KEY INFORMATION
Nintendo’s greatest characters team up with one of the most popular games of all time.
- Every mode in Tetris DS features a theme based on a famous Nintendo character.
- Up to 10 players can clash using DS Download Play to form a Tetris DS match of massive proportions, all with just one game card.
- Using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, up to four players can compete in wireless two- or four-player battles against friends or strangers, near or far.
Characters: Each game mode features a theme based on a famous Nintendo character or game.
How to progress through the game: The game has six game modes to choose from. Information will be released periodically about each mode.
Standard: This Mario-themed mode features the same addictive game play that made the original Tetris so wildly popular. Players guide falling Tetriminos (falling blocks) and form horizontal lines to clear them away. Mario runs around Super Mario Bros. levels in the background.
Touch: This unique take on Tetris really shows off the touch-screen capability of Nintendo DS. Players use a stylus to drag and move Tetriminos in a giant stack to make them fall into horizontal lines. In early levels, they can tap Tetriminos to spin them just the way they need them. Players have as much time as they need to carefully plan their moves, so it plays very differently from the other frantic modes.
