The most puzzling puzzle of all time, it's part of Namco Anthology vol. 1 and is a remake of Babel no Tou, or Tower of Babel. I played this game for the, well, a hundred times? But I still don't know the solution for the floor 17; I searched high and low, but no dice. Looks like no one played this game besides me... So, if you happen to know the solution for this floor, I beg of you, let me know. I'm about to go crazy.
I am old enough to know better, but not enough to do it.

I know nothing about the game, but it's a remake right? Is the puzzle also in the original?

No, floor 17 on the original is completely different.

I don't know how that guy solved it like this, but I believe he is cheating... I came up with a really tedious solution, here's a screenshot: http://i40.tinypic.com/2566a7s.jpg edit: Well, I have to apologize; the guy is not cheating in the video, he is just using an item to solve the puzzle in a fraction of the time I spent here, I’m sorry. The item, a Magic Lamp, allows the character to pass through solid objects when you hold the X button. What he did is actually so simple that I’m ashamed to say that I’ve played the game for so many times without figuring out the use of those "Magic" Lamps… So, despite my stupid mistake on Floor 17, this game is quite enjoyable to play and I’m working on a play through to see if it’s TAS material or not. Thank you guys for the replies, I’ll post the results as soon as I finish the game, see you. edit: the game has some potential, but there's no support for it on the TAS emulators, so it's not possible to TAS it yet.
