Credit
King_O's movie (TASVideos user file 57083880743858201), played in FCEUX 2.6.6 (scripts/build-fceux.sh) on yoshis-cookie-nes-rom; it syncs to the credits.
Notes
Scratch scripts replay the movie (SHA-1 f40565aba6486cb4f0e7027bcb9b2eda61e7ac97) from power-on with the movie's own RAM setting and read RAM every frame: each stage's first board, frame of play, and frame of clearing; each shift's board before and after; each clear's modes and frames. FCEUX alone is not the atlas's T4 emulator; values that rest only on this source stay below T4.

On the first stages of Round 1, a shift slides the cursor's row or column one cell, wrapping around. A row or column that is all one kind then clears, the rows above drop, the columns to its right close up, and any line that forms clears in turn. The stage ends when the board is empty.each shift's board before and afterVerified
With the menu's default settings, the first new cookies for Round 1 Stage 1 are drawn after 226 frames of play from the board's setup, counted as the batch timer counts them; a stage cleared sooner leaves the generator where the setup left it.every write to the incoming row and every generator step, per stageVerified
The timer to the next batch of cookies counts down one per frame of play, and six more on the first frame of play after a shift, so a shift costs its seven frames. It stands still while lines clear, and the shift that empties the board is never charged its six.each clear's modes and framesVerified
A board that holds a single cookie of some kind and no cookie of kind 5 (tile $1A, which counts as any kind) can't be emptied by shifts, since every line that clears is two or more cookies of one kind. Only incoming cookies can rescue it.each stage's first board, and the stages where a batch came inCode
