In the stream, he mentions it being tetris gym. And the options screen confirms it. Tetris gym is accepted by the community as faithful in all the ways that matter for being allowed to be used for records. The main thing it patches out are the crashes.
EDIT: The “kill screen” in NES Tetris is just the game getting too fast for most people to keep up. Then there’s some bugs that can crash the game in later levels, but Tetris Gym fixes these bugs. So you “just” have to be good enough to play Tetris for long enough at insane speeds.
