Play Tetris 2 on Snes Online

Tetris 2 came out for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994, published by Nintendo. It was part of that wave of puzzle games that tried to twist familiar formulas, arriving when the SNES was already packed with classics. This one stood out for its different take on the falling block concept, offering something a little less frantic and more deliberate than the original.

You control the falling pieces, but instead of clearing full rows, your goal is to cover up all the flashing dots on the screen. You do this by dropping colored blocks onto them; when a block lands on a dot of the same color, both vanish. The main mechanics involve careful placement to avoid trapping dots, and sometimes you have to clear multiple layers to reach the ones underneath. The pace is slower, more methodical, with a gradual increase in difficulty that makes you plan several moves ahead. It feels like untangling a knot, one thoughtful piece at a time.
