Tetris Attack, originally released as Panel de Pon on October 27, 1995 in Japan, is a puzzle game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy, released in 1996. It features characters and settings from the Yoshi's Island series.
Plot[]
The single-player story mode of the game takes place in Yoshi's Island. Bowser and his minions have cursed Yoshi's friends, and the player, playing as Yoshi, must defeat them in order to remove the curse and free them.
Gameplay[]
The gameplay has little to do with Tetris, despite the title. Instead, square panels rise from the bottom (called the "stack") and the job of the player is to line up three or more matching panels either horizontally or vertically as the stack rises. The panels are controlled using a rectangular cursor on the screen which the player uses to switch the selected panels back and forth. Extra points are given for combinations of more than three. If the stack touches the top of the playing field while rising, it is a Game Over.
Reception[]
The reception of the game was very positive, and the game was featured among GameRadar's Top 100 Games of All Time, and Game Informer stated the game was "one of the most addicting puzzle games ever made".
