Gameplay

See also: Hatris series gameplay overview

The Famicom version of Hatris was released two years earlier than the NES version. There are a number of differences between the two versions of the game. The Famicom version does not feature a bonus for scoring a "hatris" (clearing sets with both hats in a pair). It also does not feature the Helpers introduced in the NES version. (Conversely, the NES version does not feature the Sale screen.)

Hat Types

Name	Score	First Level
Derby	50	00
Mountaineering Hat	80	00
Cowboy Hat	120	00
Top Hat	150	00
Wizard Hat	200	01
Crown	300	02

Sale

Instead of the Helper system, the Famicom version of Hatris had a Sale screen at the end of each stage similar to the one found in various other Hatris games. Selecting a hat type at the Sale screen removes all of that hat type from the screen. Unlike the arcade version, there is no additional scoring bonus associated with strategic use of the Sale system to form and clear hat stacks sized greater than five.
