When you reach level 29 in the NES version of Tetris, the falling speed increases sharply, making it extremely difficult to control. For many years, level 29 was considered the upper limit, but in the 2010s and 2020s, high-speed rapid-fire techniques such as 'tapping' and 'rolling' became popular and many players broke through to level 30. Then, in January 2024, a player manually reached the 'kill screen,' where the game was forcibly terminated due to processing slowdown.

Some NES Tetris record challengers have attempted further records using a 'modified version of Tetris' that allows players to avoid the kill screen and continue playing the game. dogplayingtetris also attempted the record using a modified version of Tetris, and during a live broadcast on October 6, 2024, he achieved the feat of 'breaking through the true upper limit and entering the second round.' An archive of the live broadcast can be viewed in the embedded video below.

I reached level 29 with no problems.

At

56 minutes and 50 seconds , they reached the wicked level 235. Level 235 is a difficult level because the Tetriminos fall at a super high speed, and the color scheme makes it hard to see the Tetriminos, and you can't move on to the next level unless you clear 810 lines.

After breaking through level 235, dogplayingtetris continued to concentrate and reached the true upper limit of level 255.

Then, 1 hour, 21 minutes and 25 seconds into the video, we entered the second week.

In the second world, your falling speed has been reset, giving you time to slowly hydrate.

After that, he continued playing and eventually reached level 91. dogplayingtetris finished the game with a satisfied look on his face,

saying 'GG (Good Game)'.

In addition, the second week of the NES version of Tetris is called 'Rebirth'. dogplayingtetris shared his joy and gratitude for achieving Rebirth on Instagram.
