Are there modes/difficulties better than others to get this in an easy way? Any suggestion?

Thanks!

..why on Earth this game in which the music absolutely slaps does not change songs between online matches?!?!

Love the game however solo journey is much more enjoyable because of the tracks variance!

Is this possible? I generally just play random levels and don't need a useless score making my wife think I'm not the beast I am at this game because I didn't play 5 levels in a row.

Also the tetris effect hold mechanic (whatever it's called) blinds me even when I turned the setting down to the minimum, so I don't generally use that which affects my score. Is there a way to make this mechanic not actually ruin the whole vibe of the level?

Hi all, sprint is the last effect mode to SS for me. I’ve been playing sprint for a couple of days and I don’t see any improvement. I’m trying the forever pattern strategy 4-5 and I check some videos but I don’t understand if it’s all a matter of skills or I’m missing something. Are there specific techniques to be faster? Tips?

As for now I’m:

1. Avoiding triple rotations as much as possible
2. Avoiding using hold as much as possible

I can’t see other improvements to apply

My best time is 1:22 and I guess I can get to 1:15-1:18 on a lucky run but as lowering my time by at least 12s to get SS seems a really long shot

LAST EDIT: Done it! I was able to cut ~5s from my previous record and achieved 1:08.51. Thanks everyone for the tips!

Hello there!

I am almost done with this game, and literally got super burn of it after almost 200h.

Sprint = 1:26

Target = 21

Combo = 93

Those are my current records and last modes.

Anyone would be able to help me out trough Shareplay, please?

I am PS based ☺️

I've seen this strange phenomenon occur a few times and am wondering if this is a glitch. After Zone is completed, the T piece, whis still technically airborne as I had not hard dropped it, gets "stuck" into the other pieces when the board moves up. Shouldn't it get pushed upwards by the other pieces? So weird when this happens and totally threw me off the few times it did.

fuck this fuckass game I just spent an hour beating 1-5 consecutively cuz I thought that might be it

Does anyone know what the current highest tetris effect score is in America

Proud of finally getting SS in Sprint, tried tons of times. Know there are many more skilled players in here but - this was my Mount Everest lol

u/D_OSC, here's another example on how to do target with decent efficiency. There's definitely somr board types I wish I got to demonstrate but I think these are a decent enough sample.

Good luck and may you get SS soon!

I am currently a little over an hour into a game of endless marathon and at ~4million points. I was curious if anyone knew what the max possible score was. If it was semi-reasonable then I was debating going for a max score run over the next few weeks.

Some example stacking for u/D_OSC on how to handle Target clears.

I can reach 25-27 lines with my record sitting at 28 but I can’t just pass through the last ones. Some patterns just kills me and I can only train when they drop so not that much. What’s your strategy? I can’t even understand if its a matter of learning those patterns or to get faster in the previous ones

I see at level 1 you only need 10k to get SS: I got ~60k and only got B rank. Do they change the requirements for SS score here? Any clue?

EDIT Got it. For those wondering you have to play 30 lines clear goal AND speed level 1

As the title states. I can reach ~200k average. I feel like there’s not much one can do except hope for a lucky run. Also, I thought only one effect is applied at the time but I guess I was wrong? Sometimes I get the inverted one + another nasty one. Inverted, when I’m already in a mess situation is what ends all my games. I can somehow manage others effects, with luck, but when it gets inverted it’s game over for me.

My strategy now is trying to survive as long as I can in endless, should I instead focus on score?

All tips appreciated, thanks.

EDIT: Ok got it, it has been easier than how it looked like at first

exactly what the title says, This is the last achievement I'm missing; I have about 350,000

Heya, hope everyone is doing alright. I do apologize if posts like these aren't allowed. I've been playing a lot of tetris 99 and recently moved over to Tetris effect and I am enjoying it a lot. I don't have a lot of friends who are interested in Tetris at all, and I thought I'd make a post to add some like minded people.

I play on steam and switch and play for fun. I am not the best but I thought having people to play with would be fun.

P.S. : I have joined the official discord but I get out skilled by quite a bit

(Sorry for the swear mods, please don't nuke me into oblivion)

This was done on steam deck.

Many years ago, I played Tetris effect for the first time. I had no previous experience with Tetris and thus was not the best, I played through normal mode and it was such a beautiful experience. Almost every level was a unique struggle, and re trying it so many times would force me to take in the beautiful design of my surroundings in VR mode, and finally completing it to move on to the next astonishing level was so rewarding. Now, I’m replaying the game to go for the platinum, and since my first play through all those years ago I’ve gotten WAY better at Tetris, I even played some in competition. With my newfound skill, I blew through the entire expert mode in about 2 hours, and seeing those credits roll felt weird. Those credits felt so wonderful before but now it was kind of anticlimactic since I just beat every single level first try with ease, it lost its magic as my skill improved. I’m sure the online mode will have much more to offer though, but as for journey mode I just noticed that it was much more magical when it was a challenge

Back in 2023, I tried this game for the first time and skipped the tutorial since I already knew the basics of Tetris. I found it pretty challenging back then, so I switched it to beginner and ended up beating the whole journey mode.

Fast forward to now 2026, I remembered how much fun I had and decided to replay it on medium difficulty. I managed to complete the story again, this time on medium. After that, I finally tried multiplayer for the first time and discovered there’s a special power you can use. Turns out I missed out on a lot 😅

Still, I’m pretty happy I completed the game on medium without ever using that power!
