How do I get the space shuttle launch in Gameboy Tetris?
Posted On: February 12, 2023

I've been playing Tetris on the virtual Gameboy console on my Nintendo Switch. As a kid, with an actual Gameboy, I remember getting to see a space shuttle launch after doing well enough on an A-Type game.


This Gamespot forum guide claims that this ending appears after you get more than 200,000 points. So far, I've managed about 269,000 points (getting to level 16), but I only saw the third rocket in this image launch. (The image states that the three rockets appear after 100,000, 150,000, and 200,000 points respectively, which matches my experience, but says nothing about the shuttle).


What do I have to do to get the shuttle?


Question from user Paul D. Waite at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

You are playing the wrong game mode.


In A-TYPE, a missile launch is shown when the player surpasses a certain score:.


100,000 to 149,999 points: small missile.


150,000 to 199,999 points: medium-sized missile.


200,000 or more points: big missile.


In B-TYPE, a screen with Russian musicians and dancers is shown when completing 25 lines on level 9. The number of dancers increase with the initial height level. When completing level 9 + height 5, a Buran shuttle launch is shown additionally.
