How to unlock the Marathon Silver Medal achievement in Tetris Evolution - Definitive Guide
The way I achieved this one was by using the following setup:
Mode: Marathon
Target: High Score
Start Level: 1
Fill Start: 8
Fill Rate: Low
Goal System: Variable
Lockdown: Infinite
The way I play is to clear the "filled" lines and go for as many Tetrises as possible. Whenever I find a 5-piece formation I always save it, switching to whatever else may fall. Always clearing lines, even when reaching the top of the screen. When I received this my total score was 335,000. I actually can't play this game for long periods because I seem to not blink while playing. That can wear ya out. Guess I'll be going for more Tetris at another time.

See "100,000 Marathon". This requires a lot more persistence and you will certainly be reaching the higher speeds. A lot of people say you should start off at the higher speeds to get more points but I disagree. If you start at level 1 you can get a lot of points from easy Tetrises before it naturally builds up to level 15 anyway.
