The game doesn't go beyond level 24; it's just a long slog to all 9's from there on: https://www.twingalaxies.com/showthread.php/185456 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds easy enough! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PII | 1,885 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I have a relatively rare, recurring issue where I figure I must be double taping "A" or "B" because the pill will rotate twice and end up positioned wrong, but not once have I ever actually noticed a double tap. I know it can't happen from just holding either button down. It's a total wrench in the works at the beginning of a late level. Very curious if anyone else experiences this as well?

It's a puzzle game where you can make elaborate high scoring combos so you should do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd39 | 2,020 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Okay, all I wanted was to break 200k this week and I did. I'm happy. Dr Mario is tedious and takes so long. Tetris is way better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little bit of unfair comparison when we start dr mario level 0 and started tetris at 18. Tetris would have been long had we started at zero same way, especially for someone like you who can get into the 20s. I like the ruleset here, but your gripe is with the ruleset much more than the game itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Mario will waste your time by constantly giving pieces you don't need. Sometimes I'll get the same color piece like 10 times in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one I had more hopes for though. Couldnt point rack like bert, but who can. Should be able to get close to level 20 though. BUT I left my NES in Michigan and the backup toploader suddenly doesnt work. It fires up fine, but I tried 5 controllers last night and none of them functioned with it. Most dpad worked but A and B do nothing. Its not the controllers. I dont know if its repairable. Hoping the local shop will let me rent one for the weekend, but thats a shot in the dark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I managed to teach my parents how to dump ROMs over a video call, so they've been able to send me most of my collection digitally for the time being haha. I can't wait for border restrictions to ease-up so I can get my physical games back and see my family in person again. -CasualCart 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krunch | 303 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I played a bit last night on Switch and shhhiiit I’m rusty. It’s a good thing I love this game so much and can play it pretty much indefinitely. Gonna have to do it on real hardware cause that’s where all my years of practice lie. My wife, then fiancée, bought me a sealed Dr. Mario for $120 loonie money in Jan 2020 when we were browsing at a game store. I didn’t even notice it was sealed on first glance in the case - lookin like quite a steal now!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I played a quick game this morning for fun and I didn't even hit 100k. I'm not great at this, but I should be able to do a lot better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
