The Story Behind Tetris Attack
International versions instead replace these with characters and settings from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, a game that was released earlier in 1995. The Japanese version is titled Panel de Pon, featuring fairies as the main characters with a fantasy setting. Several gameplay modes are present, including a time attack and multiplayer mode.
The game is referenced in other Nintendo games, such as the Super Smash Bros. series, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and Captain Rainbow. Two years later, in 1998, a special version of Panel de Pon was broadcast through the Satellaview peripheral for the Super Famicom in Japan, renamed BS Panel de Pon – Event '98 as part of a contest by St. GamesRadar+ listed it 87th on their list of "The 100 best games of all time", saying "you haven't lived until you've played Tetris Attack two-player and dropped an immensely satisfying five-line garbage block on your opponent." Game Informer featured it on its own best games of all-time list at 96 and called it one of the most addictive puzzle games ever made.
How Tetris Attack Plays
Stage Clear mode takes the player through a series of stages, in which the objective is to clear all blocks underneath a "boundary" line. The blocks in this mode do not rise towards the top. The player can also earn combos, clearing more than three blocks in a single move.
As the stage progresses, the blocks will begin to rise steadily towards the top of the screen, with new blocks generating from the bottom. Matching together three or more blocks of the same color will destroy them. In Puzzle Mode, the player must clear all the blocks in a preset block arrangement in a set number of moves.
Why Players Still Load It Up
The "Lip's Stick", the primary weapon of the main character of Panel de Pon, appears throughout the Super Smash Bros. series since Super Smash Bros. A previously unreleased sequel, Panel de Pon 64, was later released as part of Nintendo Puzzle Collection for the GameCube in 2003. Lip appears in the Japan-only Wii game Captain Rainbow and as a Spirit and Mii Fighter costume in Super Smash Bros.
A condensed version of the game for DSiWare, Puzzle League Express, was released in 2010 for the Nintendo DSi with many of the same features as Planet. GamePro gave the Game Boy version a brief positive review, saying it "updates the age-old Tetris concept by inverting the basic action". GamePro gave it a perfect 5 out of 5 in graphics, control and FunFactor, and a 4.5 out of 5 in sound.
