Ok I used to answer all the comments but this video is popping off for some reason so I'll just post this and pin it. FAQ: Is this real? It's a TAS, short for Tool-Assisted Superplay. That means I went through the game frame by frame and chose the inputs to get this exact game to happen. A human doing this in real time is out of the question, and even starting on level 0, I'd be amazed if anyone can stack more than 5 rows of this pattern before topping out. How can I make a TAS? It's pretty easy. Download the FCEUX emulator, load a ROM, and then open the TAS editor under the tools tab. Check the recording box to record inputs in real-time or uncheck it to manually set inputs for each frame in the piano roll. Why pause? It's to manipulate the RNG. The next piece is determined by which frame you lock the previous piece on. Since I only have so many frames I can place a piece on and have to get really particular solutions, I occasionally need to make use of the pause button to get some extra delay for the piece I want. Why do the bottom rows disappear? This is a glitch where if you clear a line in row 20, the very top, it also clears an extra line in row 1. This results in triples that count as tetrises, and shifting the entire board down by one cell. Why do the pieces move so much? I thought it looked cool. This part doesn't do anything with the RNG. Can you play forever? For the purposes of real time play, the game crashes in the range of levels 240-255 depending on the type of line clears you make. Doesn't really matter since that's like 3000 lines above the current world record. The cause of the crash is poorly optimized multiplication code for the purpose of score. With enough TAS trial and error it's possible to squeeze past the crash by taking line clears of the right type on the right frames, and make it all the way back to level 0, overflowing the level counter. What's going on with the level number? The game's level number is stored in hexadecimal, which is then used as as index to a table of decimal numbers, so that you see level 10 instead of level 0A. This table ends at 29, meaning that the game will go on to read data it's not supposed to as level number. There happens to be a table of multiples of 10 which comes after it, meaning that for the first 20 entries it's just adding 10 in hexadecimal to the counter (00 0A 14 1E 28 32 etc..) and after it gets through that table it starts reading out code for the remainder of the 255 levels. If people have more questions I can edit it in.

@hydrantdude3642

Good idea. Unfortunately, due to the glitches I do earlier in the run which clear tetrises in 3 lines and delete the bottom row, I end up with an odd number of minos on the board by the end. Since tetriminos add 4 minos each, I can never get the total back to 0 again. It's impossible to do the top-of-screen line clear glitch on 19+, so I'd have to remove one from the 18 section, at which point I have to redo everything after it too.

Why does it pause, is it because it was impossible for the piece to move into place?

@hydrantdude3642

It's for RNG manipulation; pieces are essentially determined based on frame count, total number of pieces, and previous piece. Pause buffering only marginally expands the movement range, and I don't use it for that purpose anywhere in this TAS.

I avoided pausing as much as I could on level 18 in favor of changing timing via pushdown. Unfortunately at the top of the screen there isn't really much room for that, and on level 19 pushing down can only change the timing by one frame. Since I made this tas I was informed that by pressing down+left+right, you can cause the game to freeze all movement every other frame, while still cycling RNG. Even this is unlikely to be enough to avoid pausing entirely, and is still visible because it causes the all the onscreen sprites (current and next piece) to flash. Other pattern-building TASes played their games on level 0 or similar such that they had hundreds of possible drop timings for each placement, without any need for pausing or extra tricks. As mine was played starting on 18, I had no choice.
