The greatest game of NES Tetris ever played. At least, for now.
This game demolishes both the score and lines world records, and it's the first ever game to get glitched colors in NTSC Tetris.
What's next? Well, only time will tell, I guess...

FAQ:
Question: What is the "2BE266" in the top corner?
Answer: This was played during a same piece sets match against Huffulufugus in CTM, and that is my seed.
Question: Since this is a set seed game, does it count for the record?
Answer: Yes. There isn't any real basis to challenging it, unless it could somehow be proven that I memorized the seed (I did not) or had external assistance when it came to knowing the pieces in the seed (I did not)
Question: Why is the game capture so sharp? Did you switch to emulator?
Answer: I am playing on a MiSTer FPGA console. In simple terms, it's basically a RetroUSB AVS or Analogue NT. It behaves exactly like an original console in every way, besides outputting clean RGB and HDMI video.
Question: Why do the level numbers not glitch out?
Answer: This was played on TetrisGYM v5. This version fixes the level counter to use three digits, and readds the glitched colors, as they were fixed in earlier versions of TetrisGYM.
Question: Why does the handcam quality steadily decrease?
Answer: As I was playing this game, the sun went down. I didn't expect this game to go on for so long, so I didn't turn on any lights. If you look at the raw video, the handcam gets steadily darker, and I compensated for this by applying a brightness filter in my video editing software, so the handcam is at least somewhat visible here.
Question: Where can I find the awesome tournament and music in this video?
Answer: https://ctm.gg for the tournament, Flexstyle for the music
