S and Z cascade
From Hard Drop Tetris Wiki
In games with recursive gravity that reward for cascade complexity, such as Tetris Worlds, Tetris Mania, and Tetris Evolution, a simple way to rack up a Big Ol Cascade is by using the S or Z tetrominoes.
Tetris Worlds allowed for up to nine cascades before clearing the last levels, so players would fit an extra one in.
The S and Z tetrominoes can be interchanged. Although the amount of lines cleared will be equal to when only S tetrominoes or when only Z tetrominoes are used, the number of cascading line clears will decrease by the amount of alternations between the S and Z.
