I still cannot believe it... first ever to get Rebirth! I'm so happy about finally getting this after all of the attempts. Thanks to everyone for the support...
Some guy played to level 255 and it rolled back to level 0, (that’s the rebirth). Then he played to level 91 after that. To answer an unasked but important question: he did it on a ROM and not a cartridge because it’s pretty damn likely a cartridge would have crashed long before this point. Even on this particular ROM there are a bunch of ways to crash it (there’s loads of them documented).
Did he use an original NES controller with the ROM or a modern controller? I know I have a hard time getting the 40 year old controllers to respond fast enough at higher levels, though I haven’t tried the bump control method.
What does that mean?
He completed the karmic cycle of Samsara and has been reborn.
He prestiged Tetris?

As a drunk language model I do not have that information.
Watching the earlier levels I can hear the thumps on the controller indicating he is doing a bump/rolling control method.
That’s awesome. Thank you so much.
