How can it choose 83 lines?

[@RespectTAS]

I used a Game Genie code to modify the lines needed to clear B-Type. The line counter uses hexadecimal. It's also treated a signed integer for calculations. Anything higher 127 in a signed 8-bit integer goes into the negatives. So, 81 lines has an instant win condition for clearing a single line, 82 lines has an instant win condition for clearing a single or a double, and 83 lines has an instant win condition for clearing a single, a double, or a triple. Anything higher is always an instant win condition.

Can you somehow re-modify the game so it bypasses its limits? My anwser: I don't think so.
