Really good Tetris, with a delicious Nintendo theme. This WOULD be the BEST all-round version of Tetris, BUT it does not track your record time for clearing 200 rows. Beating your score is more about getting back-to-back Tetris, whereas the real pride of Tetris improvement comes from being able to blitz lines like a coke-fiend.
Standard Tetris also leans way too much into Super Mario as well. Believe first 100 lines are all played with a Mario theme, meaning the "iconic" music gets a tad repetitive. Whereas Zelda and Metroid get one track, they come and go way too quick. Would also have been nice to have Zelda II's Temple theme in there.
The other modes are a good distraction: "Hey, what else can we do with Tetrominos that isn't Tetris?"
But turns out Tetris is still the best thing to do with Tetrominos.
The best handheld Tetris, but not the best puzzle game on DS.
