*ARE: No
The game uses the graphical style from the 1988 arcade game, but incorporates standard [[Tetris Guideline|Guideline]] rules. Thus, several changes have been made to the gameplay interface:
*DAS: 1G
* [[Tetromino|Tetrominoes]] now follow the standardized coloring scheme of modern games and spawn two rows higher.
*You can toggle the [[infinity]]. When turned off, it uses classic ''step reset'' behavior instead of modern ''move reset''.
* The [[Piece preview|piece preview]] window has been expanded to display 3 pieces, and a [[Hold]] window has been added at the left side of the preview window.
*This game has "[[Lock delay]] cancel using down key" feature, like the [[Tetris DS]]. Touch the ground by using soft-drop key, then push the sort-drop key again to lock the Tetromino instantly.
* The score and progress text has been moved to the bottom left of the [[playfield]], and the playfield's background is transparent.
*Screen layout is similar to [[Tetris The Grand Master 3 Terror-Instinct|TGM3]] and [[Tetris The Grand Master Ace|TGMA]].
*You can change the settings of buttons. You can even set to "NO ASSIGN". [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkmBYjfPXjk]
*Modes:
**MARATHON: Standard Tetris mode. Level advances by clearing every 10 lines. Game ends after clearing 150 lines.
**40LINE: Well-known 40 lines time attack mode.
**ULTRA: 3 minutes mode.
**EXTRA: Endless mode for expert players. After the gravity reaches 20G, the lock delay becomes shorter and shorter. Level advances by clearing every 4 lines.


The game recognizes T-Spins even when they don't clear lines.
The screen layout is similar to ''[[Tetris The Grand Master 3 Terror-Instinct|TGM3]]'' and ''[[Tetris The Grand Master Ace|TGMA]]''.


Also, the game recognises back to back, but doesn't distinguish between tetrises and t-spins. so if you get 1 t-spin double and 1 tetris, it counts as a back to back.  Yes, this means ST stacking is the way to go.
Unlike many later games, the reset behavior can be toggled between [[infinity|infinite move reset]] and step reset.

Gameplay

The game uses the graphical style from the 1988 arcade game, but incorporates standard Guideline rules. Thus, several changes have been made to the gameplay interface:

  • The piece preview window has been expanded to display 3 pieces, and a Hold window has been added at the left side of the preview window.
  • The score and progress text has been moved to the bottom left of the playfield, and the playfield's background is transparent.

The screen layout is similar to TGM3 and TGMA.

Unlike many later games, the reset behavior can be toggled between infinite move reset and step reset.
