Question

What are some ways to get rid of 'garbage'?

Community Answer

Clear one line at a time. If you've already built multiple lines over the garbage, then try to clear them, even if it means you won't get a Tetris or a T-spin. This is called "burning." You have to burn your way back down to the line that has the garbage so you can remove it.

Question

How do I get a Tetris Plus?

Community Answer

You must have played Tetris Blitz or other versions with "gravity," which split the tetriminos (big blocks) into minos (small ones). In real Tetris, the best you can get is just the simple "Tetris." The tiles do not fall, even after split up.

Question

Do you think it will help me improve if I take out the ghost piece option?

Community Answer

No, because you'll just miss the pieces when you try to drop them. The ghosts are there for a reason: they speed you up like crazy because they make it much easier to see where the pieces are going to land. Tetris isn't about carefully placing pieces -- you should be placing them as fast as possible to avoid garbage. Besides, they exist in almost every game mode, so it's better to get used to them.

Question

How do I stop missing the holes when I go fast when playing Tetris?

Community Answer

If you can't keep up, you should go slower. If it's because you're on a difficult level, you will just have to keep practicing until you get better.

How do I get victory royale in Tetris?

Get first place. It's called a Tetris Maximus, not a victory royale.

Question

Can you explain more about Tetris Friends modes?

Dihydrogen

Community Answer

Battle 2P is against one other person, Battle 6P is against 5. Sprint times you for 40 lines, Sprint 5P times you against 4 other people. Marathon is just to level 15, Survival is to level 20 and beyond. 1989 is basically like the original. Arena is real time against 1 - 5 other people. Ultra is for the highest score in 2 minutes. N-Blox is 2007/8 Tetris, and Rally 8P is a different offshoot of Tetris.

Question

What are all of the tricks in Tetris?

Neko.

Community Answer

There are many tricks in Tetris, too many to explain in a single answer. I'd encourage you to find an article explaining every trick, but some of the best known would be a T-Spin, Tetris, Double, Triple, and Clear Bonus (pretty simple, you have to clear all tiles to leave the board as it was when you started.)
