Summary: Looks the same, plays worse.
Comment: There were only a couple NES games I ended up playing after new consoles kept coming out. Dr. Mario was one of them. This game doesn't live up to the original. It pretty much looks the same, and it sounds the same, but here are the problems that keep me from playing it: The game isn't smooth like the original. Remember those tricky situations where you would have to slide a pill under other pills while flipping it? Forget it. Holding left and right is slower than the original, and flipping is slower as well. Finally, a minor problem is that when you hold down a pill to make it fall faster, the yellow turns into red as it falls. The pills are too small. They should make a Dr. Mario for DS with the double screens..Heaven.

Summary: Too tiny to see
Comment: I loved the original Dr. Mario, so when I got a GameBoy version I was excited. It's very Tetris-like, except for making complete rows, you are matching up 4 like colors of pill halves to the same color virus until they have all been matched and eliminated. Unfortunately, the "pills" are so tiny that it is difficult to enjoy this process. My vision is fine, yet I find myself squinting at the screen trying to make out the different colors in order to decide where to drop them. This was a good idea, but it doesn't work on such a small scale. However, if trying to make out minute details doesn't bother you, then you will probably enjoy this classic - especially if you love Tetris and are burned out on it.

Summary: Let The Doctor In
Comment: I arguably see a lot of classic video games come back again. Yet, with all of those, many games have had a very little opportunity of a cult following. In 1989, puzzle games really did bacome a staple of the video game industry with the smashing status of the addictive Tetris. That game has been so amazing, very few knockoffs have also stayed the course. Dr. Mario was also one of those games that has been a constant for Nintendo owners. From the debut for the original NES system, to all the way on the N64 wave awhile back, Dr. Mario has been a surprising standout, and now Game Boy owners can feel the viruses again.
Dr. Mario: The NES version for thr Game Boy Advance, still remains as addictive as it was a staple for NES owners years ago. The game has 20 wild and wolly levels of pure puzzle action that just keeps getting more complex by the minute. In the game, you try to fill the medicing bottle by stacking four parts of pills either across or vertically to attack the viruses. The game is very easy to tackle, and brings out a good sense of challenge. However, there are a few surprising disadvantages to the game. One of them is that for some, it is a lack of challenge, especially if you've mastered the whole game years ago for the NES, or any of the other revised versions. Another disadvatage is that the game doesn't bring out anything new, considering it is the exact same version without any different things to make it unique again for Game Boy players.
Nevertheless, Dr. Mario is a pure wild delight for anybody who is addicted to puzzles. I loved this game before for the original Nintendo system, and I still love it now. Hopefully, many in this generation can keeps those viruses away and bring the pills going. This is a must have for the Game Boy Advance.
