I've also found a possible incorrect clone:

• Super Tetris 2 + Bombliss - Genteiban | there was a different set of levels added https://tetris.wiki/Super_Tetris_2_%2B_Bombliss

Retool now catches the Bubsy Two-Fur titles. I've reported the Trials of Mana title to No-Intro (they shouldn't be combining the date with the Collection of Mana tag).

Super Tetris 2 + Bombliss - Genteiban | there was a different set of levels added

This is one of those times I need to make a judgement call as to whether something should be considered a clone or not. For background, Bombliss is essentially Tetris, where one or more squares of a block are replaced with a bomb. When you eliminate a line containing a bomb, it explodes, taking out blocks around it. Unlike typical Tetris, there are already blocks on screen that you have to deal with when the stage starts. If you take out all the blocks on screen, you progress to the next stage.

For the Bombliss portion, Super Bombliss, Super Tetris 2 + Bombliss, and Super Tetris 2 + Bombliss - Genteiban are essentially the same game with the same mechanics. However, the starting stages in each game have a different arrangement of blocks to each other.

I don't have the capacity to play through each of these games to find out if the stages are completely different between all three, a shuffling of order, or if one is a true superset of the other. Given this, I'm going to split them apart for now and they can stand alone.
