Game objectives

  • Emulator used: vba-rerecording-v21
  • Completes 25 lines at level 9heart, height 5 as fast as possible
  • Manipulates luck
This movie beats Nineko's submission by about 13.5 seconds. I mainly made it to prove the point that it could be done with 7 lineclears (6 tetrisses and a single line). It nearly gets the approximately highest possible score, but the last lineclear obviously isn't a tetris as that would take longer. I picked a 'level' where it would be possible to make the single line clear at the end with a single block.
The goals of this movie are quite similar to the Tetris DX movie. This completes 40 lines at height 5, and this 25. A difference, besides the amount of lines is the blocks underneath (it's solid at Tetris DX, and has holes at this version). There are also a few other differences, but they are pretty small. I don't know if this movie is different enough to be published (I would have never made it if it wasn't for Nineko's submission)...
Anyway, enjoy! Baxter
Baxter: I'm cancelling this run, since it's too similar to the Tetris DX movie. I never really intended to get this published, but I was pleasantly surprised by the positive feedback it got... thanks!
Baxter: Uncancelling this run in light of the site publication reform.
adelikat: Due to the positive viewer response, I am accepting this for publication to the Alternative tier.
Guga: Processing...

B mode is way cooler than this, since it clears the whole board... plus better ending (dancing mario etc)! They're all short movies, publish 'em all.

God, the NES Tetris ending gives me nightmares. Mario's jump is weird, Luigi try to dance but fails. While I can understand Pit playing a violin and Link playing a flute, why Samus is playing a cello? Not to mention DK PUNCHING the tambourine (or something like that). BUt the worse thing is Bowser. Just look at his eyes. They're empty, soulless. And that grin. Oh, that grin. He looks like he's planning about how to kill you at your sleep. I still thinks GB version is the better one.
My first language is not English, so please excuse myself if I write something wrong. I'll do my best do write as cleary as I can, so cope with me here =) (ﾉಥ益ಥ）ﾉ

I agree with Alden... I don't know why this TAS is compared to the NES Tetris B TAS so much. It's the only TAS that doesn't have lots of tetrisses... I'd say it's the most different.
