Tetris: New Century is a Tetris Guideline compatible game. Can be obtained in the Japanese PS2 game Sega Ages 2500 Series Vol.28 Tetris Collection.

Gameplay Info

  • ARE: No
  • DAS: 1G
  • You can toggle the infinity. When turned off, it uses classic step reset behavior instead of modern move reset.
  • This game has "Lock delay cancel using down key" feature, like the Tetris DS. Touch the ground by using soft-drop key, then push the sort-drop key again to lock the Tetromino instantly.
  • Screen layout is similar to TGM3 and TGMA.
  • You can change the settings of buttons. You can even set to "NO ASSIGN". [1]
  • Modes:
    • MARATHON: Standard Tetris mode. Level advances by clearing every 10 lines. Game ends after clearing 150 lines.
    • 40LINE: Well-known 40 lines time attack mode.
    • ULTRA: 3 minutes mode.
    • EXTRA: Endless mode for expert players. After the gravity reaches 20G, the lock delay becomes shorter and shorter. Level advances by clearing every 4 lines.

The game recognizes T-Spins even when they don't clear lines.

Also, the game recognises back to back, but doesn't distinguish between tetrises and t-spins. so if you get 1 t-spin double and 1 tetris, it counts as a back to back. Yes, this means ST stacking is the way to go.
