Yeah, you kinda have to plan and play differently compared to solo Endurance Tetris for sure. I'm still working on learning to do T-Spin setups myself for this reason haha.

It's kinda funny when I see someone playing Tetris at an ok level but he's trying T spin setups. Clearly isn't from the game boy era

Do you unlock anything for getting 3 stars in all the missions in Adventure mode? I'm having trouble getting 3 stars in a lot of the Puyo Puyo ones and I'd like to move past them but not if I'll miss out on something cool for getting a perfect rating.

I'm stuck on this same one. I feel like the key is to get really high scoring chains early before they can make themselves lose, on but I'm not good enough to make those chains yet

For anyone wondering, the timer in endless Tetris stops counting at 59.99.99 (one hour). I can go on forever so I'll probably lose on purpose soon. Score is still going up but it's not really worth the time. Shame Tetris has come to this but at least the game is more playable I guess. Only Tetris Company is to blame
Two separate five chains will do it if you want to put some hard numbers on that goal. An early full clear will help as well if RNGeesus cooperates.I'm stuck on this same one.

Would a Pro controller be worth it for this?

Is the right Tetris skin available in the PS4 version?
Are both versions 100% identical?

I think I've managed to pull off a 5 chain only once so far haha. I looked at the lessons and get the chaining setups conceptually. But I'm still having trouble setting them up in practice.
I think i read that one is exclusive for switch, but not sure.
i can't even pass the 150 line mark >.>For anyone wondering, the timer in endless Tetris stops counting at 59.99.99 (one hour). I can go on forever so I'll probably lose on purpose soon.

I love the controller but not for this - I think using the JoyCons with the included grip works even better. The d-pad on the pro controller is very sensitive and can register unintended fast drops & I have one friend who also gets fast drops by bumping the stick (but they just need to calm down while I'm whupping them at Tetris).

I haven't seen those skins in the shop. Can anyone confirm if they're secret unlocks?

Woah. How do you get that?

You're rolling the dice if you buy one and want to play Tetris, the quality control issues with the dpad mean you might accidentally hard drop all over the place

No clue, I'm waiting for my physical PS4 copy to arrive.
It seems to accept all configurations, yeah.
Not really secrets but they're from the extra, post-credits adventure mode chapters.
There's tons of skins, backgrounds, and BGM unlocked through the extra story chapters, which are unlocked when you beat the whole main story. I think the game boy skin is somewhere in chapter 9.

Hoooolly shit, lost my entire evening to this last night on the switch. What a fantastic game and it's amazing how much I'm getting destroyed online.
And everytime I'm about to win....disconnect.
Regardless, just an amazing game on the switch as a portable though. Really happy with the purchase

My Pro works fine (didn't realize people were having issues?), but I prefer using the joycons for this game. Joycon dpad is actually perfect for this game.

So I am in the 3rd chapter of adventure mode and I can't get by the Puyo Puyo chances with the preset scenarios, where doing a chain eliminates all and then you get a new scenario. Any tips?
Yes, for sure on the Sonic ones. I don't think the monochrome skin is platform specific but I only have the Switch version.
So, what are the game's biggest flaws/issues?
I really like what I've played so far, but there's some substantial complaints:
1) Only a single online rating, regardless of game mode.
2) No Quick Drop in Puyo Puyo mode, but you do get it in both Tetris and Fusion? It really seems awkward.
3) Pretty egregious easy spin in Tetris?
4) Easy Spin + relatively slow max speed makes high-end solo Tetris relatively easy?

Do you still get the win?
Quick drop isn't a standard feature in the Tsu ruleset. You can enable it, but it's designed to keep the pace of the game more about building combos and keeping you aware of what your opponent is up to. Other Puyo modes have it as well, but Tsu versus never has.
It's there, but you can blame TTC for that. Seems to be a bit improved from Tetris Party/Axis, but it's been ages since I've played that. No infinite spin either.
Thanks to the current Tetris Guidelines, solo modes are really more of an afterthought. The 7 bag randomizer and preview windows actually make infinite Marathon possible, so the focus is more on quicker time attacks and versus.

I really wish this game had a classic tetris game mode. Just a survive as long as you can it gets faster as you play traditional tetris mode.
Damn, them are some good answers. Thanks! I haven't stayed up to date with the history of either series since the 90s, so it is good to know the lineage of rules and modes.

In Solo Arcade, go to the bottom right icon (Challenge?), then go to Marathon. Before it starts, there's a screen where you can change some options and change it to Endless instead of 150 lines. This might be what you're looking for.
The Tetris comments are definitely valid criticism though - as the game's evolved into a more refined experience it's shifted the focus far from survival to the point where Tetris on the Gameboy is basically a completely different game. The Tetris guidelines keep the old modes in the current games, but it'd serve the solo audience a little better if they introduced a true "classic" mode which brings back the original rotation system and randomizer, alongside the modern enhancements.
But that's just my $0.02, anyway. I still love modern Tetris, just for different reasons.

Yes. In fact, the screenshot you're using is from a video showcasing the PS4 version in 2015. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vylPFjD3JRo&t=8m1s

No problem, and agreed! Don't neglect puyo though, it's fun to learn and incredibly satisfying to do well in.
I love the pro controller in this game, I dont have the issues others seem to have. but the joycons work great too So it's not a necessity

I can't wrap my ahead around Puyo and trying to get the 3 stars in the campaign. Either I'm always over on time, or I beat the computer before getting a high enough score.
3 Starring the Puyo matches is all about quick chaining. Even doing something as basic as a 5 chain 3-1 ladder nets enough points or sends enough garbage to keep you ahead of the game.

Did you pass it yet? I'm stuck on that one too now lol.
Side note, I just learned you could hold Tetris blocks. Never knew that.

God, i am awful at Tetris.
I can't even beat 1-5.
I can't even beat 1-5.
I thought infinite spin is still in? Well for single player at least. For multiplayer you can spin all you want but the garbage eventually comes and forces a piece in place.
On paper I should be disappointed...but considering how long games could go before I can't say I really mind the shift to timed/line modes. Endless became more about relaxing mindless time filling at a certain point for me I think, which has its own charm I guess considering I still do it now and then.
All that said I'd be down for TGM ruleset and player progression type DLC but I doubt TTC or Arika would want that.

Is there any PS4 Pro improvements like 4K resolution?
Not that it's really important for this game, just wondering as I plan to go with Switch digital version.
