Players rotate, move, and drop the familiar tetrominoes to complete horizontal lines and prevent the stack from reaching the top. Its defining feature is the Square system: arranging matching pieces into 4x4 formations creates silver or gold squares for bonus scoring, so efficient stacking matters as much as simple line clears. The game offers single-player endurance and score-focused modes, plus up to four-player split-screen competition, with speed increasing as levels rise.

If you want higher scores, do not focus only on fast line clears; leave room to build Square formations whenever possible. Keep the field flat in the early game and avoid unnecessary holes, since messy stacking makes square construction much harder. Save long I pieces for emergencies or Tetrises, and in multiplayer, adjust your risk level depending on whether you are leading or trying to catch up.
