Nes Tetris: level 256 in
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 07. 2019
- I decided to get to the killscreen from level 0 using only tetrises, then once I got there I decided to keep going. I used an unmodified ROM with the uncapped scoring game genie code (ENEOOGEZ).
I also used a LUA script to prevent the game from crashing, which caps the scoring at 240000 per tetris. If I hadn't capped the scoring, my score would have been 151,413,717, the highest scoring game that I know of. This is also the lvl 256 speedrun record, beating the previous record by just over 5 minutes.
A nice explanation of most of the glitches shown here can be found at meatfighter.com/nintendotetri... - Hry

Wow epic gamer moment

No pauses, not spamming rotations, not burning any lines and no RNG manipulation. It's weird seeing TAS not doing any of this.
Let's see TAS in Tetris Gym. Can you guess how much Hz does TAS makes?

Joseph just holds back and uses only 1% of his full power during tournaments.
This isn’t Joseph it’s a tool assist which means there’s a bot playing the game basically perfectly jus to prove its theoretically possible
The last level being pure red is the most fitting thing ive ever seen
and what i also like is....whats so scrary about it is that ...its like Satan himself is embeded into the game at that level...take a look at this time line...23:29 Look at the Statistics
Very Communist of the game xD
Note that the colours past level 137 are completely unintended and are the result of a faulty calculation leading to junk code being used for the colours.
in the actual game levels past a certain point would actually have the color palette of the previous level cuz at some point a desync occurs so you would never actually see the all red color palette
In a real run it wouldn't be all red because somewhere in the late hundreds of levels the game forgets to change palettes and is stuck 1 palette behind
23:52 Look at the LINES counter
BucketCrab aah
that scared me holy shit
Booooooo
Holy shit you scared me
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
the last level being red is some creepypasta shit, absolutely love it
id love for it to be red for real, but sadly it doesnt happen its actually the purple palette before that

I love that this got so far into it the game started to look like a creepypasta version of Tetris at times.
I like the color scheme of level 255. Solid red blocks on black background
Very interesting how the code of the game goes for a deep and unsettling red for the final level it can load before deciding to loop back around to the first level and its calm blue and white colour scheme. Quite poetic in a way.

Jeezus, how long did it take you to make this? A one-hour TAS must've been excruciating. Great job!
took me a couple of months working on and off
I am making a similar tas (It's not only tetrises), and I just reached three hours. I'm trying to record it but it still takes forever to do so.
OK! Here is the tas so far: czcams.com/video/ThQZl7L6sOk/video.html&
(it's a playlist because the recording got split up into pieces)
I've been working on this for over a year now, it started as just me trying to get a maxout, I was very bad at the game then, and the first hour really shows that. Near the very end I try doing it with only tetrises.
@@LovroPlaninsek hows it doing?
@@solblackfire3237 yoooo I've been doing so many other things. Since I posted the videos there it got like, 6 minutes longer or something. Every time I get back to it I get reminded of how trash the first hour is. I didn't even seriously play the game when I started making the tas. Also the emulator keeps crashing every 3-5 minutes purely because of it's length, if it wasn't frustrating enough. I'm probably not gonna continue doing it.

So someone combine Thor, Jonas and Joseph's brains and put them in a supercomputer.

The game getting gradually more and more broken as things go on:
06:44 Score passes 999999, the first digit goes into hex values, from A00000 onwards.
07:49 Level 29, the game reaches its maximum speed, known as the killscreen.
07:58 Level count breaks, displaying seemingly random hex values for the rest of the video.
08:15 Score passes E99999, and wraps back around to A00000. This pattern repeats for the rest of the video. I'm surprised it repeats A-E like that. I expected a hexadecimal 0-F wraparound.
21:56 Line count passes 999, the first digit goes into hex values, from A00 onwards.
29:16 Start of the glitched colour schemes.
33:33 Line count passes F99 and continues through the alphabet, so not actually hex values.
45:06 Start of the absurdly long level.
49:11 Statistics: I-piece count passes 999, first digit goes into hex values from A00 onwards.
55:15 Statistics: same thing for the T-piece count. Other pieces aren't far behind.
1:01:01 End of the absurdly long level.
1:03:14 Statistics: the Z-piece count is the last to reach hex values.
1:08:00 The game wraps back around to level 00 and the slowest speed.
A couple of questions I have at the end:
The final line count is X60. What happens if you keep playing past Z99?
The final I-piece count is E13. What happens if you keep playing? Does those behave like the score, looping from A00-E99? Does they behave like the line count, going through the rest of the alphabet? Or something entirely different?
After Z, the line counter would go through the rest of the pattern sheet, first using different characters like - and , then other textures from the game. The piece counters behave the same as the lines, eventually going through the alphabet and so on. You can see this in this video here: czcams.com/video/W8GcxyLoUHE/video.html
@@demartian8988 Why does the score stop at all 9s in this video?
The original game didn't go over 999,999. You can uncap the score with a game genie code.@@forasago
999999, not A00000. Read my comment for more information.

I like how the last level before it loops back is some sort of 'hell level' with that color scheme.

at 6:48 the music loops for the first time in regular speed; it's the first time the game gets through the whole piece without the stack getting high enough to trigger uh-oh mode, which resets it every time! after that, it only goes into fast mode again at 10:33, and very briefly at that! after that it briefly goes into fast mode for a few seconds at a time sporadically. I imagine because at the fastest speed, it's inoperable to have too high a stack, especially for very long
(I didn't count how many times the piece repeated in fast speed)
if anyone's curious, the piece is Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, from the Nutcracker Suite, by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky :)

Long level with an 800 line clear requirement starts at 45:07 and ends at 1:01:01
Turns out it ain’t always green.
never trust stackrabbit
the reason the stackrabbit video got the long level on the green level (level 235) is because it started on level 19. When you start on levels past level 10, the line requirement to get past the first level is weird. it takes 140 lines to get to level 20 from a level 19 start due to a bug.
The line count has to pass about 2190 lines (L90) before things break down, though in the SR video it does it at M90 due to the starting level.
@@alecrutz6979 Actually, the "Level 96" it's Level 219, and to pass to Level 220 yo need 810 lines.
As you said, you need 10 lines to pass every level, except this one. I noticed that because when level 219 starts, it marks that you have L10 lines (that are 2190), and when it starts level 220 (shown as level 85), the lines show that you reach U00 lines (3000 lines), which are a differnce of 810 lines.
Also, the lines indicator can show you after level 29 in which level are you, until level 100, where it starts showing letters, being A=1000 lines and Level 100, B= 1100 lines and level 110 and so on...

In this case, at 36:32 the level is that if you're advance to next level, the color and level doesn't change until next 10 lines again, this is why the bug mandatory prevents you to seek level 255 (A8, red solid palette) if without lua/hacks
Oh

1:08:03: Game Over
I guess a hypothetical RTA "256" run (assuming you avoid the crashes) would be around 70-80 minutes (being very generous with time estimates here). I know crash triggers and dodges are documented, but even with that knowledge, how luck-dependent would such a run be? (eg. getting favourable pieces)
Because of a glitch called "confetti", there's actually a nice checkpoint somewhere mid-colours (before the 800-something line level) where the players can take a break and resume play when they want
I like those B&W colored blocks at 35.36, wich literally give an idea at how the gameboy version would look in B&W , it’s far far from identical ,but we get the point about it.
35:36 you mean?
4 years later a human beat this game.
Insane.
in level 155 (or 157)
Yes but not fully beaten until 255 is cleared. That will probably take years if ever.
This is hypnotic
Can you do a TAS for Popeye from NES that finishes after completing Level 256? That's far longer than Tetris to finish.
7:49 theme: playing in flame
I have a question, and a kinda stupid one at that: At the end of the game, all the pieces stack up and you lose. Does the game prevent you from moving at that point, or did the program stop running because it met its goal? Like could this go on forever hypothetically if the program kept running? Does it restart at level 0/level 256 back to standard gameplay or does it just stop working?
Theoretically you can go on playing forever, provided that your piece placement/line clear doesn't trigger the crash (this TAS implemented a cap specifically to prevent it from crashing). When the level counter passes 255 and wraps back to zero, the pieces revert to their original speed. This player deliberately topped out the moment it wrapped around.
Nah I just quit because I didn’t want to keep going, but you can theoretically keep going forever. This was not make with a bot, I entered every input manually. After level 255 it goes back to level 0 including the speed, color palette and points per line, but keeps stats such as lines, piece counters, and score
I can't imagine playing a little over an HOUR of Tetris like that. My brain would melt lol
Who's this TAS guy and why is he so good at tetris?
ikr, he should play in the championships
21cpu21 his real name is Jason saelee.
Also at 1:01:50 it’s red and green ooh
so i have a question, multiple actually
1. why do colors break at d80 lines
2. is there any way to tell what level or your on?
3. why were there no pauses to change rng but you still got good peices?
4. why does the level counter break?
5. is the line counter a cheat code like the max out code?
6. why did the maxout cheat break?
7. isnt the hame supposed to break on level 150 or something, why doesnt it?
8. why did the level named “96” take more than 10 lines but everything else didnt?
1. the game fails to calculate the pointer to where the colors are stored because of and error in a mod 10 calculation, because of an overflow.
2. for the first 20(?) levels after 29 the level increases by 10 in hexadecimal.
3. RNG can be changed if the piece takes longer or shorter to lock on the stack.
4. the level display has an array where the decimal values are stored and it reads out of bounds. So there are no binary to decimal number conversions.
5. The score is programmed to stay at 999999 the linecouter isn't so it keeps on going into letters.
6. It should never break... I dont know why...
7. On NTSC the unmodified game crashes at ~1550 lines and PAL crashes at ~1950 the maxout code pushes the crash much later to ~Level 230 - 250 (I think) and PAL may run forever with the code
8. If you start a game in level 18 it should take 190 lines to go to level 19 but the game compares 13 Hex to 18 dec and concludes that 13 hex is larger than 18 dec and increments the level to early so the transision is at 130 lines this breaks even more with high level and line counts.
Would you be interested in making another video and providing some stats of what the AI is thinking? Id be interested in programming something to show the AI thinking along with this to help people understand why the AI is making these decisions.
This isn't an AI, this is me playing frame by frame and sometimes rewinding to change where I placed something or manipulate the RNG.
An AI could never do this without being able to rewind because sometimes you just don't get the pieces you need.
can you actually roll the line counter past the letter Z for lines? What would happen after that?
After Z99 it starts using different characters and eventually other textures in the game before rolling over to 000 at 25600 lines. See this video: czcams.com/video/W8GcxyLoUHE/video.html

These glitched colors are rad.

The game developers clearly did not test every level.
