The goal is to get five in a row before your opponent does. It starts off easy, then it gets really hard in the end. You play with either numbers or the alphabet. There are options to set: Second 3 - the cat can teleport Ice Stage - you can slide Hide - The tiles can hide sometimes Break D - This mode tests your memory There are 60 levels, which'll take over an hour to complete. There is a password that skips to the final level with the alphabet with options disabled.

I have always wanted to stare a bingo board for hours. Just wanted to mention that I had this game when I was a kid and I still think it sucks. It is too repetitive and TAS would barely stand out from unassisted play. Still, thank you for your... output.

Yes, it is too repetitive to be TASed in full, a password skip to the end is the way to go. There is a glitch in the bonus stage where the game thinks there's a mole right at your starting location, shaving off milliseconds, and luck manipulation is possible. Password skips used in published runs include: Biker Mice From Mars, Boulder Dash, Top Gear 2, and obsolete runs of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!

It is possible to score 4174500, but it is beyond impossible. The scoring mechanics 10 points for every panel occupied 10 points for every open panel x Bingo bonus No Bingo - +10/20/30 (clear half the board or lose a life) Max 230 points Bingo - points for every open panel x 2 ... Max 450 points Double Bingo - points for every open panel x 4 ... Max 730 points + 1 life Triple Bingo - points for every open panel x 16 ... Max 2200 points + 2 lives Quadruple Bingo - points for every open panel x 256 ... Max 20650 points + 3 lives Star Panel - impassable - counts as open panel. Black Hole - Stay away from that! - counts as open panel. Open panel scores don't count if you die. You could still get 200 for falling in the black hole. Take into consideration that you can get 540 extra lives, and the most you can have is 255. 28-3, 56-3, and 60-3 would be hotspots for max score. 4278500 is the maximum score. All you need to do summon random number gods to make this possible. Here's proof of how a quadruple bingo can be done: Link to video

I thought I could hex edit the level number to research lots of passwords. Apparently there is an anti-cheat measure which would create what looks like legitimate passwords, but when I put 'em in, it starts me at level 1 instead of what i wanted. It's like the reverse of Tecmo Bowl which doesn't check for invalid passwords.
