Absolutely amazing set! Mastered. Would recommend to any Tetris fan.
namae3 6 Oct 2023 12:56
This is a new favorite tetris game - it controls great.
sauroncete 8 Apr 2024 22:56
It would be great if someone adds the original music hack to this set 😁
julienktl 28 Apr 2024 22:03
How to disable the next piece option ?
mariteaux 28 Apr 2024 22:09
I believe you press Select while you're in-game, but it's been a bit since I played.
julienktl 28 Apr 2024 22:18
Yes that’s it but you have to press select each round.
mariteaux 28 Apr 2024 22:19
Indeed you do.
sandro4912 1 Jun 2024 08:11
Mastered. Thanks for the set. Again a nice Tetris set which teaches you new things even if you already did other ones. (Like the T spin).

I agree a few chevos are a bit look based but this version of Tetris let you restart fast (unlike the ugly Tengen version on nes).

I think everything here is better than the original game boy Tetris except the music. The music is horrible compared to that one...
julienktl 1 Jun 2024 08:45
I have a romhack with the Theme A from Tetris GB and replace theme A of DX but I prefer GB Theme B and DX Theme A. XD
qunas 30 Jun 2024 17:00
First master. Beaten entirely on an Android
Venona 8 Jul 2024 03:37
Mastered in 4 years lol
Tolstoj 1 Oct 2024 13:54
Ok, this one was a bit of a challenge!
RetroDave82 12 Nov 2024 09:51
I can't get the perfect-clear :(
Tolstoj 12 Nov 2024 10:05
Well, that was a tuff nut to crack. Since the RNG in DX is not 7-bag yet, a lot of it relies on luck. The tip that helped me most, was, if you don't get it right away, just restart the game. build super-flat and keep all the pieces in their horizontal orientations. You'll get it eventually. It took me several hours.
Sniwott 22 Nov 2024 05:06
Mastery #27! Easy set minus creating half of the Tetris Grandmaster secret grade build, that took LOTS of good rng. Feels like this set is a bit overscored too...
Mekorio 31 Jan 2025 00:07
7th mastered game! Really fun game, feels more modern than NES and GB versions. Good challenges, but that total 2500 lines one was kinda boring cause I did this one last
shainsaw 3 Feb 2025 12:24
I have gotten 40 lines in Ultra 3 different times now on two different devices and was not awarded that achievement.
Pedorrito 20 Mar 2025 01:24
My 1st master, and probably the most fun and easy for tetris noobs like me
Tigerpow 21 Apr 2025 04:54
Mastered! Took just over 3.5 hours for me, and the quality of this GBC tetris game is way better than I expected compared to the original gameboy tetris. Overall this achievement set was very fun, with my only gripe being the "Take It Back" achievement, in which it took me 10 minutes of tinkering with emulator settings until I realized that I just had to pick a gamemode and play with the emulator emulating the gameboy hardware instead of gameboy color.

There was only one achievement that really boiled down to having good luck, being the all-clear in marathon mode, but you can just start the mode, then pause with start and then press select to start another run.

Doing the half secret grade, "Not Quite a Grandmaster" achievement, I know some people have had a lot of trouble with that. Realistically, it just takes a lot of practice. There are plenty of tutorials online, and you need to get roughly 2/3rds of the way up the screen, which is a lot more doable compared to a full secret grade in other games, in which you need to stack to the very top.

Anyways, I am done rambling now. 10/10 would play regularly, great game.
mariteaux 21 Apr 2025 12:53
Big agree. This version is still a certified hood classic. I think this and Tetris Party for the DS are all the Tetris I'll ever need.
