man, the small delay after a hard drop is messing with me.
TeddyWestside 5 Jan 2022 14:52
Do you have the challenge indicator on/trigger flag showing in the corner? I can take another look at the achievement to see if I can find an issue. As to the delay, yeah, they're super generous with allowing you to rotate after your tetronimo is down. Even with hard drops.
Erodion 5 Jan 2022 14:57
It says at the start "Could not activate achievement 190373 "Ultra Instinct": Invalid condition type"
TeddyWestside 5 Jan 2022 15:05
Oh, it's the only achievement in the list that uses the "ResetNextIf" flag, that explains it. For it to work, your Retroarch version needs to be 1.9.3 or greater I think. Here's further reading on it: https://docs.retroachievements.org/FAQ/#why-do-i-get-a-message-that-some-achievements-are-unsupported
Erodion 5 Jan 2022 22:11
Ok, thanks. I thought retroarch updated when you update the cores or something.
MrDynamite 8 Jan 2022 11:30
What about the 7 Wonders Achievements? Are they still coming or would it take too long because of the game itself? :)
TeddyWestside 28 Jan 2022 05:04
The problem with the Parallel core should be fixed now. So you're able to use whichever you prefer. The Wonders achievements are up for debate. I can't "trick" the memory in this game to increase line clears - I had to play through. I got a couple of the Wonders unlocked and it just seems to be bitflags. The problem isn't in making them, it's more: is it reasonable to ask a player to play hundreds of hours of Tetris in order to master the game?
MrDynamite 29 Jan 2022 10:16
@TeddyWests In fact, I had once unlocked all the Wonders. But my memory crashed at some point, by a hint "You have unlocked a Secret Cheat". I had reset the game more often because I thought I could cheese something like that but the game killed my savegame. Nevertheless, thank you very much for the answer to my question :) I deliberately waited to see if the Wonders achievements would come, because I think that from Mayan to Celtic are brought relatively quickly. From Africa it takes a lot longer. Japan and Russia are going to be fierce!

Mastered! That was a fun set.
AaronTruitt 4 Sep 2022 13:37
Fun set! This was the most played multiplayer Tetris in my household... The four player mode was really fun. I ended up speedrunning several categories of this game in 2020. The achievements were pretty easy, but I enjoyed coming back to this game.
JaclynLauren 16 Jan 2023 01:55
Weird that there isn't a 7 wonders achievement. It's essentially how you "beat the game"
Sutarion 29 Aug 2023 11:44
All cheat codes are in all caps, so HALUCI and AI2EZ4U? Have an uppercase i in them, not a lower case L.
Beulu79 7 Sep 2023 17:12
Not the best Tetris I've played... Didn't find how to play Ultra mode...
xcommander 15 Sep 2023 09:54
@Beulu79: Choose one player, select your name, press A and you can then choose the game mode (marathon is default) and the difficulty of your opponent.
horrorqueen7 4 Mar 2024 22:53
Does anyone have any hints on how to get better at Sprint mode? I can only get at most ~45, no idea how to get the cheevo for 250!
BeepPerson 4 May 2024 22:33
@horroqueen7 Make as many multi/monosquares (the grey and gold cubes) as you can asap. If I got a bunch of Z/S blocks I'd just restart until I had some decent starting pieces.

Other than that, stay focused and be lucky :')
WillCookie 12 May 2024 18:56
piece rng really sucks sometimes
xcommander 13 May 2024 18:55
Piece RNG is actually designed to help you build squares. For a comprehensive list on how to build squares, see: https://tetris.wiki/Square_Tetris
goldanthro 15 Jun 2024 10:00
is there a reason this game in particular runs like shit on switch lakka? all the other n64 games i play are fine.
xcommander 17 Jun 2024 23:04
This game tends to be laggy on all the platforms, so it's not on your end.
