'''Tetris Online (Japan)''' was an official online Tetris game for Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista, which was closed on July 1, 2011. | |||
''' | == Gameplay == | ||
*[[ARE]], [[IRS]] and [[IHS]] are not present. | |||
*The [[Random Generator]] is used for piece distribution. | |||
*Line clear delay is minimal to non-existent depending on the upgrade level. | |||
=== T-spins === | |||
*[[T-spin]] recognition is 3-corner T. | |||
*A T-spin Single that uses a rule below is known as a "T-spin Mini" and is less powerful than a normal T-spin Single in both [[#Challenge|single player]] and [[#T-spins 2|multiplayer]]. A T-spin Double/Triple with a kick is still counted as a T-spin Double/Triple. | |||
The rule for t-spin minis (the cell must be occupied to be mini): | |||
{{pfstart}} | |||
{{width3row| |t| |}} | |||
{{width3row|t|t|t|}} | |||
{{width3row| |i| |}} | |||
{{pfend}} | |||
This is different from Guideline, in which only 1 cell be occupied to be mini: | |||
{{pfstart}} | |||
{{width3row|z|t|z|}} | |||
{{width3row|t|t|t|}} | |||
{{width3row| | | |}} | |||
{{pfend}} | |||
=== Back To Back === | |||
*A Tetris or T-spin line clear is considered Back to Back (B2B/BtB) if the previous line clear was either a Tetris or T-spin. | |||
=== REN === | |||
*REN is the Japanese term for a combo. | |||
*Each consecutive line clear increases REN by 1 regardless of the type of line clear (Doubles/Triples/Tetrises only add 1 to the counter). | |||
*The REN counter is displayed for REN 1 or higher. The first line clear can be thought of as REN 0, and thus is not displayed. | |||
== Single Player == | |||
Single player is only available to Premium users. It consists of the following four modes: | |||
=== Time Attack === | |||
A time attack mode in which the aim is to clear 40 lines as fast as possible, often referred to as ''Sprint'' or ''40 lines''. | |||
=== Challenge === | |||
The aim of Challenge is to maximize your score before the timer runs out. | |||
*Players begin the game at Level 1 with 2 minutes of time available. | |||
*There are 30 levels in total. | |||
*To clear a level, the player must bring the goal down to 0. | |||
*The goal of each level is equal to 5 times the level. | |||
*Completion of each level adds 30 seconds to the timer. | |||
*Overclearing does not affect the goal of the next level. | |||

Unlike other Tetris Guideline games, the | *Above table only includes lines sent from REN. | ||
*Any REN above 11 will continue to send 5 additional lines each. | |||
==== Perfect clear ==== | |||
Perfect clear sends extra 6 lines of garbage to all. | |||
==== KO ==== | |||
KO sends few (1,2 or 3) of extra to-all garbage lines too. Number of lines send depends on number of players in room and number of KO player got in the game. | |||
*Unlike normal garbage, to-all garbage is never used for garbage canceling. | |||
---- | |||
=== Garbage Distribution === | |||
*In a free for all match, a target cursor that randomly switches between players determines to whom your lines are sent. | |||
*Unlike other Tetris Guideline games (eg. Tetris DS, Tetris Splash, and Tetris Friends Live), the garbage holes do not line up or change randomly. Each line clear sends garbage to a single random column. | |||

Tetris Online (Japan) was an official online Tetris game for Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista, which was closed on July 1, 2011.
Gameplay
- ARE, IRS and IHS are not present.
- The Random Generator is used for piece distribution.
- Line clear delay is minimal to non-existent depending on the upgrade level.
T-spins
- T-spin recognition is 3-corner T.
- A T-spin Single that uses a rule below is known as a "T-spin Mini" and is less powerful than a normal T-spin Single in both single player and multiplayer. A T-spin Double/Triple with a kick is still counted as a T-spin Double/Triple.
The rule for t-spin minis (the cell must be occupied to be mini):
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
This is different from Guideline, in which only 1 cell be occupied to be mini:
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Back To Back
- A Tetris or T-spin line clear is considered Back to Back (B2B/BtB) if the previous line clear was either a Tetris or T-spin.
REN
- REN is the Japanese term for a combo.
- Each consecutive line clear increases REN by 1 regardless of the type of line clear (Doubles/Triples/Tetrises only add 1 to the counter).
- The REN counter is displayed for REN 1 or higher. The first line clear can be thought of as REN 0, and thus is not displayed.
Single Player
Single player is only available to Premium users. It consists of the following four modes:
Time Attack
A time attack mode in which the aim is to clear 40 lines as fast as possible, often referred to as Sprint or 40 lines.
Challenge
The aim of Challenge is to maximize your score before the timer runs out.
- Players begin the game at Level 1 with 2 minutes of time available.
- There are 30 levels in total.
- To clear a level, the player must bring the goal down to 0.
- The goal of each level is equal to 5 times the level.
- Completion of each level adds 30 seconds to the timer.
- Overclearing does not affect the goal of the next level.
Line Clear | Goal Reduction |
---|---|
Single | 1 |
Double | 3 |
Triple | 5 |
Tetris | 8 |
Tetris (B2B) | 12 |
T-spin Mini | 6 |
T-spin Mini (B2B) | 9 |

T-spin Double | 12 |
T-spin Double (B2B) | 18 |
T-spin Triple | 16 |
T-spin Triple (B2B) | 24 |
Perfect clear | 24 |
- A B2B line clear reduces the goal by 1.5 times more than its normal counterpart.
- REN reduces the goal by floor(ren# / 2) (but not more than 10)
Marathon
The aim is to maximize your score before the game ends.
- There are 20 levels in total, the goal of each level is 10 lines.
- Line clears carry over to the next level.
- Line clears reduce the goal by the amount of lines cleared.

Perfect clear
Perfect clear sends extra 6 lines of garbage to all.
KO
KO sends few (1,2 or 3) of extra to-all garbage lines too. Number of lines send depends on number of players in room and number of KO player got in the game.
- Unlike normal garbage, to-all garbage is never used for garbage canceling.
Garbage Distribution
- In a free for all match, a target cursor that randomly switches between players determines to whom your lines are sent.
- Unlike other Tetris Guideline games (eg. Tetris DS, Tetris Splash, and Tetris Friends Live), the garbage holes do not line up or change randomly. Each line clear sends garbage to a single random column.
Possible garbage fields
1. Tetris, Tetris (B2B)
|
2. Single, Triple, Single, Tetris, T-spin Single (REN 4)

Upgrades
All upgrades start at level 0 except for piece previews which starts at level 2. 5 Upgrades are available:
- Next piece previews - each level gives you (level + 1) piece previews
- Sensitivity - each level will increase DAS speed
- Soft drop speed - each level increases soft drop speed
- Line clear delay - each level reduces line clear delay
- Lock delay - This has very little effect in 0G gameplay. Lock delay upgrades will increase the amount of time before the piece will lock after it touches the floor.
It is recommended to upgrade sensitivity first, then soft drop speed if you use many T-spins and finally, line clear delay or previews depending on personal preference.
Level | Cost in TP |
---|---|
