'''Tetris The Absolute The Grand Master 2''' is the second arcade game in [[Arika]]'s [[TGM series]]. It is the first to introduce ''death mode,'' a faster variant of [[Drop#Gravity|20G]] mode.

Tetrominoes always drop at 20G. To become a "death master", the player must meet two goals:
#Get to level 500 within 3:25.00; this will require a sustained rate of at least 105 tetrominoes per minute.
#Get to level 1000.

  1. Get to level 500 within 3:25.00; this will require a sustained rate of at least 105 tetrominoes per minute.
  2. Get to level 1000.
