The Box Art of Dr. Mario & Puzzle League.

Dr. Mario & Puzzle League is a "2 in 1" game for the Game Boy Advance. Dr. Mario is an enhanced remake of the original Dr. Mario, using many of the graphics from Dr. Mario 64.

Puzzle League's name probably comes from Pokémon Puzzle League, a game based on Tetris Attack (in turn based on the Japan-only Panel de Pon). This version, however, is a very simple form of the game. Though it keeps the addictive gameplay of Tetris Attack, its lack of a story mode disappointed some Tetris Attack fans. Its GameCube equivalent was going to be released in North America but was pushed onto the "To be announced" list and slowly was cancelled.Template:Fact

Gameplay

Dr. Mario most resembles the Nintendo 64 version, Dr. Mario 64. Like Dr. Wario, its bottle is 13 cells tall instead of the standard 16. Puzzle League is completely changed from the original (Panel de Pon, Japan only). The graphics closely resemble those of the GBA multiboot version from Nintendo Puzzle Collection. Both games have a vertical mode that can be unlocked, where one tilt s the GBA 90° counterclockwise to play, allowing for a higher resolution playing field. Both games have a multi-pack multiplayer mode, but can download a demo version to a GBA. The demo version of Dr. Mario features limited animation and an NES soundtrack. The demo version of Puzzle League features a small animal (Pupuri from Panel de Pon) on the side that calls out when blocks are cleared. The demo of Puzzle League is also the same demo from Nintendo Puzzle Collection.
