A twist on the puzzle genre that it a little Tetris with a Mario twist. While It can't match up to the challenge, for a puzzle game with a Mario brand, it does a good enough job for entertainment purposes.

Not My Favorite

I'm not sure why, but I never really could into this game. I think part of the problem was I was expecting a better version of Tetris, but all I got was a different one. This one definitely had better multiplayer capabilities than Tetris (which I don't think had any) - but that doesn't help much when your trying to entertain yourself. I preferred columns for the Genesis over this one.

Not As Good As Tetris, But Still Fun

A puzzle game like Tetris but with its own original flare. You kill viruses with pills by matching colors four in a row. If this game were created today, it'd be an online sensation. The more advanced level you choose, the more viruses to get rid of. The one advantage this game has over Tetris, I think the 2 player mode is more competitive and fun. When you get double or triple combos, you send random pills down on your competitor screwing up their strategy. With that said, Tetris still tops the puzzle list.
