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.

T.A. Death

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: Death-Gm05 and 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
(frames) 		DAS
(frames) 		Lock
(frames) 		Line clear
(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
