Who else plays big?

[tepples]

Heboris UE has a "big mode" with 5 columns and 10 rows, which the player can turn on by holding C when starting a game. My 8-year-old little cousin loves it. Does anyone else?

The mode originated in TGM1, if you didn't know. It was inspired by the 68k clone Shimizu Tetris, which was highly customizable. It was popular among players to make the well 4x20, which while technically small, features similar gameplay to Big Mode.


It's fun every now and then. Lots of casualish players tend to love it... It's practically all Lost's mother ever plays.

I've heard of it in TGM1. How do you get it?

* Title Screen Codes : Enter these codes at the title screen for the desired effect...
Big Mode (Pieces are much larger in size.) : Left(x4), Down, C, B, A.
Mono Mode (Play the game in black and white.) : Right(x3), Up, C, B, A.
TLS Mode (Pieces will still have shadows beyond lvl100) : A, B, C(x2), B, A(x2), C, B.
Uki Mode (A Japanese child will laugh when you clear lines.) : A, B, A, B, A, B, A, B, A, B, A, B, A, B, A, B(x2).
20G Mode (Starts the game with the highest gravity of 20 spaces per frame.) : Down(x8), C, B, A.
Rev Mode (Pieces rise instead of falling as you play Tetris in reverse.) : Down, Up(x2), Down, C, B, A.

* No Item Mode : To play a classic versus game without any items, hold down both player Start buttons when it says 'Here Comes a New Challenger'.

* Another Hidden Game Mode : As you play, leave the bottom left square unfilled so that that line doesn't clear. Also, leave the square up one and right one unfilled so that the second line won't clear. Continue like this, leaving holes diagonally, until you reach the right wall. Then continue diagonally to the left wall. You should be making a pattern that looks like '>'. It's actually rather hard to make the pattern entirely, but try to make as much as you can. After you die the game will recognize this pattern and give you an additional "Secret Grade", according to how much of the pattern you were able to make. Can you achieve Grandmaster in this challenging exercise ?

Thank you colour-thief. I knew about the '>' mode, and I've tried it a few times. Best I got was S4 I think.

"Lost's mother" -- what does it mean?


3d block out hast a sort of similiar mode: pit size is 3x3x10 with medium hard piece set.

i love(ed) to play 3x3x10 pit size with extended block set. its sort of sad that not more blockout fans lurking around here...

Lost is the name of a poster here, so I am speaking of his mother.


eg. "Herc's mother"

http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_idea.gif ok, now that makes sense.. -- just was curious how to interprete the sentence http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif

you know.. wii's virtual console has instead of tetris (too expensive licensing) that "mean bean machine". pyo like. my question: is it fun in two player mode? challenging? i once played, ages ago, a PC-clone (forgot its name) and that one was fun. but - is the segamegadrive version good, too?
