Nintendo's greatest characters are teaming up with one the greatest puzzle title of all time in an online multiplayer frenzy!

Every mode in Tetris DS features a theme based on a famous Nintendo character. The game has six game modes to choose from, the first two which can be revealed are "Standard" and "Touch".

"Standard" is a Mario-themed mode with the same addictive gameplay that made the original Tetris so wildly popular. Players guide falling Tetriminos (falling blocks) and form horizontal lines to clear them away. Mario runs around Super Mario Bros. levels in the background.

"Touch" mode is a unique take on Tetris that really shows off the touch-screen capability of Nintendo DS. Players use a stylus to drag and move Tetriminos in a giant stack to make them fall into horizontal lines. In early levels, they can tap Tetriminos to spin them just the way they need them. Players have as much time as they need to carefully plan their moves, so it plays very differently from the other frantic modes.

As previously revealed, up to 10 players can clash using DS Download Play to form a Tetris DS match of massive proportions, all with just one game card. Meanwhile, using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, up to four players can compete in wireless two or four-player battles against friends or strangers, near or far!
