Featured Modes
These are the core game modes that you'll be going back to again and again in Tetris®: Axis. From traditional play to all new features, you'll find hours of fun here.
New Mode! FEVER
Download Play: Up to 8 Players
In this blazing-fast new game mode, you've only got a minute to get massive points. Use super-speed skills to nab special items and Color Attacks—and when you do, watch that score go into the stratosphere.
You'll even be able to discover wild new items to use in Fever Mode using the SpotPass™ feature.
What is Spotpass?
Computer Battle
Go head-to-head with an array of CPU opponents! Combos and multi-line scores will flood each opponent's Matrix with disruptive blocks, and special items can be used to cause extra devastation. See how many you can beat in a row.
Marathon
Download Play: Up to 8 Players
It's the traditional Tetris® game mode you know and love! Form horizontal lines by stacking Tetriminos as they fall. The more lines you clear, the faster and tougher it gets.
Survival
How long can you last? Survival mode pits you against a constant upward stream of blocks in a narrow Matrix. Go on a mad dash to clear as many lines as you can before you're overrun with Tetriminos!
Party Modes
These fun-filled modes show off a wild side to Tetris: Axis that's sure to turn a few heads. They also look amazing in 3D, so be sure to turn that 3D Depth Slider up.
New Mode! Jigsaw
These aren't your average Tetriminos—each falling Tetrimino has a piece of the puzzle on it. Slide, rotate, and place them together and reveal your picture.
Shadow Wide
Local Play: Up to 2 Players
There's a picture of something cool hiding behind the shadowy shape. Turn and slide Tetriminos as they fall to build out the shape and see what it is.
New Mode! Fit
There's a wall of blocks flying straight towards you, and the only way to stop it is to launch Tetriminos into the empty spaces. Look fast, shoot faster!
Tower Climber
Tetriminos are falling all around the tower, and they're the only way up for our determined climber. Can you use the Tetriminos to help him reach the top.?
Bombliss™ Plus
Fancy a little destruction in your Tetris game? Try this mode, where every piece you drop has bomb pieces in it. As you clear lines, the surrounding areas explode. Clear all of the lines to proceed to the next level!
Stage Racer
Local Play: Up to 8 Players
It's a race to the bottom, with your Tetrimino falling fast through a challenging course. Jumps and clever rotations will be essential to reaching your goal.
New Mode! Capture
Local Play: Up to 2 Players
Pesky stars are hiding within the Matrix, and the only way to make them disappear is to capture them with the right color Tetrimino.
Master Mode
Think you're a Tetris® master? We'll see about that. In this mode, Tetriminos fall faster than the eye can see. Clear as many lines as you can—if you get more than a few, we'll be impressed!
Sprint
Work like lightning to clear 40 lines as fast as you can in this challenging game mode. You'll need speed, skill, and precision to keep your times low.
AR Modes
Using the Question Block AR Card included with your Nintendo 3DS system, you can see Tetris® games unfold in the real world with these amazing new modes!
What are AR Cards?
AR Marathon
A miniature Matrix appears right on your floor or kitchen table in this mode, where you need to clear 50 lines as fast as you can. Bomb pieces are attached to certain Tetriminos—if one of these is in a cleared line, the whole field will shift, and you'll need to move the angle of your body and Nintendo 3DS to match.
AR Climber
In this mode you'll have to get really active, and rotate yourself 360 degrees around the AR Card as you stack Tetriminos around a cylindrical field. There's a tiny climber trying to get to the top of the tower, and he needs your help to get there. Stack them carefully so he can climb step by step—but be careful not to crush him with a falling Tetrimino!
Multiplayer Modes
Playing with a friend can be even more fun—especially when you can challenge up to seven other players at once. With lots of ways to play, you and your buddies will be battling for a long time to come.
Local Play
Go head-to-head with up to seven other players in five modes—VS Battle, VS Stage Racer, VS Shadow Wide, VS Capture, and Co-op Tower Climber. All you need is one game card, and a Nintendo 3DS system for each player—so get stacking!
Download Play
You and your friends can compete for Tetris® dominance in three modes via Download Play—Marathon with Everyone, Fever with Everyone, and VS Battle. Only one copy of the game is needed, and a Nintendo 3DS system for each player.
Online Play
Test your Tetris game skills against players from around the world via online play. Choose specific friends in your Friend List, or pair up with a random opponent from afar.
All kinds of useful new items appear in these exciting VS matches, and an online ranking system records the results of each match you play. Go for global bragging rights, and show your opponents what you're made of!
