Product Description

Platform: Game Boy

Manufacturer Description

In this fast-paced Tetris-style puzzle game it's you against the viruses. The viruses have taken over the lab and you must match them with vitamins to zap them out of existence.

Product Description

Cartridge with Instructions Puzzle action game from Nintendo, starring the company's main mascot. In Dr. Mario, players rotate "pill" pieces as they fall, attempting to clear their screen without spilling over the top. Each stage has a specific number of viruses that must be eliminated instead of simply playing until you die. Each falling block is composed of two colored pieces, and lining up four or more of the same color (either horizontally or vertically) will zap them from your screen. The idea, of course, is to try and make sure you take one of those ugly virus blobs with you as you stack the colors. Once all the viruses have been cleared, players move on to the next stage -- featuring more viruses and faster pieces. Needless to say, the gameplay can get rather frantic in a hurry, especially in the series' staple multiplayer modes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than Tetris!, July 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Dr. Mario (Game Cartridge)

When I first bought Dr. Mario, I thought it be just an imatation of Tetris. It sort of is, but its even more fun. You have to get rid of all the germs by lining up pills of the same color onto each other. You suceed after you get rid of all the germs. Like Tetris, you die when the pills reach the top of the screen and have no where else to go. This game never gets old because I've had it for 6 years and still play it. You can adjust the speed of the game and the music. I highly recommend it.

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Dr. Mario (Game Cartridge)

Dr.Mario is a great game once you start playing it. It is the same as the NES version, so if you like Dr. Mario for NES, you'll like the Gameboy version. You play by dropping pills on viruses. It is compatible with Gameboy, Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, and Gameboy Advance SP.
