Discover essential Tetris 99 cheats and helpful hints in Part 5 of our guide. Learn about harder games, secret endings, and gameplay tips for Tetris on Game Boy.
This section of the guide focuses on various tips and cheats for Tetris, primarily referencing the Game Boy version, which can be applied to enhance gameplay in Tetris 99.
Tips for Traveling
- Batteries: Always bring more batteries than you think you'll need to avoid running out of power at a crucial moment.
- Overpasses/Tunnels: Be aware of your surroundings when playing in a moving vehicle. Shadows from overpasses or passing through tunnels can momentarily obscure your vision of the screen, potentially causing you to miss lines. Ask the driver or a passenger to warn you a few seconds before these occur so you can pause.
- Headphones: Use headphones to block out distracting noises from others, which can help you maintain focus and avoid losing a game. This also conserves batteries compared to playing with loud speakers.
Cheats for Tetris (Game Boy):
- Harder Game: At the title screen, hold DOWN and press START. This will add a heart icon next to the level, indicating the game will run much faster.
- Helpful Hint: Create dedicated columns on the left side of the playfield for specific block types (e.g., one for blocks, one for L-shapes). Use these blocks in the center only when needed.
- No Preview: To disable the display of the next upcoming piece, pause the game by pressing START at any point. While paused, press SELECT. When the game resumes, the preview box will be empty. Repeat this process to re-enable the preview.
- Secret Ending: In Tetris mode B, achieve a score of 25 lines on level 9 with an initial height set to 5. This will unlock a special ending with new music and an animation featuring Russian dancers and musicians on the title screen.
