Unnamed mode (Holiday/Survival)

This unnamed mode features similar objective as marathon, but has different goal system and different T-Spin detection methods. Level advances by clearing every 10 lines. After you beat 20th level, you'll enter the "Bonus Level". The bonus level is semi-invisible challenge, and the game continues until you top out. T-Spin with wall kick is allowed in this mode. This means T-Spin Triple is possible.

This mode can be played without a Facebook account. However it comes with different graphics and sounds.

This mode has no name, but by exploring the web browser's cache directory, you can find the internal name of this mode. Facebook version is "Holiday" and non-Facebook version is "Survival".
