you can play up to 10 people with 1 cart.
you can also play mission mode (the first who complete some quests wins), but I never tried it.
if you mean online friends using codes, you can play 2players normal mode, 2p pressing mode, 4 players
everything is like random matches except that the matches do not affect online ranking

I love this game but I have one problem. Most of the items to attack opponents in 4 player mode make it challenging but still fair if you are skilled, however the lightning is completely unfair and in my opinion stops the game from even being tetris anymore when it's implemented. I mean if you are really lucky you'll get pieces that you can use to just clear a line or something, but usually you get total crap positioning so you just have to wait and watch it fall, then probably switch the piece to give you more waiting time. If you are far down this works ok but if you are anywhere in the upper half of the screen it really screws you.

Overcoming it has nothing to do with skill, and it is essentially putting you on pause, you just stop playing for the duration of the attack. In a fast-paced game against skilled opponents, this usually means either they work themselves into an incredibly comfortable position or set up a tetris or two to hit you with. This makes it even worse than the blue shell in Mario Kart: Double Dash, and sometimes you'll even get hit with the ghost, mushroom and lightning at the same time (a couple times I've even been hit with a banana in the midst of this).

I dunno, everything else is ok but that one item is just the definition of cheap. If it's down to a farily intense one on one and I get hit by it, I feel I was just robbed because it usually gives them enough time to seal my doom. And if I get it to use on them, I am not really satisfied with my win.

you get the grey opponents line just below where you did your last lines/put last blocks.
So it's up to you if you get all scattered or in line.

yes. to help you, in thise situations you often get the "all long block bonus" that makes it even worse.:lol
my stategy in 4 p mode, in the first place is not to go up, no tetris, just 1 or 2 lines per time.
this way you can use a lot of bonus to trow to the oppnonents.

I don't understand, clarify? I have noticed that if I go slow at the beginning I get hit less.

Let's play, I'm searching.

-edit-
Are you here? I stopped searching. Do you have aim? Send me an IM (I gave my s/n earlier) if you want to play.

sorry:
your opponents makes some lines, addressed to you.
you'll have the "hole" in the grey lines you get, right below where you placed your last block.
this is what happens very often.
if you complete a line putting the block at the extreme left, then to the extreme right, you get opponents lines all scattered, so that you have to complete those 1 by one and not, like with one "l" block.
hope you where asking about this. is it (more) clear now?
nice match, dinner time here :)
bye

Good game(s). On that last round I screwed up several times but the rest were good and challenging. I think I have potential for real skill but I need to practice more, right now I'm inconsistent.

Ok, I just got broadband, so ds wifi is go!!

Anyway, are friend codes lists separate for each game? But wifi settings are universal (on teh ds)?

My friend code:

Oh, and also for the record, I have been spending unheard amounts of times for Marathon non-endless mode trying to perfect my score - current highest is 1212000 - but I was just playing the other day in this mode, and I exclusively go for tetrises, but I noticed my score was 90000 after 4 tetrises! Odd, because normally, the first tetris is 16000, and subsequent ones are 24000, so by four of them you should have 88000 - where did the other 2000 pts come from? I don't think I can get points for dropping, as I play exclusively on level 20.

anyway, going to add you guys, just to see what the fuss is all about!

Quick question regarding the music:

I've heard you can unlock the original Tetris music and listen to it on Sound Mode, which is pretty cool. Once you unlock various tracks, though, can you actually choose them and have them play while you're gaming, regardless of which game mode you're on?

Eg. Say, if I wanted Zelda music during, say, Push Mode. Possible?
