[TAS] Pac-Man Championship Edition (NES/Famicon Ver.) - All Achievements% in

Hey all, after two days, I've made my first TAS ever and this version of the game's first TAS too! I wanted to do this so people can see what they need to do in order to get the Pac-Man Arrangement/Pac-Mania skin which gets unlocked from getting all of the in-game achievements. To use the skin I went with in extra mode, just simply holding right before starting the round. I don't plan on doing a high score TAS unless there's a demand for it. I made it for fun so just enjoy it! :)
TAS Information:
Emulator used: FCEUX v2.2.3
Modifications to the rom itself: Edited some graphics to appear more closer to their arcade counterparts and used Ghost eye restoration patch so it's not really valid.

After like a year or so, I've decided that I'm gonna redo this because 1, it's not optimized. 2, the video's not rendered in 60fps which the game runs at (which is why the graphics for the countdown numbers and the ready set go look weird) and the colors aren't accurate to what the NES would display. 3, I used a personal, edited rom which changed the graphics for Pac-Man, the ghosts, and the Fruits. Lastly 4, I'm not very proud of this considering this barely counts for TAS until the faster movement kicks in and the fact that timing is not even remotely close to what it should be. Will update this comment to have the new one whenever I finish it.

You should be able to get 500,000 points easily with a TAS, but you can't do it chasing ghosts around the screen. That takes too much time, which means you can't get through as many fruits and dots and power pellets.
With a TAS it may be possible to keep your power pellet combo going the entire game, so every ghost will be 3200 points. That's worth 8 ghosts at 400 points, so you can afford to keep eating dots as fast as you can instead of wasting time on low-point ghosts.
The only time you should stray far from the dot pattern to eat ghosts is when there are a lot of power pellets nearby - but in this run you didn't even get the 6 pellets at one time, you used 3 and then later got the 3 on the other side. If you use all 6 power pellets for 24 ghosts at 3200 points each, that's 76,800 points.

I got this game on Switch 2 days ago, but I'm familiar with the gameplay because I used to play the version on Xbox 360 years ago. I was playing just now and got 496,000. It would have been over 500,000 if I had used my last second to eat the nearby fruit, so hopefully I'll be able to get 500,000 soon if I manage to have another good game.
So it would be awesome to see what kind of score you can get with a TAS. Is 600,000 possible? Maybe!
I recommend looking at a few old videos of high score runs from the Xbox 360 version, maybe that would help. But it probably won't translate exactly to the NES version. I think the power pellets last longer in this version, so maybe it's possible to get a higher score on this version than on the original game.

[@SFants]

@@customsongmaker Thanks for the suggestions! I'll definitely try to see what I can get and how much more I can optimize the improvement run whenever I start work on it.

Ohh Man. This Pac-Man game it's beyond amazing. I've recently acquired the Rom. It's just simply a Master Piece. I don't know but ..... Maybe this would be, the best Pac-Man ever created? I think so. So, i don't know.

[@nicksansouci]

I second this.

[@callinater6133]

I wouldn’t say so.

Glad there’s a TAS for this. Such an infinitely charming demake

[@ShaunMoore]

Like Classic Kong is.

[@CycLottsArt]

Just imagine if this game was released in the 80's
Holy shit

[@customsongmaker]

It was released 15 years ago on Xbox 360 and apparently a lot of people didn't even notice. They think it's a new game.

[@ShaunMoore]

The sound effects & musics in the Demake Version sounds a whole lot better.
