'''''Tetris The Grand Master''''' is the first arcade game in [[Arika]]'s [[TGM series]].<br />
U3ClgB Might Be The Best Ever Yet<br />
<br />
== Level ==<br />
Level has a unique implementation in TGM. The level counter will increase by 1 for every piece that enters the well. It will also increase by 1 for each line cleared. The game ends once level 999 is reached.<br />
<br />
When you are about to increment the hundreds digit (eg. at level 399), only line clears will count towards your level. Level 998 is treated similarly, with a final line clear required to reach 999 and finish.<br />
<br />
== Speed Timings==<br />
[[drop|Gravity]] does not increase uniformly, unlike many other tetris games. It rises and falls, depending on the level as shown in the table below. The player can force constant 20G, by entering a [[Tetris_The_Grand_Master#Codes|code]] before starting the game, though this will exclude their play from the highscore list. <br />
<br />
The unit for [[gravity]] is [[Glossary#G|G]] (rows per frame), as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic fraction with a constant denominator] of 256. This means '''G = Internal Gravity/256'''. For example, at levels 90 through 99, the gravity is 64/256G, or 1/4G.<br />

Unlike [[TGM2]], the [[Line_clear#delay|line clear delay]], [[lock delay]], [[ARE]] and [[DAS]] do not change throughout the game.<br />

*DAS is inclusive of both the initial shift and the autoshift frames.<br />
*The player's DAS charge is unmodified during line clear delay, three frames of "lock flash" that occur after lock delay expires, and one frame of level-increment delay right before the next piece spawns.<br />
<br />
== Scoring ==<br />
TGM shares the same scoring gimmicks of many other Tetris games, though they are not quite implemented the same way:<br />
:*You receive more points for clearing more lines at once.<br />
:*Lines are worth more with each passing level. (The nature of "level" in TGM, however, means the amount of points a line is worth is constantly changing, and especially in the 0-99 section, it is to the player's advantage to stack high before clearing lines.)<br />
:*You receive points for forcing a piece down. (Though only when this results in cleared lines, unlike in several other games.)<br />
<br />
There are a few scoring gimmicks unique to TGM:<br />
*You receive a [[combo]] bonus for clearing lines with consecutive pieces.<br />
*You receive a bravo bonus for clearing the entire screen.<br />
<br />
Incidentally, for all players good enough to attain the rank of S9 score becomes irrelevant and the focus changes to a time attack rather than a score attack. Nevertheless, here is a more technical description of the scoring formula:<br />
<br />
'''Score = ((Level + Lines)/4 + Soft) x Lines x Combo x Bravo'''<br />
<br />
Where:<br />
*Level is the current level you are on.<br />
*Lines is the number of lines you just cleared.<br />
*(Level + Lines)/4 is rounded up.<br />
*Soft is the cummulative number frames during which Down was held during the piece's active time. Note that this means manually locking pieces already on the ground will increase the Soft value by 1.<br />
*Locking a piece without clearing lines sets Combo to 1. Otherwise, the game updates Combo as follows before calculating Score:<br />
*:'''Combo = (previous Combo value) + (2 x Lines) - 2'''<br />
*:Example: A double-triple-single combo will have combo values 3, 7, and 7 respectively.<br />
*Bravo is equal to 4 if this piece has cleared the screen, and otherwise is 1.<br />
<br />
== Grading ==<br />
In TGM1 grade is entirely determined by score. As you pass certain milestones, TGM will assign you the next grade:<br />
