Items in Tetris Party affect your or your opponent's gameplay in some way. Each player has an item queue that holds up to three items, which can be activated at any time. Newly collected items are placed at the end of the queue. If the queue is full when you collect an item, the oldest item in the queue is removed.

In VS Battle, VS Hot Lines, and Wi-Fi battles, items are collected by clearing lines containing an Item Block (Tetris Party Item Block.png). Only one Item Block exists at a time per player, either in the stack or in the active, falling Tetrimino. An Item Block appears or changes position after every ten Tetrimino drops.

In Field Climber and VS Field Climber, you receive a Line Kick item whenever the climber collects a flag (Tetris Party flag.png).
