** TheManBehindTheMan / TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Ichiro Mihara. [[NamesTheSame No, not the one from]] ''AngelicLayer''.]]

* HarderThanHard: Versus Campaign 2. [[supersecretspoiler:The unlock method for it is to get a Secret GM in Speed Mania, then type "imamoetard" as the stack fades out. VC 2 is the same as standard Versus Campaign, but all the female moe characters vanish, all the male characters become [[{{Bishounen}} extra]] [[ArtShift pretty]], and the final boss, instead of being Mihara, is [[{{DJMAX}} Kimys]]. Kimys has a special attack that floods your playfield with one of his boring visual effects. If you defeat him, you'll be given a special password you can use on the secret webpage of the Platinum Crew website that disables all the generic Kimys videos. If you lose, you'll get unskippable credits that consist of reading names from a phonebook, superimposed against a Kimys video. Oh, and during this entire sequence, you cannot ALT+TAB, close the game process via Task Manager, or turn off your computer.]]

* UpToEleven: As if the Tetris Guideline wasn't [[WallBanger stupid]] enough...

''[=TGM5=]'' was originally going to be a commerical game developed by Arika called '''''Tetris: The Grand Master V''''', but during the ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'' wars of 201X, The Tetris Company successfully [[strike:took over]] hijacked the ''Tetris: The Grand Master'' series and sued Arika into bankruptcy, and released a [[DolledUpInstallment dolled up]] ''Tetris Worlds 2'' as ''[=TGMV=]'', with the most broken scoring and rotation systems of all time. ''[[KanyeWest The most broken scoring and rotation systems]] [[MemeticMutation of all time!]]''

* BeyondTheImpossible: As if the Tetris Guideline wasn't [[WallBanger stupid]] enough...

* BeyondTheImpossible: As if ''TGM'' wasn't hard enough...

** D Rotation (''DTET''): A skater with bruises here and there. Looks kinda like [[TheWorldEndsWithYou Beat]].

''[=~Tetris: The Grand Master~=] 5'' is one of two nonexistant things:

* [=~What The Hell, Player?~=]: In Versus Campaign, you can choose to side with Arika or The Tetris Company. [[spoiler:Side with TTC and fellow TGM players will berate you and challenge you to a BossRush. You'll [[SkippableBoss skip Henk Rogers]], but now you have to team up up with him in a doubles battle with Mihara and [=jin8=]. Oh, and [[ArtificialStupidity Henk's AI is rather idiotic]] and you two are stuck with S1 Rotation while Mihara and [=jin8=] get to use A3.]]

* NoFairCheating: If you hack the game to change the controls to anything other than "left/right to move, down to drop, up to rotate", the game deletes your [=system32=] folder.

* ScoringPoints: Singles are worth 100 points, Doubles 150, Triples 200, Tetrises 201. Also, the combo scoring system has been tweaked to work only with singles.

''[=TGM5=]'' was originally going to be a commerical game developed by Arika called '''''Tetris: The Grand Master V''''', but during the ''{{Tetris}}'' wars of 201X, The Tetris Company successfully [[strike:took over]] hijacked the ''Tetris: The Grand Master'' series and sued Arika into bankruptcy, and released a [[DolledUpInstallment dolled up]] ''Tetris Worlds 2'' as ''[=TGMV=]'', with the most broken scoring and rotation systems of all time. ''[[KanyeWest The most broken scoring and rotation systems]] [[MemeticMutation of all time!]]''

* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: The last two bosses of Versus Campaign. They have extremely low appearance delay, can slide pieces at a rate faster than 1 cell per 1/60th of a second, fill up their item gauges three times as fast. Also, [[spoiler:Henk can drop pieces ''through'' overhangs, and ''[[RealityWarper Mihara can alter the rules of A3 Rotation in mid-round to his liking.]]'']]

* EasierThanEasy: Domino mode.

In response, the TGM fanbase's programmers got ahold of the original design document of ''TGMV'' and took it upon themselves to mod a popular TGM clone to finish off what TTC trashed. The result is '''''Tetris: The Grand Master 5 - Gotaru'''''. In addition to being a continuation of the ''TGM'' series, the console port offers a Versus Campaign mode in which you take on various ''Tetris'' players and, ultimately, [[spoiler:the folks currently behind ''Tetris.'']]

* HarderThanHard: Versus Campaign 2. [[supersecretspoiler:The unlock method for it is to get a Secret GM in Speed Mania, then type "imamoetard" as the stack fades out. VC 2 is the same as standard Versus Campaign, but all the female moe characters vanish, all the male characters become [[{{Bishounen}} extra pretty]], and the final boss, instead of being Mihara, is [[{{DJMAX}} Kimys]]. Kimys has a special attack that floods your playfield with one of his boring visual effects. If you defeat him, you'll be given a special password you can use on the secret webpage of the Platinum Crew website that disables all the generic Kimys videos. If you lose, you'll get unskippable credits that consist of reading names from a phonebook, superimposed against a Kimys video. Oh, and during this entire sequence, you cannot ALT+TAB, close the game process via Task Manager, or can you turn off your computer.]]

** You can unlock ''Jewelry Master 2'' by completing Sakura mode. As a jab at ''Jewelry Master Twinkle''[='=]s DatingSim elements, [=JM2=] also features DatingSim elements...but with male characters instead.
