It’s based on the number of lines. The level is equal to the number of tens of lines + 1, once we have caught up with the level chosen at the start (if we start at level 5, we go to level 6 at the 60th line, if we start at 9 we go to 10 to the 100th line), and the speed increases with each level.
But I seem to have read that after a certain level it no longer accelerates. Never noticed in any case for my part, I never arrived sufficiently far (I must have arrived within 20)
+1. Moreover, even simply being on an emulator can allow you to do things that are not necessarily possible with the original console, either because the emulator has a slightly different behavior, or because it can have bugs that almost cannot appear under normal conditions on the console.
For example, I played it quite a bit at one time on an emulator on my phone, and I got into the habit of saving the state of the virtual console after a session, rather than “rebooting” it each time . After a while, Tetris started systematically giving me squares.
On GB, the shuttle is when you finish mode B (the one where you start with already pieces and holes and where you have to do 25 lines to win) with the height (of the pieces and holes already in place) at maximum. In normal mode, they are rockets, getting bigger and bigger at 100,000, 150,000 and 200,000 points.
On NES you have the shuttle in normal mode from 100,000 points (given the lower levels, I suppose that the NES version probably gives fewer points):
At Max it’s definitely Basile who takes off
