In a manner and style considered similar to Tetris, the player manipulates each capsule as it vertically falls 1 unit of space at a time, able to move it left or right and rotate it 90 degrees in either clockwise or counter-clockwise. The main objective is to complete levels, which is accomplished by eliminating all viruses from the playing field. (wikipedia.org)

Going over to a grandparent's house, freaking out that they have a NES system hooked up. They only have this or Tetris.

Mildly interesting variation on Tetris, but it lacks that game's simple elegance, and the novelty wore off quickly.

The commercial for this game shamelessly featured the Witch Doctor song sung by a Witch Doctor shrinking a grown man's head, and a cartoon Mario Doctor appearing in the flames of a seance. This has nothing to do with the game, of course. Except for perhaps combining the pharmaceutical industry with shamanism, which is the kind of advertising we need right now.

I can beat level 23 on low speed, level 20 on medium speed, and on high speed I can cry in anger.

This was all we played at my cousin's house. Just Doc Mario, top ramen and Ernest films, as far as the eye could see...

A plumber moonlighting as a doctor might sound like a bad idea, but you can't argue with the results.

It has a good central mechanic, but does very little to build on that, mostly just getting faster as the levels go up. Once you've learned the basic strategy, there isn't much left to sink your teeth into. Fun to play for a quick burst, but if I had gotten it as an NES cartridge for Christmas, I would've been disappointed.

It's just worse Tetris but it's still executed well enough that it's good fun. I'll boot it up on my switch's nes emulator from time to time.

good puzzle game. Match pills as the levels get insanely hard.

Intuitive, flippy, and fun to play against another player. It's part of a family of Tetris-like games (Dr. Mario, Columns, etc.) that competed for eyeballs at the time. It should say something that I still drag this cart out and play it. (It says I'm old)

The problem is that it copies Tetris too closely but when it tries to expand on those mechanics it just fails. I'm also not sure how a plumber who rescues princesses as a full time job gets a medical degree.

An above average color-matching puzzler for the time. The music's catchy.

How is it Tetris gets like 100s and Dr. Mario 60s? That I don't get. In some ways Dr. Mario presented a different and more-dimensional challenge than Tetris. Amazing? Nope. Fun, definitely.

Decent Tetris clone.

not a terrible puzzle game, all things considered. then again, that's not true. I'm not considering that I downloaded it in two minutes to play on an emulator, and that my experience wasn't my mom buying me "Mario" for Christmas and getting Tetris hosted by Leo Spaceman

A bit of casual fun but lacks the depth of Tetris or other similar puzzle games.

There are far better games in this same genre. Even within the Mario franchise of this genre.
