Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo

You match tiles to attack your opponent. Attacking your opponent lowers their health. Therefore, the faster you are at tile-matching, the faster you win the game. The game features fighters from the CAPCOM universe.

Dr. Mario & Puzzle League (GBA) Dr. Mario

Dr. Mario & Puzzle League and Dr. Mario are two GameBoy Advance puzzle games featuring Mario. The only difference is that the former is a compilation cartridge which contains versions of both Dr. Mario and Tetris Attack.

Dr. Mario’s objective is to delete viruses by throwing vitamin capsules into a bottle. To eliminate the nasty critters, you must form a row of four or more same-colored capsules or viruses. However, trapped at the bottom of the bottle are many viruses, so you must plan ahead to eliminate them.

ChuChu Rocket!

The objective of ChuChu Rocket! is to guide mice into the player’s base by placing directional arrows on a grid. A cat which can eat the mice also walks on the grid and can reduce the player’s score in half if it gets into your base. It sounds easy. However, some of the mazes are complex and are sure to have you thinking and strategizing for more than a few hours.

Polarium Advance

In Polarium Advance, black and white tiles fill a grid, and by drawing a single line on the grid, flip tiles from black to white (or vice versa). Forming solid, horizontal lines of all black or all white erases tiles, and the goal is to delete the entire grid in this manner.
