Tetris The Absolute The Grand Master 2

Tetris The Absolute The Grand Master 2 is the second arcade game in Arika's TGM series. Shortly after it was released Arika offered a free upgrade to a PLUS version, which among other things introduced the popular death mode, a faster variant of 20G mode.

Death Mode
Tetrominoes always drop at 20G. To become a "death master", the player must meet two goals:
 * 1) Get to level 500 within 3:25.00; this will require a sustained rate of at least 105 tetrominoes per minute.
 * 2) Get to level 999.

A video called Death 800 has floated around the Internet under the name Tetris Japan Finals. It is a video of a player reaching level 809 on death mode. Some other TGM2 death videos show the player winning.

Timings
The timings for death mode are as follows:
