My second score: 339,910. A tip: Hold A and then press start to play on a level you chose +10. I didn't know about it until I wondered how the guy on the YouTube video started on a level higher than 9.

Getting a little rusty. Oh well!

[Sonic R]

I'm not so great at original Tetris… I think I've gotten too used to quick drops, hold pieces, and the ghost placement!

here's my first go:

38,239

[asponge]

52,380

I was never a very good Tetris player. This is probably my highest score ever.
