Manhole was a Game and Watch game relesed WAY back in 1984. But, in 1994 they released it and other Game and Watch games known in Japan as Game Boy Gallery, or known here in the US as Game & Watch Gallery released in 1997.
This run aims to get 100 points in the Manhole game on Hard mode, which really is a challenge.... that's if it's not TASed!
Game objectives
- Emulator used: VisualBoyAdvance 1.7.2 rerecording v19.3
- Aims for the fastest time
- Aims for a very high score
- Plays at the hardest difficulty
- Luck is manipulated

This is my VERY first submission, and it took me about a week to make in secret. It plays through the Manhole mini-game in the Game Boy game Game and Watch Gallery. It aims to get 100 points on Hard difficulty. I may someday aim for 500 or 1000, but I'll do that once I run out of projects.
Manhole
Manhole is a game all about eye-hand coordination (on a real Game Boy, of course) and about luck. As you see, you control Yoshi trying to hold up platforms as Toads, Donkey Kong Jr.s (yes multiples of them) and Wario run across the platform. Once a platform is stepped on, it falls. It is Yoshi's job to hold them up.
The one almost-fatality in this movie is the ONE Wario that runs across the screen nearly falls. This was finally able to be prevented.
Other comments
There are some parts where Yoshi has a seizure or something, I don't know. He spins around freakishly. This is done by going frame by frame, left, up, right, down, left, up ,right.... ect.
There may be another submission I may do later which does all levels in the Japanese version. (it has more games)
Many people upon submission thought that the re-records were low for the 5th try in a week.
1st version: 7132 frames
2nd version: 6856 frames
3rd version: 6198 frames (luck manipulation)
4th version: 6019 frames
This version: 5597 frames
I have not been able so far to make an improvement (this one was started yesterday and ended today, I tried and made 5631 and 5602)
NesVideoAgent: Hi! I am a robot. I took a few screenshots
of this movie and placed them here.
Oh! I also corrected the ROM name.

girfanatic501: It seems many people do not like this submission/think it belongs in Pekopon's mini-game thread. (which it does) Therefore, I think it is right to cancel this decision and move on to better Game Boy/Color/Advanced games.
