Heboris: Unofficial Expansion, abbreviated as Heboris U.E., is a modification to Heboris, a game orignally created by Kenji Hosimoto with YaneuraoGameScript 2000. It adds new modes inspired by the games in Arika's TGM series and various rotation systems.
History
The development of Heboris by Hosimoto has been halted since 2002. However, due to the source code of Heboris, which was based on YGS2K, being highly accessible, the game became the target of modifications by anonymous third parties mainly in the 2ch community. The game underwent various modifications, including implementing similar features from later games such as Tetris The Grand Master 3 Terror-Instinct, Tetris The Grand Master Ace, Tetris DS and DTET. The modified version is known in western communities as Heboris Unofficial Expansion. A second modified version, Heboris U.E. LITE, exists and focuses on lighter system requirements. A third modified version, Heboris U.E. MINI, also exists and features a plugin system to add or remove functionality from the game.
Gameplay
Heboris Unofficial Expansion uses gameplay mechanics from the TGM series as well as Guideline-based games. The player can choose between 9 defined rulesets, each replicating that of a particular TGM / Guideline game.

Modes
As of C7V4EX YGS2K+ (FINAL), Heboris Unofficial Expansion contains the following modes:
Beginner
- TAMAYA – The player must clear lines to shoot as many fireworks as possible within 200 levels, using the Hanabi scoring system in TGM3's Easy mode.
- SCORE – Based on Normal mode in TGM2, the player must clear lines to score as many points as possible within 300 levels.
Master
Using the mechanics from the TGM series, the player must obtain the highest grade possible within 999 levels. Four grade rulesets are available:
- G1 (Easy) – uses the score-based Grade Recognition System from Tetris The Grand Master, but the score requirements have been adjusted to accommodate back-to-back bonuses.
- G2 (Normal) – uses the Grade Recognition System from TGM2, except each internal grade increase will change the displayed grade, and the grade count has been expanded to that from TGM3.
- G3 (Normal) – same as G2, but only uses the original grades from TGM2.
- G4 (Hard) – uses the expanded Grade Recognition System from TGM3, but with minor differences. Promotional Exams can also be triggered by pressing Hold twice then keeping the button pressed while pressing Start. The grade given at a Promotional Exam is selected at random.
In addition, the player can also turn on ITEM, BIG, and HEBO+ modes by holding the corresponding buttons while pressing Start.
20G
Same as Master mode, but with 20G gravity throughout the round.
Devil
A much harder variant of Master mode. Two rulesets are available:
- DOOM – replicates Shirase mode from TGM3.
- MINUS – replicates T.A. Death mode from TGM2.
In addition, DEATH+ can also be turned on, which limits the player to 1 piece preview and no Hold, as well as ITEM and BIG modes.
Tomoyo
Based on TGM3's Sakura mode, the player must clear all gem blocks in the playfield within a time limit. Tomoyo mode is named as such after Tomoyo Daidouji, who is Sakura Kinomoto's friend in the Cardcaptor Sakura franchise.
The player can choose between 4 stage sets: TI, E-HEART, ACE-TARGET, and F-POINT, as well as creating custom maps in EDIT.
Ace
Based on TGM ACE's main mode, the player must clear 15 or 20 levels, each with a 10-line goal. Each level section must be completed in 90 seconds or less. Two variants, Ace-Another and Ace-Hell, are also available.
Old Style
Accessible by highlighting Ace in the mode selection screen and moving right after Ace-Hell, the player can access one of two special modes which use mechanics from older Tetris games. The mode presented is based on the rotation system of the player's selected ruleset:
- ARS-based – Tetris (Sega)
- SRS-based – Tetris (Game Boy)
Simple
This contains several Guideline-based modes:
- 40LINES – Clear 40 lines as fast as possible.
- ULTRA – Clear as many lines as possible within 2 minutes.
- MARATHON – Variable-goal mode. Clear 15 levels to complete the stage.
- SQUARE – Based on Tetris Worlds' Square mode. Same completion requirements as MARATHON.
- ROTATION RELAY – Play 40LINES or ULTRA while cycling through all of the available rotation systems. Topping out will add a penalty to the player's total time.
Vs.
2-player versus mode, with options for items, garbage types, styles (NORMAL, ATTACK, DEFENSE; ITEM), etc.
Garbage types include the following:
- Move Erased – Sent garbage mimics the shape the user used to clear the lines.
- Copy Bottom – Sent garbage mimics the opponent's bottom-most row.
- Hebo+ – Sent garbage used the fixed pattern in the TGM+ mode of TGM2.
- DS Random – Standard Guideline garbage system.
Items appear as a tetromino in which a player can place onto the field. In order for an item to appear in the preview, a player has to place 20 tetrominoes onto the field (roughly enough for eight lines). Therefore, the speed of the player determines how fast the player will acquire an item. To activate an item's effect, a player has to clear one or more rows in which the item tetromino occupies. Holding an item tetromino will turn it into a regular tetromino; unlike standard multiplayer with items in Tetris DS, the tetromino that then comes out of the hold box does not turn into an item tetromino.
