What's How to Improve

How to Improve, which covers Combos, Chains & Skill Chains. The game will automatically play for you demonstrating how it's done, however, I can take control of the cursor by holding both shoulder buttons.

How It's Played

Each section of the How to Improve has 4 levels of 'difficulty', Combos have 1-4, Chains have 1-4 & Skill Chains have 1-4. Each one will get more problematic as it gets further along.

No Ending

How to Improve doesn't have any official ending, by the game's standards, so the movie's input ends on the first possible input on the last 'puzzle'.

Confirmation Cancels

I can perfectly time a block to create a combo, chain, or skill chain and cancel the animation playing out using Confirmation Cancels. Confirmation Cancels are hearing the sound of "successfully complete" usually by the character making a noise, IE: Poochy Bark. Once I do, I'll be able to move on to the next one without having to wait.

This Puzzle Mode cuts out the extra levels for fluff, so it's a little less than half the length of the movie that does do extras.

Also, not sure what happens sometimes with IGT, although I do everything, in the same manner, I see in the movie for extras. It could probably be improved if it's not an emulator bug, even if it's by 1 or 2 seconds.

What is Puzzle Mode

Puzzle Mode is a mode in Tetris Attack, that has a set sequence of blocks, and a set sequence of chains and combos. Puzzle Mode serves not only as a challenge to the player to find the solution, but, to teach the player how the game works.

Stage by Stage Puzzle Solutions (written in a cryptic language to confuse the solver)

Yoshi: 1-01 ~ Move the Red block to the right to match 3
Yoshi: 1-02 ~ Move Teal block from bottom block to the right to match 4
Yoshi: 1-03 ~ Switch Green and Red blocks on the top to match 6
Yoshi: 1-04 ~ Switch Yellow and Dark Blue in the middle to match 10
Yoshi: 1-05 ~ Move Teal block from the far right to the left. Let it connect and the Green block will chain for 3x3
Yoshi: 1-06 ~ Bottom middle Purple and Red block swap to match 6
Yoshi: 1-07 ~ Teal block from the middle of the Red blocks, move that to the left for to fall to the bottom Teal blocks. The Red blocks will follow for a 4 match
Yoshi: 1-08 ~ Yellow block and Purple block swap on the right edge for a 6 match
Yoshi: 1-09 ~ Green block on the stairs, move to the left for a 3, and a chain x2 for the Teal blocks
Yoshi: 1-10 ~ Move Red and Yellow blocks at the bottom, and do the same for the top. Match the middle for a 10

[*Yoshi - 0'19]

Lakitu: 1-01 ~ Move red block out to the left, thus yellow will fall for chain & a match 4 with x2/4
Lakitu: 1-02 ~ Move Dark Blue block to the left, and thou shall fall with green. Dark Blue will fall from the top and match for 3 via x2

2-1 through 2-4 seems good, 2-5 is an early concept, and want to get another 13 or 12-second stage. however, I still, want 3 or 4 seconds out of 2-5 so a 2:01 or 2:00 is viable, but, it's certainly getting harder to maintain, as the stage clear lines become less and less visible & 13 or 12 seconds is becoming near impossible, due to that.

Menuing: The game offers an option for a hidden code at the beginning of the game called the B-A-L-L Code, by pressing B, A, L, L once or consecutively. This B-A-L-L Code allows for 1 player modes to keep the stack from stoping from creating larger chains & combos, however, this hidden code will not be used for the entire run, as it not only bring on more of a challenge to the player *me* but, shows strategic stack rasing and interesting cases of block switching when in dire situations. Putting everything at its largest stack height and creating havoc at every turn possible.

Stage Clear Knowledge: Stage Clear has the player using not only the cursor given to them but, must make strategic choices in combos and chains and for how long the stack needs to be raised. If the player manages to get their panels/blocks beneath this clear line, the game reward the player for beating the level, granting them access to the next level in the series of levels.

Types of Panels/Blocks:

Red Hearts
Yellow Stars
Green Circles
Purple Diamonds
Blue Triangles

How to Create Combos: The combo is created by attaching 4 or more panels/blocks to one another, either by vertically, horizontally or Z shapes. More than 1 combo can be done at a time, creating a big bubble of combos going at once, which not only helps create the clear condition faster but, also looks mesmerizing.

How to Create Chains: While not as necessary in this mode, chains can be made from creating a path to the same shaped blocks that allow a connected path to one another. This can be done if one block section clears above and falls below to string a chain, this can also be done from alternating sides.
