How to Erase the Memory on Tetris DS

Since game cartridges for the Nintendo DS save data internally rather than in the console itself, it can create annoyance in games like Tetris if it was purchased used. The level progress of the game can be almost completed and the high score list might contain entries from the previous owner. To get that brand-new feeling back, you can reset the saved data.

Instructions

1. Turn on the NDS.

2. Start Tetris and immediately after push and hold the Left, Right and Select buttons. This combination must be performed before the game has finished loading.

3. Let go of the buttons just before you see the game menu.

4. Check the high-score list to confirm that it is empty.
