Torikan (トリカン) is a term for a feature that exists in the Tetris The Grand Master series and inspired games, particularly in TAP and Ti. It refers to a condition where the game reaches a premature end when the player failed to fulfill a certain requirement up to that point. It was first introduced in TAP's Death mode, where the game entered a false ending if the player reached level 500 too slowly (in reality, the game could go on until level 999). Later modes, like Ti's Shirase mode, contain multiple torikan cutoff points.
Etymology
The term torikan is an abbreviation of the Japanese phrase とりあえずカンスト(toriaezu kansuto), which translates to "maxed out for the time being". カンスト (kansuto) itself is yet another abbreviation of カウンターストップ (kauntaa sutoppu, counter stop), the Japanese term for "maxing out". In this case the term is referring to the level counter.
