Top out: tetromino locks with a block in row 21.Entry position: rows 21-22, centered, JLSTZ rounded to the right.Randomizer: Preliminary data suggests a 63-piece bag.In this game, a twist occurs when a tetromino locks in a position such that it cannot move left, right, or up without rotating. The New Tetris defines twists (known in the manual as "spin moves") differently from the "T-spin" rule used in Tetris Worlds, Tetris DS, and other games that use SRS. Top-out condition is the same as in Atari's Tetяis and the "push" mode of Nintendo's Tetris DS: the game ends when one block is placed above the playfield's top row. Ĭolors of some tetrominoes differ from those of the Tetris Guideline: L is magenta, T is yellow, and O is light gray. It has lock delay, soft and firm drop, 4×4 squares, hold piece (though not IHS), three next pieces, ghost piece (TLS), and milder wall kick than SRS (notably, T-spin triples don't work but lock delay is still abusable on no-garbage play).

In this game, the Tetrominoes can be assembled into Gold and Silver Blocks. Like Tetrisphere before it, The New Tetris features a soundtrack by Neil Voss. The New Tetris for N64 was developed by H2O and published by Nintendo.
