Mornin' everyone. I seem to have a little break from my other hobby so I thought I'd give this whole TAS thing a shot. This is a run through of Puzzle League which is basically Tetris Attack. What's the difference between this game and the SNES Tetris Attack? Well... you can move the block stack while stacks are clearing which grants essentially infinite chains. Also the max score is 999999. This is what I've got so far - any comments/flames are welcome. I've used frame advance for the whole thing. I hope it doesn't desync after all this >_> http://putstuff.putfile.com/25226/3880032 EDIT: ER... movie file says rom name is "DRMARIOPONE" but when i yoinked it it was "2 Games in 1 - Dr. Mario & Puzzle League (U).gba"

Welcome, Townsocks! Just to point out, if you enter the ball code at the start of Tetris Attack, you can move the stack during chains. Unfortunately, I cannot watch the movie because I don't have the Rom and can't find it. You did check what thtings give you certain amounts of points, right?

Actually I was planning on making it to the max score through a single massive combo. Right now I'm at 200 something So Tetris Attack had a stack move code? Well at least I have my 999999 marker -_-

Now one massive combo would just be awesome. But you do know that every 3 in a row you make during a combo gives you as many points as the previous combo bit gave you, right? Even better idea: Two combos going at the same time.

>ER... movie file says rom name is "DRMARIOPONE" but when i yoinked it it was "2 Games in 1 - Dr. Mario & Puzzle League (U).gba" Internal ROM name is not the same thing as filename. The movie file only saves the internal ROM name. I'll check out the submission you made.

*bump* How about Vs. CPU Timed? CPU level 20, both Game level 10, Your handicap -90%, CPU handicap +90%. Your score is divided by 10, The CPU score is nearly double, so it gives it a 19x advantage. Best strategy is to get 13x chain as quickly as possible. Keep the chain going and match 3 non-chained blocks to help boost your score.

For a 54-combo, have the whole board filled and get a 6 combo in a 2x3 match in the middle columns and make the other two 2x3 matches in order to get a bonus. A 54-combo will net you a high score. The best strategy for 999,999 no lift. In Pokemon Puzzle League, you can get an 88-combo and a 92-combo for a huge score! Best 3D strategy ever! Update: I need help in getting a 44 combo. The game tends to troll me a lot. Although I did reach 10,000 just for the credits.
