Editing Tetris Attack

}}

'''''Tetris Attack''''' is a [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[Game Boy]] [[Genre#Puzzle|puzzle]] game featuring the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]] as a theme by altering graphics and audio of the Japanese game ''[[#Panel de Pon|Panel de Pon]]''. Despite its name, ''Tetris Attack'' has no relation to the ''[[harddrop:Tetris|Tetris]]'' series, and follow-ups were named ''Puzzle League'' in the west starting with ''[[bulbapedia:Pokémon Puzzle League|Pokémon Puzzle League]]''. The Japanese version of ''Tetris Attack'' was released on the [[Satellaview]] as a ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'' title instead of using the ''Tetris'' name license. Like ''Tetris Attack'', there was an option in the menus to play the game with the characters and story dialogue in English, but the menus would stay in Japanese. The [[Game Boy]] version was also released in Japan as a standard cartridge.

==Gameplay==

{{multiframe

==Single-player mode==

===Endless===

In Endless mode, players play to try to achieve the best possible score before they get a game over. Players can choose the difficulty level (Easy, Normal, Hard) and the speed level (lv. 1-99) to start out. However, the longer they manage to stay alive, the faster the stack will start to rise. If the player manages to reach a score of 99,999, the credits sequence will play.

===Puzzle===

===VS.===

Single player VS. is a game where players can battle the computer in a fight to free the players' allies from a spell cast by [[Kamek]]. One by one, the players and [[Yoshi]] must break the spell over each of their allies by battling and defeating them. The key to doing that is to dump [[garbage block]]s, which resemble the ceiling from ''[[Wario's Woods]]'', on their stack. There are special panels called [[Shock Panel]]s. When three or more of these align, this creates a [[Shock Block]], a special garbage block, which makes clearing garbage blocks more difficult. Each battle gets successively more difficult, and as the players progress and free their allies, they can use them in battle as well.

*[[Raphael the Raven|Raphael The Raven]]

The following characters can only be used in the VS game modes. There is an exception in the Game Boy version of the Puzzle game mode.

*[[Bumpty]] (SNES version only)

*[[Kamek]]

*[[Bowser]]

Note: All rival characters can only be used in the 2P Mode. There is an exception in the Game Boy version of the Puzzle game mode, however.

==Secrets==

Below are a list of secrets that can be found. None of them stay unlocked, however.

===SNES===

#Upon turning on the SNES, the player has to press the following buttons; {{button|snes|B}}, {{button|snes|A}}, {{button|L}}, {{button|L}}. If done correctly, the player will hear a chime. When the player does a one-player game mode, the stack will not stop, regardless of if the player does a combo or chain.

===Super Game Boy===

When the Game Boy version is played on a [[Super Game Boy]], certain button codes, if "1P" is selected at the title screen, trigger six secret borders, which are based on the background designs used for Yoshi's and his pals' stages in the SNES version. The borders and their corresponding codes are as follows:

===Differences===

====Character replacements====

|-

!VS. mode stage

*In the character selection screen for 2-player mode, the characters' names shown beneath their icons in ''Panel de Pon'' were removed in ''Tetris Attack'' due to some of the replacement characters' names being too long to fit there.

*Lip's flower-themed stage was completely redesigned for Yoshi, now taking place on [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]]. Only the tree that serves as the border for the playing field was left intact, though the leaves are a lighter shade of green and the flowers were removed.

*Stage 4 of VS. Mode was changed from a jewel-themed stage (for Ruby) to a flower themed-one (for Flying Wiggler) with graphics resembling tiles seen in certain levels from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', such as [[Visit Koopa and Para-Koopa]].

*Stages 9, 10, and 11 have unique graphics in ''Panel de Pon''. In ''Tetris Attack'', all three stages use the same background as the cutscenes in Mt. Wickedness.

====Audio====

*All voice clips were changed to accommodate the character replacements.

*Yoshi's stage theme is an arrangement of the intro story theme from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', replacing Lip's theme. Lip's theme still plays during the game's tutorials.

*''Tetris Attack'' has victory and loss themes in VS. mode and 2-player mode, while in ''Panel de Pon'', the stage's "panic" theme continues to play even after the match ends. 2-player matches and losses in VS. mode play the same theme that plays at the end of stages in other modes, while victories in VS. mode use a completely new theme.

*''Panel de Pon'' has three Game Over themes, which are music box renditions of Lip's, Windy's, and Elias' themes (the tutorial theme, Lakitu's theme, and Froggy's theme in ''Tetris Attack''). ''Tetris Attack'' replaces all of them with a music box rendition of Yoshi's theme.

====Miscellaneous====

*''Tetris Attack'' added a password system for VS. mode.

In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], [[Lip's Stick]], an item used by Lip, is an item throughout the series. [[Kirby]]'s [[Kirby#Stone|Stone]] move can turn him into many objects, including a garbage block from ''Panel de Pon''. ''Panel de Pon'' music also appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. The fairy Lip herself appears as an important character in ''[[Captain Rainbow]]''. She also appears as a spirit and [[Mii Swordfighter]] costume in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.
