'''The Tetris Company, Inc.''' is a joint venture between Tetris Holdings LLC and Blue Planet Software that owns the exclusive rights to the ''[[Tetris]]'' brand and handles licensing with third parties, similar to {{s|bulbapedia|The Pokémon Company}}. The origins of the company can be traced back to the release of the first game in 1984. Due to Alexey Pajitnov, the creator of ''Tetris'', being a citizen of the Soviet Union, his creation was a property of the state and he saw no direct royalties for over a decade. After the fall of the USSR in 1991, the copyright for was rendered defunct, meaning anyone could make an official ''Tetris'' game without going to Alexey first. This led to a slew of games all made by different companies, most of which varying wildly in quality. Alexey wished to regain the rights to his creation to both get royalties and regulate game output of quality control. He founded Tetris Holdings LLC, and reached out to his friend and long-time business partner, Henk Rogers and his company Bullet-Proof Software, later renamed to Blue Planet Software, to split ownership of the brand.
The Tetris Company has worked with [[Nintendo]] several times, including games like ''Tetris DX'', ''Pokémon Tetris'', ''Tetris DS'' and ''Tetris 99''. All Tetris content in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is also owned by The Tetris Company.

===In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''===
{{SSBUMusicLink|Other|Tetris: Type A}} and {{SSBUMusicLink|Other|Tetris: Type B}} return as music tracks, now only playing on stages with music listed in the "Other" and, as of version 8.1.0, "Super Smash Bros." categories.
Five spirits depicting different Tetrimino shapes were also added via the [[Attack of the Tetriminos!]] [[Spirit Board]] event. The singular spirits include the I, T, and O shapes, while shared spirits include the S & Z shapes and the L & J shapes.
