I found out how to manipulate the incoming marbles to shoot, but I still don't know how to manipulate those who are coming from outside the screen. That would be another case to check.
Wouldn't the sequence be changed by introducing the next colour earlier or later?
Or by starting the game at a different frame/with different values in memory?
It would have been amazing if the anti-piracy mechanism was 'nuzlocke mode rules'.
(no healing items, if a pokemon faints you release it, you can only catch the first pokemon you encounter on any given route/named area)
Clarification: Was 'make awesome chain reactions' completely secondary to the goal of completing as fast as possible, or were there entertainment/time tradeoffs?
I haven't yet gotten further than world 85 or so. Embarrassingly difficult for me. On the other hand, the game seems to err on the side of killing you whenever it has a choice (mario falling and enemy rising so fast that you phase a bit into it and die from it? no problem! kill an enemy on the same frame your shell kills it? too bad! run forward into an enemy during the fadein? etc etc) though a lot of it is personal lack of skill.
I also encountered the glitch you speak of - it happened after I killed/died to a jump-out pirahna plant using a held shell.
It doesn't look like a troll submission, just someone who didn't read enough before submitting.
(Or can you be a troll and be unaware of the fact that you are? Hmm...)
Hah, as long as you're doing requests and don't mind, how about a head or head+shoulders view of a zoid? Any of these will do, they're all well known, though the most recognizable would be the liger zero, shield liger and command wolf.

(When you're on the page for one, mouse over one of the boxes for a different pose, click on the box art to see it in high def.)
As for the 'lives up to 11, displays 6' thing - maybe it was a maximum of 6 at one point, and it got changed to 11 but without changing the code for how many lives it displays?
Only that last card is any good, and for all it can do (multiple turn-1 KOs if you can reuse it enough and don't misfire) the other big decks have explosive starts almost as fast, and a much better game after running out of steam. The idea of competitive games of this is about as appealing as "competitive craps".
I remember the best deck I ever made in that was one copy of that Zapdos and a whole bunch of potions, super potions, defenders, whatever other trainers were useful and lightning energy. It was ridiculously overpowered.
Consider me amused!
EDIT: Going back and watching the 'glitched' run, I have to say I prefer that one. It feels like it's working within the mechanics and limitations of the game, as opposed to stumbling upon a cheat menu and instantly winning. Seeing this is way way faster, though, both should be included.
I thought youtube was meant to butcher movies to get them below X size, so how come it doesn't do that with your videos?
If you upload one gigabyte of footage and I watch it at 360p, how much of that gigabyte am I downloading?
I owned this game and played it far, far too much! It was fun to sweep the electric gym with an all electric resistant deck, for example.
Gonna watch.
EDIT: Interesting! It seems monotonous, but you have to realize the sheer amount of improbability behind a quick kill on every single fight. Deliberately losing to Ronald made for a nice change of pace, and then one hitting him at the very end was the capstone of the movie. Nostalgia yes vote.
