The goal of this TAS is to crash NES Tetris (Nintendo, 1989) as fast as possible. I suppose this is the sequel to this TAS: https://tasvideos.org/7624S I do have a sort of companion TAS to this submission that can be found here: https://youtu.be/VANrdLxnntY&t=0 which I may consider worthy of submitting on its own merits. You can find a level conversion sheet for this submission here: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/987042025624981534/1001200368086171709/Level_Conversion_Table.jpg This TAS features a boatload of RNG manipulation via pause abuse to delay when certain pieces hit the stack, and make it more likely that I get long bars for tetrises.
Seeing as this TAS may be the first of its kind, here are a couple of the possible improvements that I could make: Maintaining a center well for the entirety of the movie. Playing closer to the top of the screen (within reason of course).
A version 4.0 is currently in production.

nymx: Claiming for judging.

nymx: I had hoped to hear from the author, but I doubt anything can be said to explain the optimization issue that I have concerns over. The technique of building a tower to land pieces faster, was not used. If that had been the case, then at minimum we could have put this submission into "Playground"...as previously mentioned by feos.
I'm sorry, you have done great in your improvements...but please give it one more try. For now, I'm rejecting this due to optimization once again.
