The game was produced by Gunpei Yokoi and designed by Takahiro Harada, with the soundtrack composed by Hirokazu Tanaka.

Gameplay Mechanics

The gameplay involves arranging capsules on the board to create lines of three or more identical colors. Capsules can be rotated and moved to match them with existing blocks on the board. The goal is to remove all viruses on the board using the capsules.

Dr. Mario was a commercial success, selling over 10 million copies worldwide across all platforms. It received generally positive reviews and appeared on several lists of "Greatest Nintendo Games of All Time." It has been ported, remade, or had sequels on every Nintendo home console since the NES and on most handheld consoles, including a re-release in 2004 on the Game Boy Advance as part of the Classic NES series. As for the SNES, Dr. Mario was not released as a standalone game on that platform. Instead, it was released as part of the Tetris & Dr. Mario bundle in 1994. This bundle included both Tetris and Dr. Mario games, as well as a two-player mode where players could compete in both games.
