NES Tetris: Score the most points while clearing only triples [PPMDC]
Score Track	https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=267459
Rules	I don't know if this is the best time or the worst time to issue an NES Tetris challenge, but we're gonna go for it. While the top pros are currently stacking four-bars on their way to "Rebirth", this challenge aims to twist the game by requiring "triples only". In other words, all line-clears must come exactly three at a time. I feel like this should be self-explanatory, but in case elaboration is necessary, any line clears are allowed if and only if they clear exactly three lines with a single piece. Usually this will be done by dropping an "L" piece into a well with a notch, but this can also be done by dropping a four-bar into a Tetris well where a missing block results in three line clears instead of four. You do you. Be creative! Your run is considered over whenever you top out, or whenever you clear a single line, or a double, or a four-line Tetris, or when your game otherwise malfunctions. Your final score will be whatever score you had in the immediate moment before any disallowed line clear. (This will not include drop points from the piece completing the disallowed line clear, but will include drop points for any previous pieces.) Similarly, your final line total will be whatever line total you had immediately before any disallowed line clear or death. Obviously the game mode must be "A-TYPE" and single player. You may start on any level the original game allows, from 0 up to and including level 19. For this reason, two separate bounty pages have been opened - one for highest score (favoring higher level starts) and one for most lines cleared (favoring early level starts). Note that, for prizing purposes, any approved submission to either the "highest score" or "most lines" bounties will be counted as valid for both challenges. Even if you appear to be leading on one page, your high mark may be eclipsed by a valid submission on the other thread. This bounty posting is for highest triples-only score. For the "most triples-only lines" entry, see the TG bounties page: https://www.twingalaxies.com/bounty This challenge must be attempted on either original NES Tetris, or the "Tetris Gym" romhack approved by the Tetris community. (For competitive consistency, other Tetris releases are not allowed for this challenge.) Either console or emulation is allowed. RNG manipulation is ALLOWED. If you can manipulate your way to a massive triples-only score, I want to see it! That said, please don't feel like such advanced applications are required. I say this every time, but playing with swag strats (including added difficulty) is always encouraged. Other PPMDC bounty rules: - All performances must be recorded from start to finish, and must adhere to general TGSAP rules and community expectations, including those particular to the platform and emulation being used. Multiple attempts in the same recording are allowed. - The date of this achievement must be stated. It is requested, but not required, that submissions for this bounty be achieved on or after the date this bounty is posted. No proof is required for date of achievement, and submitted runs for this bounty will not be disqualified on that basis. (In other words, it's safe to vote on submissions that lack proof of date but appear otherwise genuine.) However, submitting old runs, or misrepresenting dates, may disqualify the submitter from recognition for this or future PPMDC bounties. - No major glitches aside from any specified in the bounty description. - Swag strats are encouraged, and will be featured in the eventual write-up.

Pac-Man: Perform the most ghost pass-throughs in a single game [PPMDC]
Score Track	https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=268058
Rules	In the early days of Pac-Man, there were legends that the player character can sometimes pass right through an opposing ghost. It turned out, the legends were true, but it was only possible through careful planning or sheer luck. We're not asking anyone to be that lucky today, but we do think there are players out there with the planning chops to devise patterns to pass through more ghosts than any player has ever done before. Obviously, this must be a single playthrough, with no continues or chained scores or any such nonsense. Your final score to enter will be however many ghost pass-throughs you achieve throughout your run. (Assuming you're using patterns, this should be easy enough to tally.) These will include only fully verifiable pass-throughs; briefly overlapping a ghost's visual sprite before one of the characters changes direction will not count, nor will ambiguous near-misses at intersections. We must see the sprites swap positions along a single pathway. This challenge can be attempted either using MAME or on original hardware. For this challenge, we will allow either the original speed setting or turbo setting, as well as the famous "jumper" modification (although that is the only "hardware modification" allowed). Whichever of those versions you think will net you the most ghost-ghostings, show your stuff! Just to preclude some joker submitting a zero-pass-through run, we'll say each valid run must contain at least two pass-throughs. This bounty posting is for original Pac-Man. For the entry for Ms. Pac-Man, see the TG bounties page: https://www.twingalaxies.com/bounty Other PPMDC bounty rules: - All performances must be recorded from start to finish, and must adhere to general TGSAP rules and community expectations, including those particular to the platform and emulation being used.

Any rules questions or further clarifications may be addressed in the comments below. Any conflicts that may arise between the as-written rules and these clarifications will be sorted out in the eventual write-up. - The date of this achievement must be stated. For full prizing recognition, the submission must be achieved on or after the date this bounty is posted. Proof of date is not required as part of submission evidence, and submitting an old run should not be considered a violation of TGSAP. (In other words, it's safe for folks to vote on PPMDC bounty submissions that lack proof of date but appear otherwise genuine.) However, under prizing rules, submitting old runs or misrepresenting dates may disqualify the submitter from recognition for this or future PPMDC bounties. - No major glitches aside from any specified in the bounty description. - Swag strats are encouraged, and will be featured in the eventual write-up.

Final Fantasy 5: Defeat Neo Exdeath under "Four Job Fiesta" rules without using any ability more than once [PPMDC]
Score Track	https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=268060
Rules	I know this description may be a mouthful, but it really is simple. Defeat the final boss of Final Fantasy 5 under "Four Job Fiesta" rules, and do so without using any special ability more than once. For those who don't know, "Four Job Fiesta" is a self-imposed FF5 challenge. In short, you must assign available job classes to your party members, while limiting yourself to secondary abilities from those assigned jobs. (You can mix-and-match, such as by giving your Bard the Chemist's !Mix ability and your Chemist the Bard's !Sing ability.) You can find more information on how Four Job Fiesta works here: https://www.fourjobfiesta.com/help.php https://perfectpacman.com/2024/06/11/fiesta/ [I ran out of character count for this bounty posting, so check the comments below for what "using an ability more than once" exactly means, and for any clarifying questions.] For this challenge, Freelancer and Mime are disallowed, as are the Advance remake jobs. You must choose from the pool of twenty jobs unlocked through the normal course of game play. Duplicate job selections are allowed. While Four Job Fiesta is a real event with official registration, it is not required that your submission for this challenge be tied to that event; you can choose whichever four jobs you believe will get the job done (har har). The score to enter for this challenge is the highest level among your party members as you enter the Exdeath tree form fight. For verification, you are required to show your menu screen prior to this fight (after entering the final floor with Exdeath). To be clear, if your party members' levels are 20, 30, 40, and 97, then your score is 97. Lowest is best. The challenge will be won by whoever can achieve this at the lowest starting level. Modifying your level after the fight begins using Chemist or Bard abilities does not affect this score. Any official version of FF5 is allowed, including Super Famicom (and RPGe translation), Playstation 1, Game Boy Advance, Pixel Remaster, and the obsolete Steam/Android/iOS version from Matrix. As a general rule, glitches allowed in the Four Job Fiesta event are allowed here. Using "Kiss of Blessing" on Exdeath tree form is disallowed, as it pre-empts the Neo Exdeath fight altogether. However, using such mixes (or Blue Magic spells, etc.) to bypass Neo Exdeath's normal boss immunities is allowed. Time Mage's "Quick Leak" strategy is also allowed. Again, if you have something wacky in mind, please do ask below before submitting, or use common sense. Other PPMDC bounty rules: - All performances must be recorded from start to finish, and must adhere to general TGSAP rules and community expectations, including those particular to the platform and emulation being used. Multiple attempts in the same recording are allowed. - Twin Galaxies does not allow edits to this bounty description.

Submission Message	Super Famicom version, with RPGe translation, played on Snes9x emulator. My "Fiesta" party consists of Knight, Mystic Knight, Bard, and Chemist. I applied Bard's !Sing ability to my Knight, Chemist's !Mix (aka "Combine") ability to my Mystic Knight, Knight's Equip Shields to my Bard, and Bard's Equip Harps to my Chemist. I ended up using a total of six special abilities in the fight, all during Exdeath's tree form:	Mix for Hasty-Ade (aka "Haste Drink")	Sing for Swift Song (aka "Speed Song")	Sing for Hero's Rime (aka "Hero Song")	Mix for Dragon Kiss	Spellblade for Break	Drink for Goliath Tonic (aka "Giant Drink")
