It contains enhanced remakes of ''[[Tetris]]'' and ''[[Dr. Mario (game)|Dr. Mario]]''. Additionally, it includes a "Mixed Match" mode that transitions between the two games as the players progress, beginning at Tetris's B-Type mode before switching to Dr. Mario, then Tetris's A-Type mode and so on. The game also earned a [[Player's Choice]] label. | | '''''Tetris & Dr. Mario ''''' is a game for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] released in 1994. It contains the popular puzzle game ''[[wikipedia:Tetris|Tetris]]'', a remade version of ''[[Dr. Mario (game)|Dr. Mario]]'', and a "Mixed Match" multiplayer game. The games do not differ from the originals much aside from graphical updates. It won a player coice rating. |
| | |
| The game's remake of ''Dr. Mario'' was later released on the [[Satellaview]] as ''Dr. Mario BS Version'' 「Ｄｒ．マリオＢＳ版」 and was broadcast between March 1997 and June 2000, as well as on the [[Nintendo Power (cartridge)|Nintendo Power cartridge format]] and on the Super NES version of [[LodgeNet]] as simply ''Dr. Mario''.

| ==Gameplay==
| |
| ===''Tetris''===
| |
| [[File:Tetris Gameplay.png|thumb|200px|left|Gameplay of ''Tetris'' mode]] | |
| In ''Tetris'' mode, players must arrange various [[harddrop:Tetromino|tetrominos]] across a board in order to create straight lines. Each tetromino falls from the top of the screen and must be assembled at the bottom. Once the player creates a line, that row disappears. The game is endless, so there is no specific way to "win." The player loses the game if a tetromino touches the top of the board. ''Tetris'' has an A-Mode, which gives the player an empty board to fill themselves, and a B-Mode, which gives the player a partially filled board that they must work around. B-Mode also gives the player the option to change the height of the board.
| |
| | |
| ''Tetris'' features the options of a one-player game, a two-player game, and a single-player mode where a computer is used as an opponent.
| |
| | |
| ===''Dr. Mario''===
| |
| {{see also|Dr. Mario (game)#Gameplay}}
| |
| ''Dr. Mario'' mode features slight differences from original releases. Aside from enhanced graphics and music, the game also adds as Vs. Computer mode, which gives the player the option to fight against the blue, yellow, or red [[virus]]. The blue virus represents an easy computer, while the yellow and red viruses represent medium and hard, respectively.

| ===Mixed Match===
| |
| [[File:Tetris & Dr. Mario mixed mode screen.png|thumb|Gameplay of Mixed Match. The first player advanced to the next level and is now playing ''Dr. Mario'' while the second player is still on the first stage playing ''Tetris''.]]
| |
| In this game's exclusive Mixed Match mode, players play through three modes within a time limit, starting with Tetris's B-Mode where a specified number of lines must be cleared, followed by Dr. Mario where all the available viruses must be eliminated, and finally ending with Tetris's A-Mode, which is endless. Unlike in the individual ''Tetris'' and ''Dr. Mario'' modes, there is no single-player version, and it can be played with only two players where there is no option to play against a computer player. Within this mode, players cannot disrupt their opponents as a result of clearing multiple lines with a single piece. If the player loses one of the modes as a result of filling up one of the middle columns, the progress within that mode is reset and the score for it is also reset to zero. The player who scores the higher total number of points across the three modes is the winner, but if both players score the same total number of points, the result is a draw.
| |
| | |
| There are two options for Mixed Match: '''Game Start''' and '''Options'''. The former allows the player to choose the Handicap, Play Time (three, five, or seven minutes), and Music (three different music themes, plus an option to turn it off). For this game's handicap in '''Game Start''', the settings for all three modes are as follows:

| |
| | |
| Selecting '''Options''' allows the player to configure the settings for both players individually, although changing the music requires going to '''Game Start''' to do so, just by highlighting the desired music option. The settings include the following and their respective limits:
| |
| * '''''Tetris-B'''''
| |
| ** '''Level:''' 0–10
| |
| ** '''Height:''' 0–5 (starts with 0, 3, 5, 8, 10, and 12 lines, respectively)

| |
| ** '''Virus Level:''' 0–20 (starts with four viruses at level 0, increased by four more viruses per extra level)
| |
