If you cannot complete a line, the blocks will
eventually rise to the top of the play field and the
game will end.
GAME LEVELS
As you advance to each level, the speed at which
the Tetraminos drop will increase. Tetris® will
automatically advance to the next game level each
time the player clears ten lines.
SCORING
During game play, the total Line Count will appear
in the Score/Line Count indicator at the top right
hand corner of the screen. When you complete a
line or multiple lines, the Score/Line Count indicator
will show your total score, for two seconds. It will
then return to your total Line Count.
Points are awarded for clearing each completed line
of Tetraminos as follows, multiplied by the current
level.
Single: 10 points: One line is cleared.
Double: 30 points: Two lines are cleared at the
same time.
Triple: 50 points: Three lines are cleared at the
same time.

by dashes in front of the score.
It’s been called “one of the most addicting games
ever,” and now you can join the obsession! Rotate
the Tetraminos as they fall and try to complete a full
line of blocks. But watch out with each new level,
the Tetraminos fall faster and faster. Good luck!

the Score and Line Count indicator at the end of the

In Tetris®, you must arrange a sequence of small
shapes, called Tetraminos, into complete lines. As
each line is completed, it will disappear from the
screen.

Right and Left Directional Button. There are nine
game levels, each increasing in difficulty. The game
level icon is located in the top left hand corner of

Tetraminos fall from the top of the play field to the
bottom.
Each Tetramino is made up of four blocks, arranged
into seven different patterns.
When you have selected the desired game mode
and game level, press the Start button to begin
your game.
You must rotate the Tetraminos as they fall and fit
together to create lines.
