The game was originally released for arcades ([[NoExportforYou in Japan only]]), and was later released for the UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 and the UsefulNotes/PlayStation in 1999. A UsefulNotes/GameBoyColor game with the same title but with a completely different plot was also released. Rather than following the console version's plot, it instead centers around a coin rally race as each of the main characters try their best to obtain the coins by completing challenges or challenging others to Tetris matches.

Added DiffLines:

* FormulaWithATwist: There's a couple of extra bells and whistles added to the typical ''Tetris'' formula in this game.
** There are a few extra shapes added to the typical assortment of tetrominos, such as an L-Block with a piece jutting out the side, a U-Block, and even an I-Block with five pieces (which can cross the line from a Tetris to a ''Pent''ris).
** Garbage is handled differently from the usual random-gap block lines pushing the stack upwards. This game's garbage instead takes the form of abnormal blocks that the player has to place themselves, and the current assault of garbage must all be placed before regular tetrominos resume dropping. They can be ''very'' obstructive, ranging in shape from square to triangle to ''diamond'', and can be as big as 5x5.

* BrainwashedBride: Pete uses the magic from a powerful gemstone to hypnotize Minnie into wanting to marry him. The spell works, although Mickey rescues and de-hypnotizes Minnie before Pete begins any kind of ceremony.

It starts out as a normal day for all our heroes. Mickey is on his way to Minnie's house to help her bake cookies, Donald is fishing, and Goofy is bringing Minnie vegetables from his farm. Unfortunately, WesternAnimation/{{Pete}} and his henchmen, [[WesternAnimation/TheThreeLittlePigs the Big Bad Wolf]] and Weasel (possibly one of the weasels from ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceAndThePauper'') are up to no good. Our heroes each go on their own journey, challenging each other to Tetris duels before dueling Pete and his henchmen themselves.

It starts out as a normal day for all our heroes. Mickey is on his way to Minnie's house to help her bake cookies, Donald is fishing, and Goofy is bringing Minnie vegetables from his farm. Unfortunately, WesternAnimation/{{Pete}} and his henchmen, [[WesternAnimation/TheThreeLittlePigs the Big Bad Wolf]] and Weasel (possibly one of the weasels from ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceAndThePauper'') are up to no good. Our heroes each go on their own journey, challenging each other to Tetris duels before dueling Pete and his henchmen themselves.

The game was released for the UsefulNotes/Nintendo64, UsefulNotes/PlayStation, and UsefulNotes/GameBoyColor in 1999.

* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: Pete's goal is to force Minnie to marry him, going as far as to [[spoiler:hypnotize her]].
* AristocratsAreEvil: Pete is known to [[NewJobAsThePlotDemands change jobs and outfits depending on the story]]. In this game, he wears a tuxedo and top hat, and lives in a mansion. Still doesn't stop him from being the main villain, though.
* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:Donald, Goofy, and Minnie]]'s stories all end with them giving Pete something he needs for his EvilPlan. Only in [[spoiler:Mickey]]'s ending does Pete actually lose.
