Tetris Advance is an authentic Tetris game published only in Japan.

Details

  • ARE is roughly half a second.
  • Hold piece allows switching during ARE, similar to IHS of TGM3.
  • All tetrominoes enter 1 block to the right of where they would ordinarily enter in SRS.
  • Rotation of J, L, and T matches SRS, but S and Z are different (imagine TGM rotation with separate left and right states). Rotation of I tetromino is buggy.
  • DAS is slow.
  • Gravity maxes out at what appears to be 1G, even once the expert player approaches 400 lines and becomes bored with the lack of the raw speed.
  • Line clear has no additional delay.
  • Endless and 2 minute modes are present.
  • Options are present: disable ghost piece, disable hold, disable SRS, disable infinity, set preview size (1 or 6)
  • Playfield graphics strongly resemble those of the subsequent Tetris DS.
  • Music at level 5 resembles that of a Starman in Super Mario Bros. and Tetris DS.
