This proof of concept uses the initial piece order from [4853] NES Tetris "maximum score" by r57shell & Archanfel in 02:53.13 to check if the top line Tetris glitch was doable in the PAL version or not. Turns out it's in fact possible, though I didn't bother what the PAL speed limit for consistently doing this is here.

This was done to check something for #10238: NotMuch's NES Tetris "maximum score, PAL" in 00:51.773.

Proof-of-concept of a future TAS. By holding Select when a piece lands, the PAL version of NES Tetris grants 10000 points for free. This is abused to get a maxout as fast as possible.

This is an improvement of about 20 seconds over 10117s, with StackRabbit. I'll check if there's a way to improve it even more by playing at the top, even if the AI I'd use can't really get tetrises.

I did use a cheat code to let the score roll. Did it play against?

Four Score enabled. 4-player Adapter in use. Hold UP on controller 3, hold LEFT, DOWN, and RIGHT on controller 4. Level 155 is where the crash happens. This fix sets the first two digits in the score to 00 where it normally crashes. Level 169 can still crash however. Be cautious.

I'll add this later

8th preview for my new TAS (although it's only the second preview I have uploaded on here)

The basic idea here is to minimize the amount of points gained from clearing lines. The less lines cleared at once, the less points gained from it, and the lower the level, the lower the score. Additionally, points can be gain from pushing down to make the blocks fall faster. This run starts at level zero and only gets one line clears until it maxes out without ever pushing down.

Current WIP for my fourth version of this TAS
