Tetris Attack for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) is a puzzle video game that deviates from the typical Tetris formula. Released in 1996, its genre is primarily puzzle-solving with a competitive twist. Players switch adjacent colored blocks on a vertical board to create matching combinations of three or more. The game features various modes, including single-player and multiplayer options, where players can challenge each other or the computer. Battles can become intense as players send garbage blocks to their opponent's screen by clearing large combos or chain reactions.
