Almost all pyramid chains after the first use a variant of the format where the match will "close" (go back to one round per layer). This is visualized loosely as follows: | |||

The [[Pyramid Chain 1|very first Pyramid Chain]] was originally known as the "YTP Pyramid Chain Collab", hosted by {{MycroProcessor}} and ran from July 20th to September 23rd, 2008. <ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/41-collabs-completed/11966-ytp-pyramid-chain-finally-complete/</ref> The second collab released in 2009, and the third began in 2010 but never had an official ending. The format was not attempted again until 2024 when [[mrdoognoog's Pyramid Chain|a new one was hosted]] by {{mrdoognoog}}. This began a revival of the format which includes a "modified" pyramid chain by HanabiTenns, a 3D pyramid chain by {{Yottifferent}}, and {{NESfanboi}}'s "Tile Tennis", both starting in 2025 and going into the present day. | |||
