Tetris Advance is an authentic Tetris game published only in Japan.

Details

• ARE is roughly half a second.
• Hold piece allows switching during ARE, similar to IHS of TGM3.
• All tetrominoes enter 1 block to the right of where they would ordinarily enter in SRS.
• Rotation of J, L, and T matches SRS, but S and Z are different (imagine TGM rotation with separate left and right states). Rotation of I tetromino is buggy, with several wall kicks missing.
• DAS is slow.
• Gravity maxes out at what appears to be 1G, even once the expert player approaches 400 lines and becomes bored with the lack of the raw speed.
• Line clear has no additional delay.
• Endless and 2 minute modes are present.
• Options are present: disable ghost piece, disable hold, disable wall kick, disable infinity, set preview size (1 or 6)
• Playfield graphics strongly resemble those of the subsequent Tetris DS.
• Music at level 5 resembles that of a Starman in Super Mario Bros. and Tetris DS.
