This article has a talk page!Tetrisphere is best described as "what Tetris would look like if it were in first-person view". It also features some really trippy visuals, and the soundtrack...oh boy.

Regional Differences#
Removed Track#
The song "Flim Flam" is not present in the European version. The Brick variation which used this song now uses "Extol" instead, which is also the song that replaced it on the Audio menu.
Playing "Prophetic" During Gameplay#
Normally, if you change the music selection to Choose in the Audio menu, the game will not allow the track "Prophetic - Title" to play. However, a glitch in the European version causes the song to play if the player loops through the list by pressing D-Right after the last song. This is the only way the song can be played in-game, though the game will change the song to "Azule Lux" every time a new level is loaded.
This is most likely caused by the game trying to play "Extol", as it was the last track in the US version. Since its placement was changed, the game loops the list and plays "Prophetic" instead.
