I'm sure it has been answered in an earlier comment, but it happens because of a bug in the game. Clear the very top line of the board, and the game will clear not only the lines on top, but also the bottommost line from board, for a total of 4 lines. Additionally, the line-clearing animation will be off by one, down by 1 line from where the actual clearing happens, but this is a visual error only, as the erroneously cleared 4th line will be immediately restored after the cascading.
FOR PEOPLE WONDERING HOW HE'S GETTING WHAT APPEARS TO BE 3-LINE TETRISES: When someone clears the top-most row, the game gets confused and clears the top 4 lines as well as the bottom. This also counts as a "Tetris", since the game thinks it's clearing 4 lines.
i whas only wondering why he whas only clearing the upper blocks and left the lower blocks there like their trash LOL but your comment basicly answered it :)
He also does that because then he doesn't have to wait for the block to hit the bottom of the screen, (begin nerdy voice) because that's too slow for speedruns.
For folks wondering how it seems the game is giving tetrominoes in a repeating order, let's discuss the concept of "PRNG manipulation"... Pseudorandom number generation uses math algorithms to generate a stream of numbers that seems "random" but isn't - there is a pattern that repeats eventually but you might have to cycle through billions/trillions/quadrillions/etc. of numbers before that happens. (For the popular Mersenne Twister algorithm, for example, the pattern repeats after 2^19937-1 values.) However, the hardware in your typical 8-bit NES doesn't use a traditional pseudorandom number generation algorithm because it's not powerful enough to do so. Instead, it uses the slight variations in controller command timing (read: the time between button presses on a controller, measured in microseconds, bit-shifted a few times to scramble the results) to create "random" numbers. Since tool-assisted speedruns involve sending commands to the console/emulator at specific frames of video or even at specific clock cycles in the CPU of the console/emulator, you can manipulate the "random" generator by sending precisely timed commands to the console/emulator, and as a result, you can then control what "random" value comes up next. This speedrun was basically three solid minutes of messing with the PRNG to get what you want when you want it.

1987 at home, 6 mins after coming home, then taking the time to take the new game out and put it into the NES 3 mins after coming through the front door. 3 mins later: "Mom? I beat the game 100%, i'm bored with it now."
All of you people saying it's cheating need to learn what the definition of a TAS is. In short, the player slows the game down to a frame by frame visual so that they have more than enough time to figure out what they need to do. They also use luck manipulation to get the blocks they need/want, use savestates to save and load a certain point in the game in order to correct mistakes if they are made. Programming errors and glitches are also abused in TAS. Once the player is satisfied with what they've done, they edit the video to be viewed in real time to make it appear as if "they are gods." TAS is for entertainment purposes, not to show off. If it weren't for TAS, we wouldn't be seeing some of the "godly" stuff we see players do. Pure entertainment.
Ruiguo666 then show us your TASing skills. even with the savestates and frame advance, it's still really hard to optimize it to the point that people like Achim can do.
Ruiguo666 TAS doesn't allow you to pick and choose what block you want. The system randomly selects the block, same as usual, and, as with all games and programs, the randomizer is based upon a system clock. So, by having the game slowed down as much as is done in a TAS run-through, you can end up calling upon the randomizer at very specific fractions of moments so that the randomizer in the game will generate the block that you want. Cheating would be altering the game to get what you want. In a TAS, the game is completely unaltered. You use tools to work the game like it can be worked.
If you look closely enough you can see he is pausing and un-pausing the game really quickly. He is manipulating the RNG of the type of piece that will spawn. Well done acmlm.
@@whocaresabouttheusername3753 its nearly impossible for computers to make purely random numbers, so they often have an algorithm that determines the rng based on player inputs. a tas is able to do these inputs at perfect precision so when its pausing its manipulating the rng so it gives them the peice they want
Somewhere out there, there is a place where everybody knows what a TAS is. Unfortunately, it's not here. Cheats =/= Hack =/= TAS. TAS uses luck manipulation here, not cheating. Learn the difference.
If the block generator has AI and intentionally wants you to lose, it would give you enough S's and then a Z, then enough Z's and an S. Repeat that. You are bound to lose.
The point of a TAS is to demonstrate how deeply you can exploit a system. Every button you press including the pause button affects the next block so you have to plan out every single input for every single block.
not much planning if the order is the same pattern time after time tool assisted isn't really playing the game now do that on a real run then we will see skill
You still have to, y'know, figure out the pattern. It's not like the games come with cheat sheets that tell TASers exactly what they need to do to do things the fastest way possible.
But when the tool gives you the ability to manipulate the blocks as you see fit it would probably take all of 20 minutes to figure the best pattern to repeat over and over again
***** The tool lets you play frame-by-frame. You still have to figure out which inputs and timings modify the RNG in what way, what the RNG's current seed is, and whether or not the timing aspect will actually align in the right frame when the next piece is determined. Then you have to make sure that all of that still makes it possible to get every other piece you need, all while minimizing time spent pausing. This can take hours at a time of constantly trying new things, reloading to previous save states, and making sure everything aligns juuuust right. And that's _before_ factoring trashing your route after spending all that time on it, just because you discovered a fatal flaw and have to start from scratch.
Holy shit :o never seen so many people who don't know what a TAS is, in the comments. It's hilarious seeing all these people calling you a cheater and hacking XD
fake. hacks. you can’t get a Tetris with a long bar. this was clearly spliced using MS Paint. also, i watched my great-great-great-great-grandmother do this in 3:11.77 on her Steamdeck back in the 10s
crispor123 actually, the human is "playing the game". The computer part is when the player can stop the game, input something, and then resume. The input will read on the frame he stopped the game on and in this case move a block.
Actually TAS, especially on older consoles, use multiple inputs at specific moments between two frames (impossible for an human), because the game is checking a given controller key at, say, T+2ms and another one at T+6ms. The tool alternates between the two keys in order to trick the console. This is notably used in Metroid to do all sorts of fun movement related stuff.
for a Moment I thought it doesn't get past Level 18 and I felt great because that's how fat I got when I played Tetris but then it kept going and it didn't feel all that great anymore lol
What is actually really cool is that if you look at the best human players (i.e. Jonas) they can do something like 675 - 700k transitions in their best games - which is only 50k off the theoretically perfect TAS score! On max-out pace humans are still about 20 lines off (23 here vs. 25 the WR for human max-out) but even that is a pretty powerful statement about how good the best human players are right now.
That's called "Perestroika" Literally translates from Russian as "Rebuilding" So Tetris game was made by Alexey Pazhitnow, a Soviet programmer. Tetris blocks looks like a bricks, and Bricks using for building, so I mentioned Perestroika earlier, so ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED!
The speedrunner is given "Perfect pieces", so it's interesting to look at the number of pieces. The straights are the most common, followed tightly by L-blocks. T's and squares hover in the middle and squigglies are at the bottom.
Basically, it's a glitch where the top line of the board isn't supposed to be cleared, so weird things happen and he actually clears *five* lines (the game only counts four). Check the link posted in the description.
TAS notwithstanding, it's silly to call this the 'fastest' anything with a timestamp, as it's completely fabricated. for one, the same blocks appear in consecutive groups of 10 (albeit in a different order, but the player is able to manipulate them to produce the exact same result every time). also, every 10th block is a blue 'r' shape, allowing the player to clear the top the exact same way every time. furthermore, the 4-line clear tone is heard when only 3 lines are being cleared, which improperly multiplies the score. and lastly, the fact that it's slowed down prevents this from being anything more than a novelty video.
XNDUIW Bricks Anyone who can make 999999 is not average. In the very early days of the NES Tetris craze, at one point I held seventh highest score in the world and was published multiple times in Nintendo Power. I was good, fairly regularly making it to Level 29 when few could navigate past 15. That said, the highest score I ever attained was 655k.
Joseph P. Long. Right alongside Pak Chang Hum (later "Johnny Pak") from Japan. Should be in one of the 1991 editions or thereabouts. Seriously though, if I'd wanted to lie, I'd have said I could get to 999999. And while I see your point regarding the OP's meaning, saying that the "average" player can get to 999,999 in X minutes is kind of like saying that the "average" Bruce Lee can do this or that with his eyes closed standing on one foot. There comes a point where the designation of "average" no longer has any meaning. That's all I was trying to say.
Exactly!!! Not to mention every time this person makes a line the bottom block of the mess he made vanishes too... ive played tetris since i got an orig gameboy in 89, and ive never seen the bottom blocks vanish no matter what kind of match you make up top... this video is crap and it gave me a splitting headache watching it... ugh... fully fuckin disgusted. ..
Philie Spiess "Fully fuckin disgusted" b/c somebody on the internet is playing a game in a way you don't like? Sounds like a pretty sad life. FYI this works on a real NES. It looks to me like clearing the lines at the very top of the screen causes it to wrap around and delete the bottom line or something. But whatever it is, it's nothing to get upset about.
It's no illusion...It really is clearing 4 lines at the top + 1 at the bottom, rather than only 3 at the top. It's a glitch, the link at the description explains that.
I think I get it... Since each block is four pieces (hence the name Tetris), and the play area is 10 blocks wide, then it is always possible to align every 10 pieces into 4 lines (10 x 4 = 40). There is also some trick I'm not sure of that makes another whole line shift down every time he gets 4 rows so that they build up until the screen is full. Then once it's full, he shoves the long pieces in the gap while using the other pieces to build up his tower to the top to start all over again!
Also a bug allows him to get a tetris when he clears the top 3 rows because the game erroneously also clears the bottom line. This makes it so a Tetris requires less square segments - instead of 4 full lines you only need three full lines + one sement. This gives the same points but naturally has a better point-per-segment ratio and therefore also requires less pieces, saving some time.
Just want to point something out to the really stupid comments out there; If you are dumb enough to say that the guy who created this video is bad at the game, I suggest you look him up. Acmlm is one of the best Tetris and Dr. Mario player in the world and currently holds many world records, all of which have been achieved legitimately. Making a TAS like this isn't as easy as it looks.
Gunma the retro gamer I didn't say that. I said, you are a dumbass for not knowing that the original commenter referenced a video series called Bored God plays _____________
Deez Nutz Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies was in a ballet that took place during Christmas time. So in my opinion, that is more of a Christmas song than My Favorite Things.
Wait, what's with him getting tetrises at the top and block disappearing at the bottom? Is that because they're building up all the way? Probably just some original NES edition I'm unaware of, it looks like. Which I'm assuming in the end awards more points than a standard tetris? Because otherwise I feel like the perfect run would look a lot different :P
Pietro Celano it's based on how it's pronounced, this is pronounced with a "y" noise or "YEW", meaning it gets "a" instead of "an". However for words that start with "u" pronounced "UH" get "an".
To be honest, this kinda looks like a bot. Hardcore fan or not, there is no way a normal human being could do this kind of thing... That or I just fucking fail at stacking colorful shapes ;-;
It's not a bot, it's a human doing the inputs while the game goes in super slow motion so he can get everything frame perfect, and also he uses save states to fix mistakes and get the blocks he wants when he needs them. So it's not a hack or anything, its just for entertainment, thats what tas is all about... mostly.
Tool assisted speed runs are stupid "Hey, I created a program that will put what blocks I want on" That isn't a speedrun. It's called programming. It doesn't require skill at the game because you know what is going to happen.
That isn't cheating, he played the game either slowed down or frame by frame, no hacks/gameshark/gamegenie (lol)/etc Now if this was LABELED as an* RTS, that would be cheating.
cool gamebreaker. I'm assuming a 3-line at the very top turns into a Tetris in normal gameplay as well? It looks like even a 2-line became a Tetris. That's a really neat trick to know if you're in a pinch. I could only get to Level 11 as a kid. I think my mother maxed out around level 23 or 25. For some reason she attributes that success to her skills at Galaga.
Just for even more clarification: TAS runs aren’t actual counted runs, and they are simply to simulate “perfect runs” for whatever you are trying to achieve.
At first I was like: "He's gonna bomb out, it's a joke video..." Then I was like: "WHAT? Why did he do that?" And then I realized: "He's cutting down on the time it takes pieces to fall."
Have you watched the video? There is an obvious pattern. ( There is no such thing as random in a computer ). His placement of block changes from time to time but that's about it.
Also, this is a Tool-Assisted-Speedrun. In the page, it is marked that the user, in order to achieve this, tried: Recorded with FCEUX 2.1.3, old PPU (syncs in 2.1.5) Fastest time to 999999 Luck manipulation Glitch abuse The magic in these TAS is not the time, or speed, it's the coder's abilities to make impressive situations

For folks wondering how it seems the game is giving tetrominoes in a repeating order, let's discuss the concept of "PRNG manipulation"...
Pseudorandom number generation uses math algorithms to generate a stream of numbers that seems "random" but isn't - there is a pattern that repeats eventually but you might have to cycle through billions/trillions/quadrillions/etc. of numbers before that happens. (For the popular Mersenne Twister algorithm, for example, the pattern repeats after 2^19937-1 values.) However, the hardware in your typical 8-bit NES doesn't use a traditional pseudorandom number generation algorithm because it's not powerful enough to do so. Instead, it uses the slight variations in controller command timing (read: the time between button presses on a controller, measured in microseconds, bit-shifted a few times to scramble the results) to create "random" numbers.

So Tetris game was made by Alexey Pazhitnow, a Soviet programmer.
Tetris blocks looks like a bricks, and Bricks using for building, so I mentioned Perestroika earlier, so ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED!
This is absolutely phenomenal!
as you can see this was done via TAS.
or, yknow. drugs.
+Christopher Gudgeon bro it says in the description it was a tas
Miss Secretive it's a joke.
Tetris is drugs.
The moves are played so fast that the sound effects almost sound like the rhythmic chirp of crickets.
Now do this with non-tas version
It’s already been done
RazorGuild - Prove it
Denzel 'My Nigga' Washington look it up
The speedrunner is given "Perfect pieces", so it's interesting to look at the number of pieces. The straights are the most common, followed tightly by L-blocks. T's and squares hover in the middle and squigglies are at the bottom.
Kudos on the RNG manipulation!
Nice strategy to do back-to-back tetrises at the top! It saves a lot of time than doing them at the bottom.
Boom Tetris for Jeff :D.
Boom Tetris for Jonas
Basically, it's a glitch where the top line of the board isn't supposed to be cleared, so weird things happen and he actually clears *five* lines (the game only counts four). Check the link posted in the description.
TAS notwithstanding, it's silly to call this the 'fastest' anything with a timestamp, as it's completely fabricated. for one, the same blocks appear in consecutive groups of 10 (albeit in a different order, but the player is able to manipulate them to produce the exact same result every time). also, every 10th block is a blue 'r' shape, allowing the player to clear the top the exact same way every time. furthermore, the 4-line clear tone is heard when only 3 lines are being cleared, which improperly multiplies the score. and lastly, the fact that it's slowed down prevents this from being anything more than a novelty video.
An average person to reach 999,999 is about 30 minutes.
XNDUIW Bricks Anyone who can make 999999 is not average. In the very early days of the NES Tetris craze, at one point I held seventh highest score in the world and was published multiple times in Nintendo Power. I was good, fairly regularly making it to Level 29 when few could navigate past 15. That said, the highest score I ever attained was 655k.
Joseph P. Long. Right alongside Pak Chang Hum (later "Johnny Pak") from Japan. Should be in one of the 1991 editions or thereabouts. Seriously though, if I'd wanted to lie, I'd have said I could get to 999999. And while I see your point regarding the OP's meaning, saying that the "average" player can get to 999,999 in X minutes is kind of like saying that the "average" Bruce Lee can do this or that with his eyes closed standing on one foot. There comes a point where the designation of "average" no longer has any meaning. That's all I was trying to say.
Exactly!!! Not to mention every time this person makes a line the bottom block of the mess he made vanishes too... ive played tetris since i got an orig gameboy in 89, and ive never seen the bottom blocks vanish no matter what kind of match you make up top... this video is crap and it gave me a splitting headache watching it... ugh... fully fuckin disgusted. ..
Philie Spiess "Fully fuckin disgusted" b/c somebody on the internet is playing a game in a way you don't like? Sounds like a pretty sad life. FYI this works on a real NES. It looks to me like clearing the lines at the very top of the screen causes it to wrap around and delete the bottom line or something. But whatever it is, it's nothing to get upset about.
It's no illusion...It really is clearing 4 lines at the top + 1 at the bottom, rather than only 3 at the top.
It's a glitch, the link at the description explains that.
did the devs really code the building so it would fly away at 999999? i like devs that doo cool stuff like that!
It already does that at a 120k points actually.
I think I get it... Since each block is four pieces (hence the name Tetris), and the play area is 10 blocks wide, then it is always possible to align every 10 pieces into 4 lines (10 x 4 = 40). There is also some trick I'm not sure of that makes another whole line shift down every time he gets 4 rows so that they build up until the screen is full. Then once it's full, he shoves the long pieces in the gap while using the other pieces to build up his tower to the top to start all over again!
do you get more points for being at the top or something??
Bob Jones it's faster to drop the pieces if you're already close to the top.
Also a bug allows him to get a tetris when he clears the top 3 rows because the game erroneously also clears the bottom line. This makes it so a Tetris requires less square segments - instead of 4 full lines you only need three full lines + one sement. This gives the same points but naturally has a better point-per-segment ratio and therefore also requires less pieces, saving some time.
You know it's fake when the top line magically dissappears after points are scored.
I dig the 1 frame pause buffers to manipulate the piece that comes next
You shoutve writen that its TAS in videoname
AndyBenke it says tas at the start of the video lol
RazorGuild after you clicked the video and realize it's a TAS it's so annoying
AndyBenke he did
*Tetris Gods: Coming soon in a theater next to you*
What The Fuck XD THAT ENDING
Just want to point something out to the really stupid comments out there; If you are dumb enough to say that the guy who created this video is bad at the game, I suggest you look him up. Acmlm is one of the best Tetris and Dr. Mario player in the world and currently holds many world records, all of which have been achieved legitimately.
Making a TAS like this isn't as easy as it looks.
who finds that satisfying?
I saw the first few blocks and thought, "are you out of your goddamn mind?!"
jist building up a hole for an L and always getting an L just seems a bit suspicious...
Noah G TAS - "Tool Assisted Speedrun". Learn how to read please.
Dude, it says tool assisted for one second, some of us didn't notice it said that. Learn to understand before you get all rude about it.
you could've read the description.
+KaelinatorPVP
it's not in the description
KaelinatorPVP the video link says tasvideos
Man, thats totally nuts, but the guy who made the record is pretty awesome!
85 people are jellous and say that the player is cheating.
Take a look at the number of S pieces in proportion to the others...
FlagDUDE08 Like many tool assisted speedruns it uses luck manipulation.
This is straight up tas. You can see the flickering of the pause screen when he's doing his save states.
Nice tas xD
Gh0StPY yeah he is really talented
Not sarcasm.
Aston Wiggin he spent hours working on this i would kind of call it talent
That's a first for me. I never saw anybody play Tetris like that before. Kick ass! ~Buzz Killer, Talking Zombie From Western Pennsylvania
dat rng manipulation tho
lol
This is the greatest thing I have ever seen
Bored God plays Tetris
Number ZER0 You fucking dumbass.
TheDominator1307 how it even says tas at the beginning.
TheDominator1307 if you didn't know what is TAS,please do some research before comment the video is cheating
Gunma the retro gamer I didn't say that. I said, you are a dumbass for not knowing that the original commenter referenced a video series called Bored God plays _____________
TheDominator1307 oh sorry of my misunderstanding
The entire cast of Puyo Puyo Tetris are currently pissing themselves right now.
sounds like accelerated Christmas music
also... PAUSING? DansGame
Well this version of Tetris does use the song Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.
It's using TAS ( basically plaued by a computer)
MSteel steel no TAS is when you play it frame-by-frame
Deez Nutz Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies was in a ballet that took place during Christmas time. So in my opinion, that is more of a Christmas song than My Favorite Things.
Also if you look closely he pauses the game and unpauses quickly when clearing lines
Wait, what's with him getting tetrises at the top and block disappearing at the bottom? Is that because they're building up all the way? Probably just some original NES edition I'm unaware of, it looks like. Which I'm assuming in the end awards more points than a standard tetris? Because otherwise I feel like the perfect run would look a lot different :P
Yeah it's a glitch
does anyone notice how he gets so many Tetris' with a piece only 3 blocks in height?? lol
SperoGin it's a bug in the game.
This is a TAS so it can do things humanly impossible.
Aston Wiggin whats the bug called and what causes it
noah the nacho idk I just saw it somewhere
Dr lol
Well that trick is very possible, it just requires some luck.
Forget what I said on the last video. THIS is PlayFun once it learns that stacking blocks is a losing strategy.
Ikr
Tetris is a Russian game
yes, it is...
+Luigi99MX omnomnom!!! I ate it. sorry.......
+Victor Nguyen ;D
In Russia, game plays you.
And here come all the in soviet russia jokes
The music is that fast because it's basically panic mode, and the bricks are so fast because he's holding the down button.
I mean it's all based on luck like you got pretty lucky but it's possible in 2 mins and 49 seconds
Mr. Jeffinizor TAS (Tool Assisted Speedrun).
I mean this exact speed run with the tools
i am pretty sure he did try to manipulate the rng to its max
yea he probably did :P
I was not expecting TAS, I was here for legitmate.
soz
why the fuck is the cremlin being ejected from the world and there is an ufo near it!
Pietro Celano a*
X Lightning
an *U* fo
*****
why put "a" before a vowel, U is a vowel, Unidentified starts with a vowel.
Pietro Celano it's based on how it's pronounced, this is pronounced with a "y" noise or "YEW", meaning it gets "a" instead of "an". However for words that start with "u" pronounced "UH" get "an".
Pietro Celano so whenever you are saying "u" alone you use "a" because when pronounced it has a "y" noise, unlike every other vowel
This tas builds better than your expert construction worker.
To be honest, this kinda looks like a bot. Hardcore fan or not, there is no way a normal human being could do this kind of thing...
That or I just fucking fail at stacking colorful shapes ;-;
love the humiliation in the end of your comment
It's not a bot, it's a human doing the inputs while the game goes in super slow motion so he can get everything frame perfect, and also he uses save states to fix mistakes and get the blocks he wants when he needs them. So it's not a hack or anything, its just for entertainment, thats what tas is all about... mostly.
It's tool assistes speedrun (TAS), it's point is to know the fastest possible time with perfect conditions and key pressing or something
Tool assisted speed runs are stupid
"Hey, I created a program that will put what blocks I want on"
That isn't a speedrun. It's called programming. It doesn't require skill at the game because you know what is going to happen.
***** I was expecting real skill. This isn't entertaining, it is repetitive.
***** I didn't.
***** You too.
It requires skill at programming.
edilcanidal Not at the game.
As a technical point I've brought up with other Tetris players, the game rewards an extra line because the 3-bar was on the top of the screen.
NOW DO IT WITHOUT CHEATING NOOB!
He wasn't cheating, he used a fair technique
***** he was cheating, its a TAS
That isn't cheating, he played the game either slowed down or frame by frame, no hacks/gameshark/gamegenie (lol)/etc
Now if this was LABELED as an* RTS, that would be cheating.
***** The video is sped up
It's not, it's at 100% speed
cool gamebreaker. I'm assuming a 3-line at the very top turns into a Tetris in normal gameplay as well? It looks like even a 2-line became a Tetris. That's a really neat trick to know if you're in a pinch. I could only get to Level 11 as a kid. I think my mother maxed out around level 23 or 25. For some reason she attributes that success to her skills at Galaga.
"Fuck this planet... And that spaceship. I'm taking off in my city."
- King Tetris
That's the point, it's basically a TAS. Look at how often you can see 'PAUSE' pop up in the middle of the screen.
That is far and away the most impressive thing ever
link me yours then
wtf?
I think you're legit. Good job on 999999. :3
Full tetris (clearing 4 lines) I assume clears a line at the bottom as a bonus
No way, he only did a triple on the top.
Well that's 3 minutes and 31 seconds I'll never get back.
My anxiety went nuts after watching this video.
so... pressing down doesn't make a difference in 19, so why do it if there will be no difference with the neglifible points?
im 90% sure its for rng manipulation
It’s humingly impossible untill one human on earth will stand up and show this live on yt, in order to prove me wrong😁
I never noticed the similarities between Fur Elise and the Tetris theme until this video
Just for even more clarification: TAS runs aren’t actual counted runs, and they are simply to simulate “perfect runs” for whatever you are trying to achieve.
You know that "Thank you!" .gif that's from The Office (US)?
I'd be posting that as my reply if TH-cam would let me.
At first I was like:
"He's gonna bomb out, it's a joke video..."
Then I was like:
"WHAT? Why did he do that?"
And then I realized:
"He's cutting down on the time it takes pieces to fall."
Have you watched the video? There is an obvious pattern. ( There is no such thing as random in a computer ). His placement of block changes from time to time but that's about it.
Also, this is a Tool-Assisted-Speedrun. In the page, it is marked that the user, in order to achieve this, tried:
Recorded with FCEUX 2.1.3, old PPU (syncs in 2.1.5)
Fastest time to 999999
Luck manipulation
Glitch abuse
The magic in these TAS is not the time, or speed, it's the coder's abilities to make impressive situations
