Tetris Party Deluxe is a Tetris game for the Nintendo DS, which has many modes like Marathon, Sprint (this movie's mode), Shadows and many more. Sprint mode asks you to clear 40 lines as fast as possible. This movie aims for lowest In-Game Time ( 21.83 seconds ) , whitch is 1.33 seconds faster than previous one.
My English is not very good so maybe it's hard for me to explain the improvement.
When the first keypress of the next block is different from the previous one , it allows the next block start moving 1 frame ( at 30 fps ) faster . So place the blocks one to the left and one to the right will be much faster. There is a tetris perfect clear way in this movie, but it needs more keypresses so it will be slower(about 0.1s). This TAS is obviously not the fastest, but it's too hard to make all blocks move in the way witch needs fewest keypresses.
Thanks to teatube (a tetris player in China) helping me a lot in this TAS.

CasualPokePlayer: Nice improvement! Accepting.

EZGames69: Processing...
feos: The mode is called "Sprint" in the game (and it doesn't have a "mode" in its name while some other modes do).

I saw the name Tetris and had to check out what you were doing. Very interesting find, GG Yes vote.
I recently discovered that if you haven't reached a level of frustration with TASing any game, then you haven't done your due diligence. ---- SOYZA: Are you playing a game? NYMX: I'm not playing a game, I'm TASing. SOYZA: Oh...so its not a game...Its for real? ---- Anybody got a Quantum computer I can borrow for 20 minutes? Nevermind...eien's 64 core machine will do. :) ---- BOTing will be the end of all games. --NYMX

Please change BizHawk's README.md file. It still says that MelonDS is in development.

This is not the appropriate place for these kinds of requests. https://tasvideos.org/Forum/Topics/12549 or https://github.com/TASEmulators/BizHawk/issues would be appropriate for this.
