** ''Tetris with CardcaptorSakura - Eternal Heart'' (PlayStation, 2000; aka [=EH=]) -- A console-exclusive LicensedGame that uses the rotation system of [=TGM2=]. Rather than play Tetris for a grade at high speed, the emphasis is clearing seven jeweled blocks in a Tetris board as quickly as possible (at minimal speeds) over a number of stages, similar to the Sega-produced Tetris derivative ''Flash Point''. A combined time limit for all stages is imposed in the story mode. This mode of play has been carried over into ''Tetris: The Grand Master 3'' as Sakura mode (with SerialNumbersFiledOff, obviously).
* ''Tetris: The Grand Master 3 - Terror-Instinct'' (Arcade, 2005; aka [=TGM3=] or Ti) -- Makes a few changes to the series' signature rotation system and incorporates the Super Rotation System (the rotation system used in "guideline" ''Tetris'' games). Revises the Master mode grade system and implements a "qualified grade" system that indicates your (roughly) average performance, similar to those of martial arts classes. T.A. Death has been replaced by Shirase mode, which has faster speeds and goes up to level 1,300 instead of 999. For those who aren't too bright at TGM, there's Easy mode, which has a slower speed curve and a special scoring system, as well as Sakura mode, which is based on the "target block"-clearing system from ''Tetris with CardcaptorSakura: Eternal Heart''. This is also the game on which the infamous [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwC544Z37qo "Invisible Tetris"]] video was recorded.

* ExecutiveMeddling: ''Tetris: The Grand Master ACE''. The Tetris Guideline, a series of rules that games carrying the "Tetris" name must abide by, forced significant changes to the gameplay mechanics. On top of that, Microsoft wanted Arika to hurry the game to make it a launch title for the {{Xbox 360}} and incorporate downloadble content; as a result, proper ARS can only be unlocked if you have an XBL Gold account.
** Arika has, on two occasions, had videos of TGM clones (such as ''Heboris'' and ''Texmaster'') removed from {{YouTube}}. In the case of the second wave of removals, Arika denied doing so of their own volition, claiming that The Tetris Company made them do it, which leads to some UnfortunateImplications about TTC's possible intentions. Since then, most, if not all, videos of TGM clones have been put back up, with no further action from Arika or TTC.
** [=TGM4=] was allegedly canceled due to difficulty with "cleaning up foreign clones". [[NoExportForYou Excuse me?]]
* FanNickname:
** [[{{Squick}} Mihara's sperm]]: The level 100-199 background in [=TGM1=], which suffers from a case of DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything.
** [[FunWithAcronyms The MOve Reset]]: [=TGM4=]:TMOR, for Arika's decision to make ARS an easier, "move reset" rotation system.
