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:
- Get to level 500 within 3:25.00; this will require a sustained rate of at least 105 tetrominoes per minute.
- 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:
| Level | ARE (frames) |
DAS delay (frames) |
Lock delay (frames) |
Line clear delay (frames) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 000 - 099 | 15 | 12 | 30 | 8 |
| 100 - 199 | 14 | 12 | 26 | 0 |
| 200 - 299 | 14 | 11 | 22 | 0 |
| 300 - 399 | 8 | 10 | 18 | 6 |
| 400 - 999 | 7 | 8 | 15 | 5 |
