The special blocks

Red color is Attack blocks.
Green color is Defense blocks.

"A" - Add Line: This block will add a line to the player you choose.

"C" - Clear Line: This block will clear a line on your, or your teammates field depending on your choice.

"N"- Nuke Field : Clears all blocks in a field and lets the player start from scratch!

"R"- Random Blocks Clear : This one removes 10 random blocks from a field.

"S"- Switch Field : This switches your playing field with another player's field. If either of the fields' block stack is over 16 blocks high, the stack will be lowered.

"B"- Clear Special Blocks : Clears ALL special blocks from a field.

"G"- Gravity : This block takes all the blocks on the field and "pulls" them all towards the bottom of the field eliminating any gaps in the blockstack.

"Q"- Blockquake : This causes each of the lines of blocks on a players field to randomly shift left or right or not at all.

"O"- Block Bomb : When used on a player, it clears 3x3 portions on their field anywhere there are 'o' blocks. Any blocks that were in the 3x3 areas are scattered around the field.
