Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Tetris World Championship — The first Tetris World Championship was not held in 1990 in Tokyo, Japan; the first Classic Tetris World Championship was held in 2010 in Los Angeles, California, USA.

Tetris World Championship — The first champion was not Nobuo Nakamura; the first CTWC champion in 2010 was Jonas Neubauer.

TETRA League — The TETRA League is not a widely recognized official canon entity alongside the Tetris World Championship; there is no established 'TETRA League' in official Tetris competitive history.

TETRA League — Soft-drop standardization is not a notable historical event in Tetris competitive canon; soft-drop mechanics have been consistent across official Tetris games and not a specific introduction that reshaped the meta.

Tetris: The Grand Master — The game 'Tetris: The Grand Master' described here does not exist in real Tetris history. The actual 'Tetris: The Grand Master' series is an arcade-only series developed by Arika, starting in 1998, with no official releases on PlayStation 4 or Nintendo Switch,

Tetris: The Grand Master — The developer 'Headlock' and publisher 'Xseed Games' are incorrect for any real Tetris: The Grand Master title. The real series was developed by Arika and published by Capcom (for arcade) or Arika themselves.

Tetris Effect — Tetris Effect was released in 2018, not 2019

Tetris Effect — Tetris Effect was developed by Monstars Inc. and Resonair, not Qubic (Qubic is the publisher)

Speedrun records — The governing body for speedrun records is not the Tetris Company; records are primarily governed by community-driven platforms like Speedrun.com or Twin Galaxies, not directly by the Tetris Company.

Back-to-back combos — The entry states that the B2B multiplier is 'commonly 1.5× on the base score of each qualifying clear.' In the official Tetris Guideline (and most modern titles like Tetris Effect and Tetris 99), the B2B bonus adds a flat 300 points to the base score of a T-sp

Back-to-back combos — The entry lists 'All or Nothing' as a competitive format where B2B is a primary differentiator. 'All or Nothing' is not a standard competitive format in official Tetris tournaments (e.g., Classic Tetris World Championship or Tetris Effect World Championship);

Henk Rogers — The entry says Henk Rogers graduated from Stuyvesant High School in 1972, but he actually graduated in 1971.

Henk Rogers — The entry claims he met his future wife Akemi while studying at the university, but he met her in Japan after moving there.

Nintendo — The claim that Nintendo's game consoles have sold over 860 million units worldwide as of May 2025 is unverifiable and likely incorrect; official data through March 2024 shows around 850 million, and the projection to May 2025 is speculative.

Nintendo — The statement that Nintendo has sold more than 5.9 billion individual games as of May 2025 is unverifiable and likely inaccurate; official data through March 2024 reports approximately 5.6 billion software units sold.
