    Help Me Get Korobieniki Back in my Tetris

    Tetris has only one song for me: Korobieniki. You might know it as Type B from the original Game Boy cart: it's a traditional Russian folk song. You might also know Ozma's absolutely amazing cover of the song on their album, Doubble Donkey Disc. For me, a game just ain't Tetris unless Korobieniki's playing in the background.

    So I need some help here. I recently picked up Tetris DS and while the Super Mario Bros. and Zelda songs are pretty snappy replacements for Korobieniki, it just isn't the same. I did some searching on GameFAQ's, but I don't see any mention that Korobieniki might be an unlockable song on Tetris DS.

    But maybe it's just not up there. Maybe it's a crazy unlockable after you make 300 lines on Marathon. Does anyone know if it's anywhere on the cart, lying in wait as a reward for the endurance of my fast, fiddling fingers? If not, does anyone know if there's a GBA version of Tetris available that still has the song?
