I think it would be best if you only accepted scores for B mode on the screen after dying, and not like on the screen above. Theres no way to know these scores were actually scored on height 5 mode because you can just play LVL 9 height 0, set a high score and it would show up on the same screen with no difference then if you did it on height 5.
I know the contests are on the honor system anyway so it shouldnt matter as any score is basically taken on its word regardless.
I'm also not saying you should invalidate any scores posted like this, or implying there was any wrong-doing. Just felt like it was importnat and over-looked.
 


Good point made by Herbalist, which is something I over looked.  I'm not going to invalidate any scores prior to this since it was over looked and brought up this late into the contest, but any Type B scores submitted from now on will have to have proof that it was played on Level 9, Height 5.  Pictures on the screen above, or, the screen where you enter your intials for a high score, will no longer be accepted.  Your pictures should now be taken on the death screen (right when you lose when the screen fills up with lines), or if you beat Mode B, on the screen where you see all the Nintendo characters playing the musical instruments.



I would say death screen because the instrument screen doesn't tell you anything unless you're quick before the score tallies up. Just add 5,000 points to your death screen score.

The puzzle games seem to bring all the great players out of the wood work. Some real impressive scores. And I thought I was pretty good at Tetris. Pffft.....

I pulled another all nighter trying to beat type b. I played from like 2pm to 6am. Decided to go to bed when I realized the sun was rising from his sleep.

This was pretty awesome.  I had about 400k transition score (when it turns to 19 "pro speed") and got this high.  My only regret was that if I would have had one of my good transition scores starting at 9, 15 or 18 this could have been a 900k!

ok B type.  ugh Dishes are dirty.  Wife is going to be PISSED.

Someone needs to post the animated gif of MJ eating popcorn. Anyway,the screen shot for the type B score has to be on the death screen now or else it does not count.

FYI the instruments do matter. Depending how many characters are playing instruments at the end shows what height has been played on. When you have all characters playing shows that height is 5. The level shows 9 on the final screen as in most shots, so pics of the instrument screen and the after screen with the scoreboard would help alleviate some of those issues.

Then you called your mother and felt better?

Almost as impressive as the best Tetris player I ever saw, this chubby girl I used to work with years ago.  She was incredible.  I never saw anyone play like that before, total mindlock with the system.  You guys are lucky I'm not her, and so am I because of the chubby part.

That is some mad skill. No way I'm getting even close to that score. That was a trip to watch. How you are able to put the blocks where you want them despite the speed at which they fall was very entertaining.

Using the code doesn't reset the scores.  It just resets the game and nothing else.  Surely you would know this if you were using the code as much as you claim.  Your 70,000+ score on Mode B was done first try.  I'm going to need some further proof of your score, like a video of it, otherwise it won't count.
