2. Introduction
***************

The game of Tetris has been around for over 20 years now, and remains one of
the best puzzle games ever.  This version of the game, for the Nintendo DS,
includes some new features and modes, including Push, Touch, and Catch.  And
each mode has a different theme, based on a different Nintendo game/series.
The game also features online play through Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, which is
quite fun.

This FAQ will deal with the Puzzle mode, which has the Yoshi's Cookie theme.
Keep in mind that this FAQ contains solutions to the puzzles, and this is meant
for those who are just plain stuck at certain puzzles and just can't figure it
out.

DISCLAIMER: If you do not wish to be spoiled, and you want to figure these out
on your own, I STRONGLY recommend that you do NOT read any further.  I take no
responsibility if someone decides to use this to cheat their way through Puzzle
mode for some reason.

Before we get into this, I should explain how I show the solutions.  I'll be
using small ASCII pics of the Tetriminos (which is what the game refers to the
pieces as) here, as I figure it is the best way to show the solutions for this
mode of the game.  And it's not enough to say which order the Tetriminos should
go in; rotation is important as well.  Also, since the game automatically
decides where a Tetrimino goes when selected, it is only necessary to mention
the order in which to select them, and how they should be rotated.

Here is an example of a solution:

XXX.  **  *   **
       *  **  **
       *  *

Basically, what this says is to start with the L-shaped Tetrimino, turning it
so the long part is pointing down.  Then, pick the T-shaped Tetrimino, turning
it so the T is sideways, laying on its left side.  And finish with the box-
shaped Tetrimino.

(After reading that explanation, I bet you can see why I'm using ASCII pics for
this.)

Okay, so without further adieu, here are the solutions...

4. Extra Notes
**************

-First of all, I should mention that I have gone through Puzzle mode and solved
 every single one of these puzzles myself.  And as I recorded these solutions
 while going through it, I tried my best to ensure that they are accurate, and
 that they do indeed work.  However, I realize that I'm not perfect, so there
 is a chance that I may have made a mistake or two with some of these.  If you
 think you see a mistake, let me know.

-I realize that some of these solutions seem awkward once you see the puzzles.
 Before trying it, you might think to yourself, "How can that possibly work?
 That just seems wrong!"  All I have to say is, "Just try it.  You may be
 surprised to see how well it works."  And who knows, you might learn a trick
 or two to use in the other modes.  But if you do try it, and it doesn't work,
 then I might have made a mistake.  Let me know about it in that case.

-There may be a possibility that a few of these puzzles have alternate
 solutions not noted in this FAQ.  If there is, let me know about it.  I'll try
 it for myself, and if it works, then in a future update, I'll note it and give
 you credit for it.
