Has anyone else ever played "New Tetris" for N64 [0]? The major gameplay difference was that you could make large 4x4 squares made up of four pieces - gold if the 4x4 was made of all the same piece, silver if it was heterogeneous. Then you'd get 4 extra points for clearing a line that crossed a silver 4x4 and 10 extra points for a gold one (IIRC). And then there were bonuses if you managed to clear 4 lines containing one (or two!) complete 4x4.
That plus competitive multiplayer meant you were incentivized to stack things uncomfortably high while you waited for the right pieces to complete your gold 4x4's, and THEN clear lines containing the 4x4's.
