Game Groups > Dr. Mario variants

Dr. Mario is a falling block puzzle game, first released in 1990 in Tetris's wake. The falling blocks are traditionally two-coloured pills that can be rotated. By stacking several pills with viruses of the same colour, the viruses are eliminated, and the level is cleared once all the viruses are gone. Like Tetris and Columns, the basic gameplay of Dr. Mario has been cloned many times by amateur programmers.
