Tetris 2 Puzzle Mode Guide v1.0 By Dragon Fogel (knearey@ualberta.ca) - Version History - 1.1 Fixed every typo I could find, and added a section with just the stage passwords. 1.0 First version. I don't see a lot of potential to add to it, unless I find out about some interesting alternate solutions to these. - Introduction - This is a guide for finishing all 100 puzzles in Tetris 2's puzzle mode. There were no guides for this that I could find at all, so I figured out every single puzzle on my own to write this guide. Hopefully you'll find it helpful if you're stuck on a puzzle. - Basic Rules of Puzzle Mode - Here, I'll list the basics of what you need to do in puzzle mode. There's also a few things here that aren't obvious at first, like the line-of-six rule. If you already know all of this, feel free to skip straight to the puzzle solutions. Line up three or more blocks of the same color (red, blue or yellow) either horizontally or vertically to make them disappear. Your goal in each stage is to clear the three flashing blocks at the bottom using only the few pieces given to you. There are basically three kinds of blocks. Solid blocks will fall if not connected to other solid blocks. All falling pieces are made up of these types of blocks. Floating blocks stay in place no matter what. Flashing blocks are your targets; when you clear all three, one for each color, you win the stage. When you clear a flashing block, all floating blocks of the same color disappear. Any solid blocks on top of them will fall down. You'll get a lot of use out of this fact... If you clear a row/column of six blocks at once, all the normal blocks of that color will disappear. There are a number of stages where you'll need to do this, and there are a few where you need to *avoid* doing this or you'll mess up the whole stage because the flashing block will be around, but there won't be any normal blocks to clear it with. If a piece has multiple sections, after one section lands, you'll be able to control the remaining section(s). You'll be doing this a lot of the time, and you'll often need to be careful about where you drop each of the sections off. (On the other hand, sometimes you don't.) Also, you probably know this if you've played the original Tetris, but you have a moment after a falling piece hits an existing block before it locks in place, and you can still control it at this time. No big news flash to most of you, but you'll be doing this a lot, so if you didn't know about it, now you do. -Puzzle Solutions- Here we are, what you're presumably reading this FAQ for. Hopefully my explanations are clear enough for you to follow when you get to whatever stage you're stuck on. You can use the stage select to start directly from any stage from 1 to 30. For stages after that, you'll need passwords, which I've supplied in the guide itself. No password has an O in it, only zeroes (0). In case you forget or don't read this, though, I've still pointed it out at each password with a zero. Stage 1: About as basic as it gets. Rotate the piece horizontally with the red blocks on the left and drop so that the red and yellow blocks line up with the red and yellow flashing blocks. The rest will take care of itself. Stage 2: Rotate the piece so the yellow section is at the top, then drop it so that the loose red and blue blocks land on the yellow floating blocks. Let the yellow section just drop. Stage 3: Rotate the piece so that the blue block is at the bottom, and move it between the blue and red flashing blocks. Stage 4: Drop the blue/red section (blue side down) onto the stack with the red flashing block at the bottom. Then either let the yellow section drop or move it to match vertically with the yellow flashing block. Stage 5: Here's the first stage where you need to get six-in-a-row to get through. Rotate so the long side is on the left, and drop onto the blue block beside the yellow flashing block. You'll get a line of six from this. This will get rid of the remaining yellow blocks, and the rest takes care of itself. Stage 6: Another simple stage. Rotate the piece so that one or both of the yellow blocks are at the bottom. Drop so that the yellow block(s) are next to the solid yellow blocks at the bottom of the stage. Stage 7: Here's the first stage with two pieces. First piece - Rotate so that the long side is on the right. Drop on top of the red flashing block. Second piece - Rotate so the long side is on the right. Drop on top of the first piece so the blue and yellow blocks match up. Stage 8: First piece - Rotate so the long side is at the bottom. Drop it so that the red block lands on the flashing red block. Second piece - Rotate so the long side is at the top. Drop it so that the yellow and blue blocks line up with the yellow and blue blocks from the first piece. Stage 9: First piece - Rotate so the red section is at the bottom. Drop it so that the yellow and blue blocks are in the same columns as the flashing blocks of the same colors. Move the red section to clear the flashing red block. Second piece - Rotate so the red section is at the bottom. Drop it so that the blue block lands above the blue flashing block. Don't move any of the sections. Stage 10: Rotate so that the yellow block is at the bottom and drop it down the left edge of the stage. Stage 11: Rotate so the long side is at the top. Drop it with the center blue block in the same column as the flashing red block. Stage 12: First piece - Rotate it so the red block is at the bottom and drop it on top of the stack with the flashing yellow block. Second piece - Rotate it so the yellow block is at the bottom and drop on the stack with the flashing red block. Third piece - Rotate so that the yellow block is at the bottom and drop on the stack with the flashing blue block at the bottom. Stage 13: Rotate the piece either way and drop it down the left side, then rotate again so that the red side is on the left and the blue side is on the right. Drop it between the red and blue flashing blocks to clear both at once. Stage 14: Rotate the piece so that the blue blocks are at the bottom, and drop it down the right side. Stage 15: Get the red section to land vertically on top of the red solid block on the right, then quickly move the blue section to land vertically on top of the blue solid block on the left side. Stage 16: Rotate the piece so that the red blocks are on the bottom, and drop it down in the gap between the two sections of blocks. Stage 17: Rotate the piece so that the blue blocks are on the top, and drop one space away from the right edge of the stage. Stage 18: Rotate the piece so that the yellow section is on the upper right. Drop so that the red/blue section lands on top of the yellow solid blocks in the middle. Stage 19: Rotate the piece so that the yellow section is on the upper right. Drop so that the red and blue blocks line up with the ones already in the middle, then quickly move the yellow piece one space to the left. Stage 20: Get the blue section of the piece to land horizontally on the far right side, then move the yellow section so it lands horizontally on the far left side. Stage 21: Rotate so that the blue section is on the upper-right. Maneuver the red/yellow section into the space between the red and yellow blocks on the left side, then drop the blue section on top of the flashing blue block. Stage 22: Get the red block to land on top of the two blue floating blocks on the far right side of the stage. Maneuver the rest of the piece to land with the blue side on top between the blue and yellow blocks in the far-right column. Stage 23: There are three sets of two red blocks down the middle of the stage. Rotate the piece so that the red section is on the lower-left and maneuver it on top of the middle pair of red blocks. Quickly rotate the yellow/blue section so the yellow block is on the left, (press A) and move it to drop directly on top of the red section. Stage 24: Rotate the piece so the yellow section is at the top. Drop the red block at the top of the column to the right of the red flashing block. Drop the blue block at the top of the column one space away from the right edge. Maneuver the yellow section to line up horizontally with the yellow flashing block. Stage 25: Drop the red blocks vertically one column to the left of the flashing red block. Maneuver the blue blocks to land horizontally between the floating blue blocks in the middle. Stage 26: This stage is more about how you drop the piece than where you drop it. You need to maneuver the piece through the narrow gaps without getting the sections to separate too early. You want to maneuver the blue blocks to line up horizontally with the second set of blue blocks from the top on the right side, and you want to do this while the red/yellow section is still attached. Once you manage this, just drop the red/yellow section to match up with the blocks immediately below. To maneuver the piece properly, first rotate it so that the "corner" between the sections is on the lower-right, then drop it carefully through the first gap. Now rotate it clockwise (with A) once and move quickly to the right as far as possible before it locks in. Stage 27: Rotate so the blue section is on the lower-right, and drop it to land vertically between the red and yellow blocks on the right side. Maneuver the red/yellow section to land between the two structures, lined up to match with the blocks to the sides. (As well as the blocks below, but there will be later stages where this isn't the case.) Stage 28: Interestingly, there's no need to rotate either piece at all here. (Been a while since we had more than one piece, hasn't it?) First piece - Drop on the left side of the stack, with the yellow block on top of the second solid yellow block from the top. Second piece - Drop it down the right side of the stack, again with the yellow block on top of the second solid yellow block from the top. Stage 29: First piece - Rotate so the yellow blocks are both on the top (default position). Drop it so the red block lands on the left column of two solid red blocks. Second piece - Rotate so the blue blocks are both on the top (again, default position). Drop it so the red block lands on the remaining column of solid red blocks. Third piece - Rotate it so the yellow blocks are at the bottom and drop it on top of the stack with the flashing red block at the bottom. Stage 30: First piece - Drop it vertically on top of the flashing blue block. This makes a line of six, so all the normal blue blocks will be cleared. Second piece - Drop it vertically on top of the flashing yellow block. Again, a line of six. The red flashing block will get taken care of after this. Now you've passed the point where you can use the stage select, so you'll need passwords in order to start at these stages if you aren't playing through the whole thing. As I noted earlier, there are no passwords with O's in them, only zeroes (0). Stage 31: Password - FT? This is another stage where you need to be sure to maneuver the piece properly. First, rotate it so that the blue section section is at the upper-right. Maneuver the red section horizontally between the red floating blocks. Now maneuver the blue section horizontally between the blue floating blocks. The resulting lines of six will finish the job. Stage 32: Password - N7? Line-of-six comes into play again here. First piece - Rotate so that the red section is on the upper-right, and drop the blue/yellow section so the blue block is in the same column as the flashing blue block. Let the red section drop after that. Second piece - Drop it horizontally beside the flashing red block to make a line of six. Stage 33: Password - 48N Once again, line-of-six. Evidently they want you to get used to this rule. =P Anyways, rotate so the yellow section is at the upper-left. Drop on the right edge, then when the red/blue section locks in, manuever the yellow section to the very bottom and drop it right beside the other yellow blocks there. Line-of-six, red flashing block gets taken care of in another line-of-six, blue blocks fall nicely into place. Stage 34: Password - 8QN Guess what trick this stage uses? Yep, line-of-six again. First piece - Rotate so the red blocks are at the bottom, and drop so the red blocks are two spaces right of the flashing red block. Second piece - Rotate so the red blocks are at the top. Drop so the blue blocks land on the left side of the blue blocks from the first piece. The blue blocks will clear, and lines of six will take care of the rest. Stage 35: Password - 48R If you thought that was the last line of six puzzle for a while, you were wrong. You get to do it once again. First piece - Drop it horizontally, with the red blocks both on top of the stack in the middle. Doesn't matter which side the yellow blocks are on. Second piece - Same as the first, only put the yellow blocks on the other side. Third piece - Sectional, yay! Drop the blue section vertically on the far right side, and move the red section on top of the red blocks you dropped down the middle. The red blocks will clear, the yellows will form a line of six, and the rest takes care of itself. Stage 36: Password - 8QR More lines-of-six fun. This time, though, you need to *avoid* making a line of six with the blue blocks. Rotate the piece so that the red section is at the upper-right. Maneuver the blue section between the top pairs of blue blocks on the left side. This will prevent a line-of-six with the blue blocks later on. As for the red section, just line it up to clear the red flashing block. The yellow and red blocks will form lines of six, but the blue ones won't, and the blue flashing block will be taken care of after the red blocks disappear. Stage 37: Password - 2F2 No lines-of-six here. But you haven't seen the last of them. First piece - Rotate so the yellow section is at the bottom. Drop so that the yellow section falls between the two floating blocks at the top. This puts the other blocks in the right places as well. Second piece - Rotate so the red blocks are at the bottom and move it between the red and blue floating blocks above the yellow flashing block. The falling pieces will take care of the rest. Stage 38: Password - XS2 Easier than it looks. Rotate the piece so that the blue block is at the upper-left, and drop the yellow blocks onto the floating yellow blocks above the flashing blue block. Now quickly move the blue section one space to the right so it lands on top of the other section. Not so tough, but also a bit easy to overlook. Stage 39: Password - 2FK First piece - Drop the red section vertically on the far right, on top of the solid red block. Drop the blue section on top of the solid blue blocks just below. This takes care of the yellow flashing block. Second piece - Pretty much the same thing. Drop the yellow section vertically on top of the solid yellow block on the far left, and drop the blue section on top of the solid blue blocks. This takes care of the red flashing block, with the blue following shortly. Stage 40: Password - XSK First piece - Drop the long section vertically on the far right, with the blue block at the bottom. Move the red block to land on the second yellow floating block from the left. Second piece - Rotate so the long side is at the left. Drop down the left edge. The red blocks should line up with the loose red block from the first piece. Stage 41: Password - S8N First piece - Drop the blue section horizontally on top of the yellow blocks in the upper-right. Move the red section vertically above the lone yellow floating block. Second piece - Drop the yellow section vertically on top of the red blocks in the upper-left. Drop the blue section vertically between the floating and solid blue blocks just below that. Stage 42: Password - 0QN (that's a zero) Drop the blue section vertically on top of the solid yellow block at the top of the stage. Drop the yellow section horizontally beside the floating yellow block just under it. Enjoy the chain reaction. Stage 43: Password - S8R Rotate so that the yellow section is on the upper-right. Drop the red section to land with the left side at the top of the column with the yellow flashing block. Drop the yellow section to line up with the two horizontal yellow floating blocks; doesn't matter if you do it horizontally or vertically. Stage 44: Password - 0QR (zero again) First piece - Drop the long section vertically in the same column as the flashing red block, red side down. Move the yellow block all the way to the left and move it right next to the flashing yellow block before it locks in. Second piece - Drop the long section vertically in the same column as the flashing blue block, blue side down. Move the yellow block all the way to the left and next to the yellow block from the first piece. Stage 45: Password - QF2 First piece - Drop the yellow section vertically on top of the solid red blocks on the left, and the red section vertically on top of the solid yellow blocks on the right. Second piece - Drop the long section vertically on top of the yellow blocks in the middle, yellow side down. Let the red block drop. Stage 46: Password - HS2 First piece - Drop vertically, red side down, in the column with the flashing blue block. Second piece - Drop vertically, blue side down, in the column with the flashing red block. Third piece - Drop vertically, blue side down, on the right edge. Stage 47: Password - QFK Line-of-six. Haven't seen that in a while. First piece - drop down vertically on the right side of the stack of solid red and yellow blocks. Second piece - Drop down vertically on the left side of said stack. This will result in the blues being taken out in a line of six. Third piece - Move vertically between the two red blocks on the remaining stack. Another line of six, eliminating the remaining red pieces and clearing the yellow flashing block. Stage 48: Password - HSK Four pieces? That's a new record. You'll also need to be careful with your lines of six again. Because you have a lot to keep track of, this is one of the toughest stages yet to figure out. First piece - Rotate so the red blocks are vertically arranged on the left side and fit them in the gap above the red flashing block. Second piece - Rotate so the blue blocks are vertical on the right side, and drop so the blue blocks land on the blue block from the first piece. This will clear all the normal blue and yellow blocks... but you still have two blue blocks in the remaining pieces, so the trick is to use them wisely. Third piece - Rotate so the yellow blocks are on the right side, drop down to the right of the stack of largely red blocks, and move it all the way left through the gap near the bottom. Fourth piece - Rotate so the yellow blocks are on the right side, and drop it so the red block lands on top of the stack of red blocks. Stage 49: Password - 4NQ This stage seems tricky, but it's just a matter of clearing a line of six. The designers must really like that move. =P First piece - Rotate so the long side is on the top, and drop it so the right side is one space away from the far-right edge. Second piece - Rotate so the red block is at the top by itself, and drop it so the blue blocks are in the middle of the two sets of blue blocks. Line of six now, watch it take care of the rest. Stage 50: Password - 80Q (zero) More line-of-six fun. First piece - Drop the blue section horizontally on the far right side, and drop the red section horizontally so there's a one space gap between them. Second piece - Rotate to vertical and drop down the far left. Line of six clears the yellows, and a chain reaction makes another line of six to clear the blues. Stage 51: Password - 4N0 (zero) You've made it halfway through - and considering that, this is something of a break. First piece - Rotate vertically with the yellow blocks at the bottom and drop down at the far left. Second piece - Drop the blue section, either horizontally or vertically, so that it lands with at least one block in the column to the right of the flashing blue block. Maneuver the red section between the red floating blocks. Pretty simple compared to some of the last few stages. Stage 52: Password - 800 (both zeroes) The solution's pretty simple here, too. First piece - Drop so that the blue blocks are horizontal over the central gap. Doesn't matter where the yellow blocks go. Second piece - Drop directly above the first piece in the same orientation, with the yellow blocks matching up. Stage 53: Password - 2RV It's been a while since the last one-piece puzzle. Of course, it's got multiple sections. Still, you should be getting the hang of these by now, and if you have, this isn't too hard. Drop both red blocks so that they line up with the existing columns of red blocks near the middle. (You'll need to make a quick move after one drops off and then drop the other.) Rotate the remaining section so the yellow block is on the left, and drop the yellow block on the stack of two yellow blocks. Sit back and watch the chain reaction. Stage 54: Password - X9V Yep, still relatively simple compared to some past puzzles. First piece - Rotate so the long side is on the right, and drop it down the far right side of the stage. After the chain reaction, there won't be much left. Second piece - drop the red section vertically on top of the pair of red blocks near the left edge of the stage. Drop the yellow section vertically on top of the yellow flashing block. Third piece - Rotate horizontally with the blue blocks on the left and drop between the remaining flashing blocks to clear both at once. Stage 55: Password - 2R! Okay, now this one's a bit tricky. The solution's still not too hard, though. First piece - Rotate so the red block is on the bottom (by itself) and drop so that the red block is in the right side of the two-space gap between two red blocks. Second piece - Rotate so the red block is on the bottom (again, by itself) and drop so that the red block is in the remaining space in that gap. Stage 56: Password - X9! Actually, pretty simple again. First piece - Rotate so the long side is on the bottom and drop along the right edge. Second piece - Rotate so the long side is on the left and drop along the far-left edge. Stage 57: Password - SNQ Another simple puzzle. First piece - Rotate so the red section is at the upper-right. Drop the blue/yellow section on the top right part of the huge stack, with the blue block on the right side. Let the red section drop. Second piece - Rotate so the blue block is on the top. Maneuver it to the bottom along the right side, dropping as close as you can to the red flashing block. Stage 58: Password - 00Q (both zeroes) Still pretty simple, though you'll need to use a line of six. First piece - Drop the yellow section vertically on top of the only available floating red blocks (needed to make a line of six after the second piece drops) and drop the blue section vertically in the column above the red flashing block. Second piece - Rotate vertically with the yellow blocks at the bottom. Drop down the gap just above the yellow flashing block. Stage 59: Password - SN0 (zero) One piece again. Rotate so the yellow and blue pieces are along the top, and drop the red blocks so they're above the flashing red block. Move right once the loose blocks start to fall - only the blue one will go this way, while the yellow falls where it needs to. Maneuver the blue block so it lands on top of the stack with the flashing blue block. Stage 60: Password - 000 (all zeroes; man, that's an easy password to remember =P) While there are two pieces here, you actually only need one. If you clear it this way, you get a special message saying "Wonderful ability!" and the fanfare for clearing Stage 100 plays when you win. You may want to try for this on your own before looking at the solution below. Just drop the first piece so the yellow and red blocks line up with the corresponding horizontal pairs of blocks in the middle of the structure. (To rotate it properly; rotate with A to get through the gap and then B, or vice-versa.) Everything will line up without need for the second piece. This is the only stage where I've found a solution that doesn't use the last piece; I've seen a few where one of the pieces wasn't needed, but since they drop in order, the last piece still wound up being used. Stage 61: Password - QRV First piece - Rotate so the blue section is on the lower-right. Drop the red section horizontally on top of the 4*4 set of red blocks in the upper right. Maneuver the blue section to right, to the bottom of the stage, and then as far left as you can. Second piece - Rotate vertically with the yellow side down. Drop one space away from the far left edge. Stage 62: Password - H9V First piece - Drop the yellow section horizontally on top of the red blocks on the left side of the stack. Move the red section to the gap on the right side, and maneuver it into place between the two sets of red blocks near the bottom of the stage. This will clear out the red flashing block. Second piece - Drop the yellow section horizontally on top of the yellow section from the first piece, and maneuver the red section to the gap in between the red blocks on either side of the stack. Stage 63: Password - QR! This stage is easier than it looks. First piece - Rotate so that the red section is at the lower-right. Drop the red secion at the right edge to avoid a stage-ruining line of six. Drop the blue section horizontally on top of the only available horizontal pair of floating blue blocks. Second piece - Drop it vertically, blue block at the bottom, down the gap between the sets of floating blue blocks. Stage 64: Password - H9! I was stumped for a while here. You need to set up to make a line of six with the blue blocks in the middle, and have the other blocks in place to finish. First piece - Rotate it so the blue section is on the lower-left. Drop it on top of the top pair of blue blocks, then quickly shift the yellow section two spaces left (keep it vertical). Second piece - Drop the red section vertically, right next to the yellow section from the first piece. Maneuver the blue section into the gap between the yellow floating blocks and the blue solid blocks. Third piece - Drop it vertically, red side down, on the right side of the big stack of blocks in the middle. Stage 65: Password - T19 First piece - Rotate so that the yellow block is on the bottom by itself, and drop it so the yellow block lands above the left floating red block. Second piece - Rotate so that the yellow block is on the bottom by itself, and drop it so the yellow block lands above the right floating red block. This results a line-of-six that proceeds to clear the rest. Stage 66: Password - 9V9 First piece - Drop the red section vertically at the top of the column with the flashing red block. Maneuver the blue section to land vertically on top of the flashing yellow block. Second piece - Drop the blue section vertically at the top of the column with the flashing blue block. Maneuver the red section to land vertically on top of the blue section from the first piece. Stage 67: Password - T1M Be careful with the third piece; making a line of six with it will screw you up. Aside from that, this is a pretty simple stage. First piece - Keep the long side on the bottom, and drop it so that the yellow blocks are in the same column as the yellow flashing block. Second piece - Keep the long side on the bottom and drop it so that the blue blocks are in the same column as the blue flashing block. Third piece - Drop it down the left side, vertically between the blue solid blocks. Stage 68: Password - 9VM This is easier than it looks. First piece - Rotate so the blue section is at the upper-left. Drop the yellow section vertically at the top of the column with the yellow flashing block. Drop the blue section vertically on the far left side of the stage. Second piece - Rotate so the blue section is at the upper-left. Drop the red section vertically on the far right. Maneuver the blue section vertically into the column with the yellow flashing block. Stage 69: Password - WZ5 First piece - Rotate so that the long side is on the right. Drop it with the long side one space away from the right edge. Second piece - Rotate so that the long side is on the left. Drop so the long side is one column to the right of the flashing blue block. Third piece - Drop it vertically on top of the flashing yellow block. It doesn't matter which side is up here. Stage 70: Password - BL5 First piece - Rotate so that the long side is on the top. Drop with the middle yellow block in the column with the red flashing block. Second piece - Rotate so that the long side is on the top. Drop with the middle blue block in the column with the yellow flashing block. Stage 71: Password - WZ1 Actually, this is pretty easy. First piece - You'll be dropping both sections at once. Rotate so the yellow section is at the lower-left, then maneuver it so that the yellow section is underneath the red solid blocks on the left side. Second piece - Again, you'll drop both sections at once. Rotate so the blue section is at the lower-right, then maneuver it so the blue section is underneath the yellow solid blocks on the right side. Stage 72: Password - BL1 Took me a while to figure out this stage, but it was one of those ones that felt incredibly obvious when I actually did it. First piece - Rotate so that the long side is at the bottom. Drop down the far left side. Second piece - Rotate so that the long side is at the bottom. Drop down the far right side. Third piece - Drop it horizontally between the first two pieces, with the red blocks on the left. Stage 73: Password - V19 Only one piece here, making it fairly simple. Rotate so that the red block is on the lower-right and drop it one column to the right of the flashing red block. Rotate the remaining section so the blue block is on the left and drop it so the blue block is one column to the left of the blue flashing block. Stage 74: Password - CV9 You may be tempted to make a line of six with the second piece, but you'll actually clear the red and blue flashing blocks with your first piece. First piece - Rotate so that the yellow blocks are on the bottom. Drop it so the short side is one column to the left of the flashing blue block. Second piece - Line it up with the yellow flashing block as you see fit. Stage 75: Password - V1M Pretty simple. First piece - Drop it vertically above the flashing blue block, with the blue blocks at the bottom. Second piece - Rotate it so the long side is on the left, and drop it one space away from the left edge of the stage. Stage 76: Password - CVM If you're getting used to the tricks here, this isn't too bad. First piece - Rotate so the long side is on the left and drop it one space away from the left edge of the stage. Second piece - Rotate so the long side is on the right and drop it one space away from the right edge of the stage. Third piece - Drop horizontally between the first two pieces, with the yellow blocks on the left. Stage 77: Password - 5Z5 First piece - Drop the red section vertically in the same column as the flashing red block. Drop the yellow section vertically in the same column as the flashing yellow block. Second piece - Drop vertically, blue side down, to the left of the red section from the first piece. Stage 78: Password - ?L5 ...that's a lot of blocks. A line-of-six will go a long way here... First piece - Rotate so the red block is alone on the bottom. Drop it so the red block is in the same column as the flashing yellow block. Second piece - Rotate so the red block is alone on the bottom. Drop it so the red block is one column to the right of the blue flashing block. Third piece - Rotate so the red blocks are horizontally aligned. It doesn't matter which way up they are. Drop it between the sets of red blocks and watch as the lines of six eliminate everything but the flashing blue and red blocks. Good thing we still have a piece left, isn't it? Fourth piece - You should be able to figure this one out, but for the sake of completeness... Rotate so the blue blocks are on the right side and drop them above the blue flashing block. Stage 79: Password - 5Z1 One piece here. No problem. Drop the yellow section vertically in the same column as the yellow flashing block. Maneuver the red section to land horizontally between the red blocks in the bottom row. Watch the lines of six do their work. Stage 80: Password - ?L1 First piece - Rotate horizontally with the yellow blocks on the right, and manuever just below the red floating blocks on the right side. Second piece - Rotate horizontally with the red blocks on the left, and manuever just below the red floating blocks on the left side. Stage 81: Password - TW6 Since you have four pieces, and not many blocks already there, this is pretty easy. (It wouldn't surprise me if there was a way to do it with fewer pieces...) First piece - Drop the red section horizontally somewhere on the far left side. Drop the yellow section horizontally beside the flashing yellow block. Second piece - Drop the yellow section horizontally somewhere on the far right side. Drop the red section horizontally beside the flashing red block. Third piece - Rotate so the long side is on the right. Drop one space away from the left edge of the stage. Fourth piece - Rotate so the long side is on the left. Drop at the left edge of the stage. Stage 82: Password - 926 First piece - Rotate so the red blocks are vertically aligned on the right. Drop down the far left edge. Second piece - Rotate so the blue blocks are vertically aligned on the left. Drop down the far right edge. Third piece - Drop the blue section horizontally on top of the solid blue blocks on the left, and the red section horizontally on top of the solid red blocks on the right. Stage 83: Password - TWZ You need to make a line of six here, but you need to set up properly first to get rid of the blue flashing block. First piece - Rotate so the long side is on the right. Drop one space away from the left edge of the stage. Second piece - Rotate so the long side is on the bottom. Drop at the right edge of the stage. Stage 84: Password - 92Z This one had me stumped for quite a while. First piece - This piece isn't necessary. Either drop it on the red flashing block, or someplace where it won't do anything. Second piece - Rotate so the long side is on top. Drop it so the blue block is above the blue flashing block. Third piece - Drop the yellow block on top of the yellow block from the second piece. Quickly rotate (with A!) and drop the blue block on top of the blue block from the second piece. Drop the red section horizontally beside the stack on the left side. Fourth piece - Rotate so the red blocks are vertically aligned on the left. Drop so that the yellow blocks are above the flashing yellow block. Stage 85: Password - WK4 First piece - Rotate so that the yellow blocks are vertically aligned on the left. Drop with the yellow blocks in the same column as the flashing yellow block. Second piece - Rotate so the red blocks are on the lower-right. Drop the red section vertically at the right edge of the stage. (this sets up for a line of six). Maneuver the blue section to land vertically between the floating blue blocks and the solid blue block. Stage 86: Password - B64 This was one tricky stage for me. First piece - Rotate so the long side is on the left. Drop it with the long side one column to the right of the flashing red block. Second piece - Rotate so the long side is on the right. Drop it with the long side one column to the left of the flashing blue block. Third piece - Not needed. Just put it somewhere off to the side. Fourth piece - Drop the red section vertically between the floating and solid red blocks on the left. Drop the blue section vertically between the floating and solid blue blocks on the right. Stage 87: Password - WKP *Five* pieces! Haven't seen that before. It looks tricky, but if you look at what sections of the layout match up with the colors of the pieces, you might be able to figure it out. First piece - Rotate it so that the blue block is on the left, and drop it straight down the middle. (With the two middle blocks on top of the two-column stack of floating blocks in the middle.) Second piece - Rotate it so that the blue block is on the left, and drop it straight down the middle. Third piece - Rotate it so that the red side is on the left, and drop it right down the middle. Fourth piece - Rotate it so that the yellow side is on the left, and drop it right down the middle. Fifth piece - Rotate it so that the yellow block is on the bottom, and drop it on the right side of the stack of floating blocks. Stage 88: Password - B6P From five pieces down to two. This is actually rather obvious if you've gotten this far... First piece - Rotate so the long side is at the bottom, and drop it so the red blocks are on top of the solid blue blocks in the middle of the stage. Second piece - Rotate so the long side is at the bottom, and drop it so the red blocks are on top of the solid red blocks in the middle of the stage. Stage 89: Password - VW6 Another easy one. Man, are they not trying, or am I just getting used to their tricks now? First piece - Rotate so the red block is on the right side by itself. Move to the right edge of the stage and let it drop. Second piece - Drop it so that the blue block lands on top of the blue blocks in the first piece. Third piece - Rotate it vertically with the blue side down and drop down the left edge. (Maybe there's a solution with less pieces here I'm missing or something?) Stage 90: Password - C26 Yet another easy one! First piece - Rotate so the red blocks are vertically aligned on the right side. Drop so the red blocks are in the same column as the flashing yellow block. Second piece - Rotate so the red blocks are vertically aligned on the left side. Drop so the red blocks are in the column with the floating (not flashing!) red block on the bottom. Only ten to go after this! Stage 91: Password - VWZ ...well, I guess those last few easy stages were to give you a break before this one. Took me a while to figure it out, but I managed. First piece - Rotate so the yellow blocks are at the bottom and drop onto the blue solid blocks. Second piece - Rotate so the yellow blocks are at the top and drop to line up with the first piece. Third piece - Rotate so the blue blocks are at the bottom and drop on top of the second piece. Fourth piece - Drop the red/yellow section to line up with the red and yellow blocks from the third piece. Drop the blue section to line up with the solid blue blocks below all the pieces. Stage 92: Password - C2Z Another tricky one. First piece - Drop the blue section horizontally on top of the yellow and red solid blocks right in the middle. Hit B as soon as you hear the click to rotate the red/yellow section counterclockwise, then quickly move it left twice to drop it directly on top the blue section. Second piece - Rotate so that the long side is at the top, then drop so the yellow block is above the red block from the first piece. Third piece - Rotate so that the long side is at the top, then drop so the red block is above the yellow block from the first piece. Stage 93: Password - 5K4 This one could prove tricky, but I figured it out pretty fast, myself. First piece - Rotate so the long side is at the right and drop it down the far right edge. Second piece - Rotate so that the long side is at the left and drop it on the farthest left block. Third piece - Drop the blue section vertically one column to the left of the red flashing block, and drop the yellow section vertically one column to the right of the flashing blue block. Stage 94: Password - ?64 Wow. This is a pretty empty stage. Because of this and the fact there are only two pieces, it's not that hard. First piece - Rotate so that the blue blocks are on the bottom. Drop them onto the floating yellow blocks in the columns left and right of the flashing blue block. Drop the remaining section yellow side down onto the pair of solid yellow blocks. Second piece - Rotate so the blue block is at the lower-right. Drop it onto the one floating yellow block that doesn't already have a blue block on it. Drop the remaining section yellow side down onto the yellow flashing blocks. The blue flashing block will now be taken out in a line of six, resulting in the red flashing block being cleared. Stage 95: Password - 5KP Even if you're stumped, you'll probably find this just by experimenting. First piece - Rotate so the red blocks are at the bottom. Drop onto one of the free lower yellow floating blocks. Second piece - Rotate so the red blocks are at the bottom. Drop onto the remaining free lower yellow floating block. Third piece - Rotate so the red block is on the bottom and drop onto the solid red block. When the yellow block disconnects, move it all the way to the right and let it drop. Chain reactions and lines of six will take care of the rest. Only five stages to go! Stage 96: Password - ?6P This one's not really any trickier than other puzzles up to now. First piece - Rotate so the yellow block is at the bottom by itself. Drop it with the yellow block two columns left of the solid red block. Second piece - Rotate so the yellow block is at the bottom by itself. Drop it with the yellow block two columns right of the lone solid red block. Third piece - Rotate so the red blocks are on the bottom. Drop it so the middle section is right on top of the lone solid red block. Lines-of-six clear a lot of the blocks. Fourth piece - Rotate so that the red section is on the bottom. Drop it so the yellow and blue blocks are in the same columns as the respectively-colored flashing blocks, and let the red section drop. Stage 97: Password - JP7 This solution's a bit messy, but it works. There might be something better. First piece - Rotate so the yellow section is on the left, and drop it right next to the floating yellow block on the left stack. Move the blue block right above the red flashing block, and let the red block drop next to it. Second piece - Rotate so the yellow section is on the right, and drop it right next to the floating yellow block on the right stack. Move the red block right above the blue flashing block, and let the blue block drop next to it. Now you just have to take care of the yellow one. Third piece - Rotate so the blue block is on the left by itself. Drop it so the yellow blocks land on the floating yellow block three columns to the right of the flashing yellow block. Fourth piece - Rotate so that the blue block is on the bottom by itself. Drop so the blue block lands on the stack of two solid blue blocks near the yellow flashing block. Stage 98: Password - Z37 First piece - Drop the red section vertically in the same column as the flashing red block. Move the blue section left, and drop it vertically one column to the left of the flashing yellow block. Second piece - Rotate so the blue section is at the upper-right. Drop it so the red block is above the blue section from the first piece, and let the blue section drop. Third piece - Rotate so the blue section is at the upper-left. Drop the red/yellow section so it lands on the two solid blue blocks left of the flashing red block, and maneuver the blue section to line up with the flashing blue block. Stage 99: Password - JPH First piece - Drop the blue section vertically in the same column as the blue flashing block, and drop the red section vertically in the same column as the red flashing block. Second piece - Rotate so the blue blocks are on the top and drop down the right edge of the stage. Third piece - Rotate so the red blocks are on the top and drop down the left edge of the stage. Fourth piece - Rotate so that the red and blue blocks are on the bottom. Drop so the yellow blocks are in the same column as the yellow flashing block. Last stage! Stage 100: Password - Z3H You get a full five pieces here, and it's not really clear where to even begin... Well, it *is* the last stage, so what did you expect? It was about a week before I finally figured this out, though I wasn't focusing on it the whole time. However, as usual, the solution felt surprisingly simple when I *did* figure it out. For those of you who just want a hint - try messing around with the L-shaped pieces and the spaces right underneath the midair stacks. As for the solution: First piece - Rotate so that the long side is on the left. Move it to the left edge under the big stack in midair. Second piece - Rotate so that the long side is on the right. Maneuver it in between the left midair stack and the first piece. Third piece - Rotate so the red blocks are on the upper-right. Drop so that the red blocks are in the same column as the flashing red block. Fourth piece - Rotate so the long side is on the right. Move it to the right edge under the big midair stack. Fifth piece - Rotate so that the long side is on the left. Maneuver in between the right midair stack and the fourth piece. Watch one of the most impressive chain reactions in puzzle game history. Congratulations, you made it through! And what do you get? One last cinema scene and a "The End" message. Oh well, it was fun, and that's what counts. =P - Passwords - These are in the guide itself, but here's all of them in one place for your convenience. No password has an O, only zeroes (0).
