Why Tetris Effect: Connected (VR) rarely causes motion sickness
The playfield itself is fixed, which is why the rating is Comfortable, but a few stages animate the entire background into spirals and cloud spins that fill your peripheral vision. Peripheral motion is exactly what the balance system watches, so those specific stages can stir a stomach the rest of the game leaves alone. The linked thread names the cloud spinning stage as the worst offender.

The label describes the movement system rather than the whole experience, which is why this page pairs it with what players report.
