the Japan version than in the USA version.
extra, 3-1
In the Japan version, a foothold underneath is required to catch the falling block at the last moment. Therefore, it is not possible to beat extra 3-1 with one count remaining.
Unintended solutions
Please refer to #6691: ThunderAxe31's GBC Pokémon Puzzle Challenge "Puzzle mode, all levels" in 44:41.01 for 4-10, 5-2, 6-1, extra 2-1, extra 2-10, and extra 5-8.
4-5
Create the chain by grabbing a falling block in mid-air.
5-4
Save time by clearing all the green blocks first.
7-3
Arrange the red blocks in a inverted-L shape instead of a cross shape.
extra, 2-5
Arrange the red blocks in a cross shape instead of a T shape.
extra, 4-3
Move the green block quickly twice to avoid getting caught in the falling blocks.
extra, 5-2
The order of the chain has been changed.
extra, 5-4
First, clear 12 blocks, then clear the remaining blocks in a chain.
extra, 5-7
By quickly moving the navy block twice, the level beaten with one count remaining.
extra, 5-10
By making full use of frame-perfect trickeries, the chain order was significantly changed.
extra, 6-2
Another example where the order of the chain has been changed.
extra, 6-8
First, erase all the navy blocks, then rearrange the other blocks in mid-air.
Fast cursor movement
Giving the cursor a one block run-up allows it to move fastest in a straight line, e.g. 1-10, 2-5, 2-10, 3-8, etc.

Darkman425: Hello zzk1box, and welcome to TASVideos!
Even with taking out roughly 5-6 seconds of faster loading (if I assumed my math correctly) and a slightly different Extra 3-1, there's quite a lot of new and faster solutions added here that ensure that this is definitely more optimized than the older publication once region differences are accounted for. Nice work!
Accepting to Standard as an improvement to [4176] GBC Pokémon Puzzle Challenge "Puzzle mode, all levels" by ThunderAxe31 in 44:41.01.
