As with the traditional ''[[Tetris]]'' formula, players rotate and drop shaped bricks known as {{wp|tetromino|Tetriminos}} onto a board. Players can clear Tetriminos by completing rows across both sides, whereas players will lose if Tetriminoes overflow off the top of the board. As with modern ''Tetris'' rules, players have the option to store a Tetrimino piece to swap out at any time. By clearing multiple lines or performing continuous line clears in a row, players can send "Garbage" to other players, which will appear on their board unless they can quickly clear lines in response. More Garbage can be sent by completing combination moves in succession of making a "Tetris" (matching 4 lines at once) or performing a "T-Spin" (squeezing the T-Tetrimino into a position it would otherwise not fall into by rapidly rotating it). | ||
During gameplay, small grids representing the other 98 players are displayed at the sides of the main board. Players can either choose to target individual players, or have the computer automatically target other players based on one of four criteria: random players, those who are targeting the player, those who are close to being defeated, and those who possess badges. Badges are earned by knocking out a player with Garbage (or gray lines), which earns them a piece of a badge, along with any other badges or pieces that player had. The more badges a player completes and possesses, the more lines they can send to other players at a time (up to a 100% boost). At the end of a game, players will earn experience that will increase their level. | During gameplay, small grids representing the other 98 players are displayed at the sides of the main board.

In May 2019, paid downloadable content (DLC) was released for the game, named the Big Block DLC. The DLC adds 4 offline modes in total: Marathon, the traditional single-player ''Tetris'' mode where play continues until the stack reaches the top of the well; CPU Battle, where players battle 98 {{wp|Video game bot|bot players}}; Local Arena, where up to eight [[Nintendo Switch]] players play in the same arena via local wireless; and Two Player Share Battle, where two players share Joy-Con and play the same game in local co-op. | In May 2019, paid [[downloadable content]] (DLC) was released for the game, named the Big Block DLC.
