Remarks

Note that the last XX block type does not have its corresponding YY argument. In case of needing args, the original game will take OO as the arguments, which can break the game. The remaster will not allow placing augmented blocks in the last slot, and in case of having one when ported from the original game, the argument will be the remainder of its division by 4.
