He’s multitasking with his right, rotating the tetrominoes with his ring and pinky finger while also moving the piece with his right thumb, in concert with his left. As he points out, players are entirely at the mercy of the random number generator, and some very fortunate drops at the end of Level 27 almost zeroed out his whole board.Īlso, watch Saelee’s hands. Elite Tetris players, for whatever reason, have not gone past Level 30 before, much less reached Level 33. But the game has run out of levels to count, and it also cannot speed up the tetrominoes any more. Technically, Level 29 is not a kill screen because the game is still playable past that point. That is effectively Level 33, upland territory where no one has gone before. He’s playing on Level 18 difficulty, which means he starts the game at that speed but must still clear 130 lines before advancing to Level 19, and so forth.Īfter Level 29 (240 lines cleared) the game begins glitching - the level counter shows him at “Level 00,” then “Level 0A,” then Level 14, and finally “Level 1E” with 270 lines cleared. Despite the titles popularity, its DAS mechanics were not well-understood until player Kitaru analyzed its internal memory values. Lock delay, wall kick, and hard drop are not present. The rotation system used in this game is a right-handed Nintendo Rotation System. 15, the Tetris savant who accomplished it made it past what is considered the game’s kill screen.įor the record, that’s Joseph Saelee ( via Reddit’s r/videos), also the record holder for fastest to 300,000 points, and co-record holder for fastest time to reach 100 lines. The Nintendo Entertainment System is specified to run at 60.0988 frames per second. Not only was a new level reached in Tetris for the NES back on Feb. But given this is a world record that concerns a game celebrating its 30th anniversary, it still seems timely to me.
Saelee the very best for what’ll undoubtedly evolve into an inspiring career.Forgive us, we missed this when it happened two months ago.
TETRIS NES PATCH
TetrisGYM is distributed in the form of a BPS patch and can be applied to the USA version of the game with Rom PatcherJS or similar. While originally based on the NTSC version of the game, the patched ROM supports PAL and NTSC gameplay types. Look at those 8-bit integers go!īeing accomplished at such a young age, this brilliant performance proves the timelessness of Nintendo’s most classic games. TetrisGYM is a modification of NES Tetris. For your convenience, we’ve provided an appropriate time stamp leading right up to Saelee’s triumph. At only 16 years old, not only did he dethrone seven-time champion Jonas Neubauer as Classic Tetris Champion, but made the impossible possible by defeating Level 29 and, in a glorious 53-second rush - reaching Level 33. We’ll leave the technical details to Simon Laroche, but needless to say, only the most passionate, committed Tetris players can pull it off.Įnter Joseph Saelee. However, in recent years certain expert Tetris players have begun utilizing “hyper-tapping,” an intensive input maneuver manipulating block movement with no speed loss at the cost of ten button presses per second. For those not familiar with this version, Level 29 has long been designated as a “kill screen”, as thanks to NES limitations, gradual line-up speed would prove too fast for both player and game. Thought The Legend of Zelda‘s newly-discovered Minus World was cool? Well, okay, that’s probably a bigger find than this, but this NES Tetris achievement was only possible through one mega-fan’s hard-earned dedication.
