2005 Version

The version of this game with a "copyright 2005" on its package still doesn't have Super Rotation. Gravity has no lock delay. It must have been grandfathered as a non-Guideline game.

A "sound" button allows switching among silence, music (a monophonic ringtone arrangement of "Korobeiniki) without sound effects, and sound effects without music. A "pause" button allows switching between the game and a scrolling "PAUSED" screen.

The version with a "copyright 2008" has the same features as the 2012 Tetris Illuminated Mega Screen. It features 3 game modes: "Marathon" (classic Tetris), "Speed" and "Ultra".

Another variant with a "copyright 2011" and a slightly different box exists, which appears to be identical.

2010 Version

This section needs expansion. You can help TetrisWiki by expanding it.

The version with a "copyright 2010" on its package looks identical to the 2008 version, but adds one more game mode, "Digg". It also increases the number of levels from 10 to 15.
