Marathon Mode
Marathon is the classic endless mode. Play as long as you can while the speed increases with each level.
Rules
- Start at a level of your choice (1-15)
- Gravity increases with each level (see Gravity & Speed)
- The game ends when blocks reach the top of the board (top out)
- Your goal is to maximize your score
Scoring
All standard scoring rules apply. Points are multiplied by your current level, so higher levels yield more points per clear.
Level Progression
Clearing lines increases your level. Generally, clearing 10 lines advances one level. Higher start levels mean faster gravity from the start but also higher point multipliers.
Strategy
- At lower levels, focus on building clean stacks and going for Quads
- Build a 4-wide well on the right side for I-piece Quads
- Use T-Spins when opportunities appear for bonus points
- At higher levels, survival becomes the priority - clear anything to stay alive
- Maintaining Back-to-Back chains maximizes your score
