S and Z starts often require a player to later use a slide, which may slow him down. A player may avoid the need to slide by manipulating the S and Z differently. He can do this while still only clearing tetrises.

The game deals the player the dreaded S and Z tetrominoes to start things off.

The player then platforms a tetris over them, making sure not to stack over underlying gaps.
