This is a homebrew game created by MatrixZ. All you have to do is move the snake with the D-pad and get the numbers 1 thru 9 to clear the level. There are 25 mazes in this game. It is a good game, it's very simple. The Hard Quest has the most challenging mazes at the end, and 8 are re-used.

Extreme Quest is even more difficult as the snake moves faster and more levels are re-used. What if we could do a TAS of this game? We can use this following ROM Image: NeSnake 2 (V1.2) (NTSC) by Matrixz (PD).nes (I'm not providing a download link, you have to look for it yourself)

In this game, luck can be manipulated by all input, so there are a lot of possibilities to manipulate the numbers to appear in your favour. I made a brute force lua bot that randomly checks input until it finds one where the number appears next to you. Using this bot, all levels could be beaten this way. Here's the .fcm. The high rerecord count is due to the bot. Watch with input display to see the strange input from the bot!

I created a formula that works for scoring. ( lives ÷ 2 x 10 ) + ( stage - 1 ÷ 2 x 10 ) + n x L Rounded up to the nearest 10 Example: If you have 6 lives, in stage 5, moderate level ( 6 ÷ 2 x 10 ) + ( 5 - 1 ÷ 2 x 10 ) + 30 x 2 = 160 n = 30 For max a score run, play from easy, eat all the apples the collect the randomly appearing star before getting the numbers. In stage 13 on extreme, crash after getting the 8, you're guaranteed to score at least 10,000 points every time. Keep doing it until you reach 9,999,990. I wanted to do stage 7 on extreme which has 5 apples instead of the usual 5, but it falls short by 10, leading to a possible game over. Lives, Stage, and Skill Level affects your score. simplified formula: ( lives ÷ 2 ) + ( stage - 1 ÷ 2 ) x 10 + n x L

Max score TAS - Get all the apples in every stage - Get a star in each stage - Get extra life ASAP by getting apples and stars and just the number to get 10000 points before getting the rest - Don't crash - Don't overflow the point gain counter - You get a heart every 5 levels
