== Game modes ==
[[Image:NullpoModeSelect.png‎|thumb|right|200px|Mode select screen]]
As of version 7.5.0, NullpoMino contains the following modes:


=Game Modes=
=== Standard ===
* ''[[Marathon]]'' – Fixed-goal mode. The player can choose between 150 Lines, 200 Lines, or Endless, where the level stops at 20.
* ''Marathon+'' – Based on [[Tetris Friends]]' ''Survival'' mode. Fixed-goal (200 Lines) mode with a steeper gravity curve and an Endless semi-invisible round after reaching Level 21.
* ''Extreme'' – [[20G]] Marathon mode with DAS, lock, line, and spawn delays decreasing per level. Endless can be toggled on. With Endless set to off, clearing 200 lines will initiate a credit roll where points can still be scored during that time.
* ''Technician'' – Variable-goal Marathon mode. Five difficulties are available:
** ''LV15-EASY'' – Standard speed curve. Bonus points are given in the first 2 minutes of each level.
** ''LV15-HARD'' – The game ends when the 2-minute level timer runs out.
** ''10MIN-EASY'' – Based on [[Tetris Zone]]'s ''Challenge'' mode, the player must complete as many levels as possible within 10 minutes. The goal counter resets when the 2-minute level timer runs out.
** ''10MIN-HARD'' – Same as 10MIN-EASY, but the game ends when the 2-minute level timer runs out.
** ''SPECIAL'' – Same as LV15-HARD, but a time bonus of 30 seconds is added for each level completed.


All of the game modes with "Mania" in their names are based directly on TGM modes, except for the two added by Zircean: Retro Mania simulates [[Tetris (Sega) | Sega Arcade Tetris]], while Phantom Mania takes the Death speed curve and makes it invisible.
=== Race ===
* ''Line Race'' – [[40 lines|Sprint]] mode. 20-, 40-, and 100-Line sub-modes are available; gravity, [[DAS]], [[ARE]], and [[Line clear|line clear delay]] can be customized before starting the game.
* ''Score Race'' – Same as Line Race, but the player must reach a score goal as fast as possible. 10000, 25000, and 30000 Points sub-modes are available.
* ''Dig Race'' – The player must clear garbage lines and dig to the bottom of the playfield in the fastest time possible. Garbage height can be selected between 5, 10, or 18 lines.
* ''Combo Race'' – Using a center 4-wide column setup, the player must make the highest combo possible. 20, 40, and 100 Lines sub-modes are available, as well as Endless, which ends the game on a combo break.
* ''[[Ultra]]'' – The player must obtain as many points as possible in a limited amount of time. The time limit can be set from 1 to 5 minutes.
