Nes Tetris: level 256 in  

Wow epic gamer moment

It seems Joseph really upped his game.

"I finally made it to level 0 on NES Tetris" "Isn't that the first level?" "The other level 0"

The last level being pure red is the most fitting thing ive ever seen

the last level being red is some creepypasta shit, absolutely love it

23:52 Look at the LINES counter

35:13 Christmas World 35:36 B&W World 35:48 Greenland 1:07:34 Blue World followed by Purple World
 1:07:55 Pure Blood World - freaking beautiful and fitting for the true FINAL level of Tetris

Normal People: Post-transition levels take 10 lines to complete Level 96: exists

Somewhere in heaven, Jonas is watching this.

7:49 level 29 29:17 the weird colors begin 35:32 nice 45:06 the start of that level that takes way too many lines (level 96) 1:01:01 the end of level 96 1:08:01 X60 lines reached, level loops back to 0

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

Final statistics: T 1243, J 1200, Z 1078, O 1114, S 1150, L 1212, I 1413

31:10 is actually a really pretty color scheme. Wouldn’t mind it replacing the 7 one Same thing with 32:44. That would’ve been 1,000,000 times better than the level 6 color scheme

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.

1:08:00 He got to level 0. This is called the rebirth screen.

41:35 The Return of Kill screen

26:30 When tetris is locked behind a paywall

29:16 Fun Tetris begins 39:47 Fun Tetris ends 41:46 Fun Tetris returns

Joseph will do this in the next year

I love the hard flex by screwing up the well and only using the top third of the screen in the beginning.

Jeezus, how long did it take you to make this? A one-hour TAS must've been excruciating. Great job!

I really like how after a certain point the color pallettes go out of range and generate new ones, I kind of wish that it normally did that (albeit, with some limitations to not get all solid colors or black)

42:01 my favorite color scheme

Can’t wait for CTWC to start taking a week long while Joseph and other players are just playing past level 255 and Joseph takes up his entire qualifiers getting to level 200+ in one round

You have the utmost respect and admiration of all Tetris players!

Killscreen play with no burning, no pausing, no DLR stalling.. amazing patience it must have taken to do luck manipulation and have it look so natural. What's the furthest back you had to ever rewind the piece sequences to get out of snafus while recording this?

1:02:38 noice tetris music sync

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

29:16 "What?!" -Davie504

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

I never thought I had that level of anxiety in me, well played sir!

Nice movie, one of the best I've ever watched, got really emotional at the very end

45:18 *Cows have entered the chat*

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?

0:01 Start 2:18 first 100k - 076 lines 4:51 fist 500k - 176 lines 6:45 hexadecimal score counter (1m score) 252 lines 7:49 final speed increase (1.4m score) 292 lines 8:02 glitched level counter (level 29+) 8:17 -hundred thousand conter loops back to a (6m score) 312 lines 21:58 line counter -hundred turns hexadecimal (1k lines) 29:19 glitched colours (1480 lines /D80) 30:50 random hard to see level (1560 lines) 31:17 even darker level (1580 lines) 33:59 random hard to see level (1720 lines) 35:33 even darker level (1800 lines) 43:20 random hard to see level (2200 lines) 43:40 even darker level (2220 lines) 45:07 very long level (2290 lines) 1:01:02 end of long level (3100 lines) 1:02:20 random hard to see level (3160 lines) 1:03:46 even darker level (3240 lines) 1:08:01 REBIRTH (3460 lines)

Wow! Glad joseph is posting again

14:35 windows sound

Nice TAS! 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

On one hand, it feels silly to be watching this all the way through. It's just Tetris, and yet I find myself so enamored in it's gameplay in a way I can't even comprehend.

That tas dude he is so good in literally anything get his hands on when he is going to do a face reveal?

Rare footage of Chuck Norris' first time playing tetris.

45:48 epic t-spin

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 :) also windows sound at 15:35 (I use linux btw)

45:08 the start of the 810 line level and ends at 1:01:04 (Level 96 to 85)

@ 2:32 that was very satisfying to watch

I can't imagine playing a little over an HOUR of Tetris like that. My brain would melt lol

You know you are a legend when your point total beings with A.

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.

You know it’s real when the level number starts showing hexadecimal alphabet

Hello, really nice job you did there. Did you script this on a planned game (t first, z second, I third....) or a random game ?

자기 전에 이 영상을 보면 정말 잠이 잘 와요

I really like the weird colours past kill screen

0:04 what a great start for TAS when the I blok speens

810 lines to transition from level 96 to level 85. Makes sense.

1:03:45 black blocks on a black screen... yikes! 😨

When you find out TAS is just a gaming chair company and these videos are just the employees testing the chairs out

44:53 look at the level counter

I can't believe we are actually thinking about doing this. After all this time, we are genuinely thinking about this being humanly viable

7:48 Killscreen 29:16 Glitch colors 32:40 "Game crash level" 45:06 810 Line Level 1:01:01 810 Line Level complete 1:07:56 Level 255 1:08:00 Rebirth

Hi, De Martian. This is unbelievable. I am completely amazed at the work done. But I have a question: why does the bot collect tetrises on the video, and when I run it on the emulator, it does not collect tetrises?

max out at level zero, damn that's insane

Calm down Alex T

This is hypnotic

The blood red colors at the end feels like it should be in a creepypasta

4 years later a human beat this game. Insane.

This would make for a great screen saver!

I find it quite fortuitous that boys haircut and the game have about the same release date. Tetris gods were waiting for the hair style to re emerge to crown it’s only victor

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.

This is SICK

29:14 Love how after Level 137 the game has a stroke with the palette colors (Level 139 Mettaton EX colors wtf)

Something tells me that this is gonna be Cheez in a couple of years

49:12 Lines O00

14:33 i got hella confused

The first 8 levels, when he intentionally kept the hole blocked up reminds me a person who is bored with life so they procrastinate on purpose for an added bit of challenge. 😂

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.

These glitched colors are rad.

30:21 -Christmas world

There truly is a TAS for every game that exists.

I'm here for the music 😊

Can you do a TAS for Popeye from NES that finishes after completing Level 256? That's far longer than Tetris to finish.

epic video!👍

1:08:03: Game Over

Plot spoiler: Last level is red, exactly same colour as the old Russia (CCCP) flag.

fun fact: if you put this in 2x speed, you can see he almost hard dropping (not on tetris or other line clears)

The line counter tell what level it's on. So if it was 458 you delete the 8 to show that it's level 45. Ignore M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, and T because at Level 219 you need 810 lines to move on. That is U00 and now you can say it's level 200.

35:51 if Atari did Tetris

That ending with the Russian Palace blasting off was fitting

Lines: G-## Me: He even broke the very definition of hex code!

32:54 beautiful sequence of perfect times beats

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)

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?

1:07:56 The Red Zone. The final challenge

Now this is a true Tetris pro.

Insane.

1:08:00 that is the "rebirth" where its suppost to display 256 (100000000) but sience its 8 bit it reads it as "00000000" witch is the same as 0, so that is how it works

summoning salt failed to consider this TAS dude

IMPRESSIVE!!!!
