* Beginner Tetris: The traditional game with larger blocks, a smaller play field and new Tetrominos such as a three-block line, a two-block line and a small three-block L-shape. The mode also supports the Wii Balance Board, with players leaning left and right to move the Tetromino, stepping forward to drop it, and squatting to quickly move it down.
* Co-op Tetris: Two players work together simultaneously on a double size play field to clear lines.
* Field Climber Mode: The player builds layers of blocks to help a tiny man reach the top of the screen. The mode is time-based, and also available in online versus play.
* Shadow Mode: Players must race to fill in a background image with Tetrominos, while not allowing any pieces to lie outside of the puzzle in the process. This mode will also feature new Tetromino shapes, and feature 30 puzzles.
* Stage Racer: The player guides a single Tetromino downward through a narrow twisting passage, being sure not to get it caught on the sides.
* Dual Spaces: A Reversi-inspired mode where players section off empty space, and gain points for every empty space they lock out by placing their Tetrominos to create larger areas of their own color.

The multiplayer versus modes will support up to four players offline and six players online through the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
