In Marathon (called A-TYPE), when the number of lines cleared is greater than or equal to 10 times the current level, add 1 to the current level. When the player chooses a high starting level, sometimes the levels start changing sooner; what makes this happen is as of yet unclear.
- Start at level 8, advance to level 9 at 90 lines (normal behavior).
- Start at level 12, advance to level 13 at 100 lines (odd behavior).
