what the hell even was this game? I guess they tried to combine tetris with dr mario... It just makes it not good as a tetris game nor a dr. mario game. They just created some kind of frankenstein-ass hybrid between the two. There's also this weird mechanic where theres a glowing block near the bottom of the map that once broken, clears all the blocks of a certain color, which just kinda turns every level into "get to the bottom as quickly as you can" rather than the more spread out slow burn of dr mario. Plus using the tetris blocks as dr mario pieces is just cumbersome and weird, there's a reason dr mario had 2 block capsules and it wasn't just because of the doctor theming. It's definitely a weird highlight of the late NES library for sure, but if you are expecting more actual tetris, this ain't it
