Tetris Worlds is a puzzle game that challenges players to clear lines of falling blocks. The goal is to fit the blocks together to form horizontal lines, which disappear and earn points. As the game progresses, new shapes and obstacles are introduced, requiring players to think strategically about their moves.
The gameplay involves rotating, moving, and clearing lines of blocks, with the objective of achieving a high score. The twist in Tetris Worlds is that each player's progress is linked, so when a player clears a line, it appears on other players' screens, adding an element of competition to the game.
Tetris Worlds was released for the PlayStation 2 on November 24, 2000, and features four-player multiplayer mode, making it a great option for friends and family to play together. With its addictive gameplay and competitive elements, Tetris Worlds is a classic puzzle game that remains enjoyable today.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a puzzle game where players, as robotic "Tetrinauts," must play various Tetris variants to open interstellar gateways and evacuate their species from a dying planet. The better you play, the more Minos are rescued and transported to new worlds.
Story
The Tetrions
There are many theories as to the origin of the Tetrions. The simple truth is that the Tetrions are the only evidence of a long since forgotten space-faring species.
Tetrions are Gateways to planets orbiting distant stars. They can only be opened by an intelligent species because it works only for those who unlock the secrets of the falling Blocks. We have called the gate opening activity Tetris.
While it is the key to connecting us to distant worlds, Tetris has been found to be very addictive by all intelligent species.
The Minos
The Minos are a species found on the planet called Hadar 4. They are a robust mechanical species. It is possible that they were first built by organics, as is the case with most mechanics.
Minos are intelligent and have just unlocked the secrets of the Tetrions. They now know that manipulating the Blocks in a certain way will turn a Tetrion into an interstellar transportation device. The Tetrions will soon turn out to be the key to the survival of the Minos.
The Mission
The mission is to evacuate the Minos on Hadar 4 to six other planets that have been identified as suitable for terraforming. Mino scientists have discovered that their star (Hadar) has become unstable.
As a result, the surface of Hadar 4 will reach 5000 Kelvin, which is well past the maximum operating temperature of the Minos. The best Mino Tetris players have been identified as the gate openers.
Six Tetrinauts will be sent to the planets to open the Tetrion gates from the other side to facilitate the exodus.
Main Menu
When you launch Tetris Worlds you will be brought to the Main Menu.
Story Mode
This is the story mode of Tetris Worlds. There are six different worlds you can send your Mino "Tetrinaut" to.
Once there, your Mino will attempt to play the Tetris variant of that world well enough to rescue more of its Mino buddies. The better you play, the more Minos become rescued.
Once there, Minos will work together to transform their new home from a barren planet into a beautiful place.
Arcade Mode
This is the arcade mode of Tetris Worlds. Back on the home world, Hadar 4, budding Tetris players work hard to hone their play skills in T-Town (Tetris Town).
There is an arcade where players can test their Tetris ranks by trying to reach clear Goals within a two-minute time limit.
It is also possible for up to 4 players to compete on one PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system in exciting Tetris competitions.
•
For 3 or 4 simultaneous players, a Multitap (for PlayStation®2) is required.
Information
The Information Menu has a museum put together by an organic species that actually think they invented Tetris. You can find out their version of the history of Tetris.
They also have all kinds of theories on how the Tetris variants work. Personally, we Minos think that they take themselves much too seriously.

TETRIS GAMES
TETRIS
The objective of Tetris is to manipulate falling Tetriminos forming horizontal rows of Blocks. A point is earned for each line cleared. Bonus points are earned for simultaneous line clears.
Points earned are subtracted from your Goal. When your Goal reaches 0, the game Levels up and becomes faster.
The line clear bonuses are:
•
Double: +1
•
Triple: +2
•
Tetris: +4
•
Back-to-Back Tetris: +8
•
T-Spin +1; clearing 1 line: +3
•
T-Spin +1; clearing 2 lines: +7
There are 15 Levels in Tetris. The player's Goal is to earn 5 x's the Level in points.
Example:
•
Level 1: 5 points
•
Level 2: 10 points
•
Level 3: 15 points
•
Level 15: 75 points
SQUARE TETRIS
The objective of Square Tetris is to combine Tetriminos into squares in addition to playing Tetris. Lines cleared that contain a piece of the 4x4 square earn big bonuses.
Also, a T-spin coupled with a line clear will cause Blocks in the Matrix to Avalanche. After an Avalanche occurs, lines cleared that were part of squares will no longer receive the square bonus.
The line clear bonuses are:
•
Double: +1
•
Triple: +2
•
Tetris: +4
•
T-Spin +1; clearing 1 line: +3
•
T-Spin +1; clearing 2 lines: +7
•
Pure Square: +40
•
Combo Square: +20
There are 15 Levels in Square Tetris. The player's Goal is to clear 10 x's the Level in points.
Example:
•
Level 1: 10 points
•
Level 2: 20 points
•
Level 3: 30 points
•
Level 15: 150 points
CASCADE TETRIS
The objective of Cascade Tetris is to clear lines that cause Cascades while playing Tetris. A Cascade happens when Blocks falling due to a line clear cause another line to clear.
The more Cascades a player can cause with one Tetrimino, the bigger the bonus will be.
Lines Cleared + Bonus Points (Lines cleared -1) + (Cascades x2) = Total
The following example shows what the score will be when a player performs a Tetris, and that causes a 6 cascade:
•
Lines Cleared: 4, Bonus Points: 4, Cascade Bonus: 0, Total: 8
•
Lines Cleared: 1, Bonus Points: 0, Cascade Bonus: 2, Total: 3
•
Lines Cleared: 1, Bonus Points: 0, Cascade Bonus: 4, Total: 5
•
Lines Cleared: 1, Bonus Points: 0, Cascade Bonus: 6, Total: 7
•
Lines Cleared: 1, Bonus Points: 0, Cascade Bonus: 8, Total: 9
•
Lines Cleared: 1, Bonus Points: 0, Cascade Bonus: 10, Total: 11
•
Lines Cleared: 1, Bonus Points: 0, Cascade Bonus: 12, Total: 13
FINAL TOTAL = 56
There are 15 Levels in Cascade Tetris. The Player's Goal is to clear 5 x's the Level in points.
Example:
•
Level 1: 5 points
