Introduction

Panel de Pon is the Japanese version of Tetris Attack. Only Japanese version has a glitch as getting about 33333 points by making 32 or over combos, so speedrun is quite different from that of Tetris Attack. For more details, please read Baxter's explanation.
This is 491 frames improvement from previous run.

Information

  • Genre : Puzzle

Improvement points

Here are improvement points from previous run.

Speed Level

No need to rise SPEED Lv.

Character Select

This game has no ability difference among characters but here are other differences.
  • Lags : There is difference about the amount of lag while playing. This is important. Elias (water girl) and Flare (fire girl) have lower lags.
  • Fast start : Another difference is the playable timing in field. This is few but Flare has later timing, then selected Elias.

Combination technique

If you combine blocks just at the same time as the other blocks combining, they become one combo. This may help you make a bigger combo.

Last Combo

As you can see, as soon as third combo is finished, then Movie end.
Generally, once a chain or combo occurs, STOP arises. Then if you're reaching on the top of field, the game isn't over until pushing R/L or waiting a little. However at 32 combos without chain, stopping don't work although STOP is shown on display. I don't know about this but maybe a glitch. (Primarily there are glitches around 32 or over combo) It helped me not re-push R/L and faster Movie end.

Thanks

This run is in fact an improvement from TBR65535's TAS, just as Tetris Attack run. 15 frames improvement from his. My run is almost optimizing of it.
Also, I thank Baxter who is the first TASer of Panel de Pon. I would never have submitted this game's run without his submission.
Enjoy.

Very nice improvement. Nice to see the optimal version for quick input ending finally submitted. When I made the run, I only focussed on getting the 3 combo's as fast as possible. There are still some unused blocks left in the end, but it would probably be quite hard to use the blocks even more efficient. Voting yes of course :).

Sadly the game doesn't scream "stop" anymore. But excellent improvement. Yes vote.

Especially since all that's required to max out the score is to make 3 32+ combos; extra blocks don't really contribute meaningfully unless they could somehow cut that down to only 2 combos, which seems improbable. Nice work, zvsp!

I don't know about PPL... I wish I'd do. Now I think I'll improve LightBlueYoshi's run but I'm afraid of being unaccepted as he says.

Thanks much. I remember I was surprised to see your very fast combo, that's also a great run.

Yes, I wish the amount of remaining blocks would be lower but it was too limited to improve that.

491 frames in such a short run? Wow! I sort-of follow what's happening here, but it's so fast it's hard to tell. That's the mark of a good TAS.

There are no other differences between the two versions.
No other differences? So the characters and backgrounds are the same and I'm just smoking weed as I watch or something?

I must apologize for my failure... I've forgot that the character select is able to skip. Here is improved one I modified by hex editing (79F saved) : http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/214742610/PdP_improved.smv Surely Baxter used this, it's indefensible. Is it allowed to make another submission?
