'''Tetris The Absolute The Grand Master 2''' is the second arcade game in [[Arika]]'s [[TGM series]]. Shortly after it was released [[Arika]] offered a free upgrade to a PLUS version, which among other things introduced the popular T.A. Death mode. The game is often abrieviated "TAP" (The Absolute Plus).

Tetrominoes always drop at 20G. A video called ''Death 800'' has floated around the Internet under the name ''Tetris Japan Finals''. It is a video of a player reaching level 809 on death mode. This video is very popular and has been responsible for introducing many western players to the game and [[Arika]] tetris in general. [[Arika]] currently hosts 2 videos of finished Death Gm games: [http://www.arikaonline.com/download/movie/Death-Gm05.mpg Death-Gm05] and [http://www.arikaonline.com/download/movie/tgm2master.mpg tgm2master].
 
==== Ranking ====
The TGM1/Master ranking system is absent from the screen although both M and Gm grades are achievable. Level 500 is the turning point:
*If you reach 500 with a time greater than 3:25:00 the timer will stop, the credits will roll and you are given an "Excellent!" but no grade. (the level 500 background is not shown)
*If under 3:25:00 at 500 the M grade is achieved and the game will continue to 999.
Gm is awarded at 999 regardless of time or score. The game does continue through the credits, but winning or losing at that point has no effect.
 
 
==== Timings ====
TAP runs at 60fps and all timing is done in frame counts. As soon as the game enters 20g (immediately in the case of death mode) the following 4 values define every aspect of flow and speed. The timings for death mode are as follows:
{|
! Level
! [[ARE]]<br>(frames)
! [[DAS]]<br>(frames)
! [[Drop|Lock]]<br>(frames)
! [[Line clear]]<br>(frames)
|-
| 000 - 099 || 15 || 12 || 30 || 8
|-
| 100 - 199 || 14 || 12 || 26 || 0
|-
| 200 - 299 || 14 || 11 || 22 || 0
|-
| 300 - 399 ||  8 || 10 || 18 || 6
|-
| 400 - 999 ||  7 ||  8 || 15 || 5
|}
