Minna de Tetris is another TOJ game released in Japan. This game has less limitations than previous TOJ. (except for reduction of single player modes)

• Currently the price is free.
• The default value of next pieces is 3.
• Uses regular 7 piece bag randomizer.
• An infinite number of hold function is available for each game.
• In single player game, only one mode is available for the day.
• Modes:
  • Time Attack: Regular 40-lines game.
  • Challenge: This mode has changed a lot. The time limit starts from 2 minutes. Passing each level will increase 30 seconds to the time limit. Thus, it is possible to play for ten minutes or more. Also, there is no "level timer" for each level.
  • Marathon: Standard Tetris mode with 15 levels.
  • Training: The name has changed from "VS COM" mode, and it has weaker enemies. The opponents uses 6 previews and different sequence of pieces, but it is easy to win because opponents are much slower. As expected, there is no level 13.
  • Minna de asobu: The name has changed from "Multi" mode. There are 4 selectable classes: "Slow", "Normal", "Fast", and "Master". In "Slow" class, you can't use hold and hard drop, and there is only one piece preview. In "Normal" class, there is no special rules. In "Fast" class, the speed level starts from 10. In "Master" class, the gravity is fixed at 20G.
  • (Practice): It is not a real game mode, but it is still available in "Minna de asobu" mode. Regardless of class, the speed level starts from 1.
• This game is the first officially licensed Tetris game that does not use variant of Roger Dean's Tetris logo.
