Introduction by SmartSE

Reflinks will help you to turn bare urls into templated references, hopefully leaving you more time to write and reducing link rot caused by bare urls. The tool visits each webpage that is in a bare reference and collects the page title and some other information automatically, the tool has to be checked over manually to make sure that the references are filled in correctly by the tool. You may have to remove some extra information from the template and add extra details if the tool is not able to find it for you. Some links may be marked as dead links incorrectly as the site blocks the tool, you may wish to manually check these dead links before adding the dead link tag to the article. The tool also does a few other minor maintenance tasks.

'''''Tetris Attack''''' is a [[computer puzzle game|puzzle]] [[video game]] developed by [[Intelligent Systems]] and published by [[Nintendo]] for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] [[video game console|home video game console]] and [[Game Boy]] [[handheld game console]].  It is part of the [[Puzzle League (series)|''Puzzle League'' series]] and is a direct port of the [[Japan]]ese game ''[[Panel de Pon]]'', rebranded to use characters and settings from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''.  A Japanese version of this rebranded title, {{nihongo|'''''Yoshi no Panepon'''''|ヨッシーのパネポン|lit. "Yoshi's Panepon"}}, was released in Japan for the [[Satellaview]] [[satellite modem]] service.

Despite using the ''[[Tetris]]'' name, this game has no resemblance to its Russian namesake. This has led Henk Rogers of [[The Tetris Company]] to say that he regrets granting permission to Nintendo to use the name.<ref>Ben PerLee.

==Story==
The game's single-player story mode takes place in the world of Yoshi's Island, where Bowser and his minions have cursed all of [[Yoshi]]'s friends.  Playing as Yoshi, the player must defeat each of his friends in order to remove the curse.  Once all friends have been freed, the game proceeds to a series of Bowser's minions, and then to Bowser himself.  During these final matches, the player can select Yoshi or any of his friends to play out the stage.

==Gameplay==
{{main|Puzzle League (series)#Gameplay}}

In ''Tetris Attack'', the player is presented with a playfield consisting of a virtual grid of squares, each of which can be occupied by a colored block.  Blocks are stacked on top of one another and rise steadily toward the top of the playfield, with new blocks being added at the bottom.  The player must arrange blocks in horizontal or vertical lines of three or more matching colors by swapping blocks horizontally two at a time.  As matching lines are formed, the blocks are cleared from the screen and any blocks above them fall into the gaps.  The game is over when the blocks touch the top of the playfield, or another game-ending condition is met (such as reaching a time limit or clearing blocks below a set line).

Clearing more than three tiles in a single move scores a Combo, while Chains are scored when falling blocks from one clear cause another clear to occur.  Both of these events score extra bonus points, and in multiplayer Versus games, these also send "garbage blocks" to the other player's playfield.

''Tetris Attack'' provides several [[single-player video game|single-player mode]]s.  Story Mode takes the player through the game's main plot, pitting the player against a series of foes in a head-to-head match.  The objective is to cause the computer-controlled player to lose.  In Endless Mode, the player is challenged to play as long as possible with a continuously rising stack of blocks, which increases in speed over time.  Timed Mode challenges the player to score as many points as possible within a two-minute time limit, and Stage Clear mode takes the player through a series of stages in which the objective is to clear blocks below a set line.  A Puzzle Mode is also provided, which presents the player with a number of puzzles where he or she must clear all of the blocks in a set number of moves (Blocks do not rise in this mode).

In addition to the game's single-player modes, ''Tetris Attack'' also provides several multiplayer modes that are essentially two-player variants of the single-player modes.  One or both human players may be substituted with a computer-controlled player with a selectable difficulty level.

In the main story mode, there are six different endings, obtained through the difficulty setting. '''Ending E''' is obtained from beating Easy mode, '''Ending D''' is obtained by beating Normal mode, '''Ending C''' is obtained by beating Hard mode, but dying at least one time, '''Ending B''' is obtained from beating Hard mode without dying, '''Ending A''' is obtained by beating Very Hard mode, but dying at least one time, and '''Ending S''' is obtained from beating Very Hard mode without dying, the later being the hardest and best ending of the game. The only thing that changes is the final Headlines and cutscenes.

==Differences from ''Panel de Pon''==

Aside from several new tracks based on ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', all of the in-game music in ''Tetris Attack'' remains unchanged from ''Panel de Pon''.  The ''Tetris Attack'' title theme is an arrangement of the title theme for ''Yoshi's Island'', and Yoshi's theme and the Game Over screen are both arrangements of the Story Music Box theme from the same game.  The original ''Panel de Pon'' tracks that were replaced are still present in the ROM code, and are accessible within the game's music test mode in the options screen, but were unused in the game itself.

The original ''Panel de Pon'' soundtrack was scored by Masaya Kuzume. The music tracks from ''Yoshi's Island'' were arranged by ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' composer [[Yuka Tsujiyoko]]. The demo theme is "Lip's Theme", which would later be remixed for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

''Tetris Attack'' uses punctuation marks in passwords, but ''Panel de Pon'' does not. Unlike ''Tetris Attack'', ''Panel de Pon'' does not offer the opportunity to enter passwords in single-player versus mode.

Additionally, ''Tetris Attack'' introduces a [[cheat code]] to the single-player versus menu that allows the player to unlock the game's bosses as playable characters.  Also, the [[artificial intelligence|AI]] characters in ''Tetris Attack'' are more advanced at the higher difficulties than in ''Panel de Pon''.
