    • Magical Tetris Challenge
        JP release: 20th November 1998 NA release: 14th January 1999 PAL release: September 1999 Developer: Capcom Publisher: Capcom (JP/NA), Activision (PAL) N64 Magazine Score: 51% One week after the previous Tetris game comes another officially licensed Tetris game – this one starring Mickey Mouse, even though the title surprisingly lacks any mention of either Mikey or Disney. This isn’t just a regular Tetris game (although standard Tetris is an option), but takes on more of a Puyo Puyo format as you battle an opponent. As you clear lines, you’ll send “bad blocks” to opponent, which can be countered by them quickly clearing a line, going back and forth until left alone for long enough. These will then cause non-standard Tetris pieces to appear, consisting of more than 4 blocks. These are awkward to place, with some being large squares, to mess you up. However, it’s not all bad. Filling up your power bar will erase everything above a certain line, while doing well will reward you with a straight 5 block piece, which can be used to score a “Pentris” by clearing 5 lines at once. It’s a hectic back and forth, but one I quite enjoy. You get to play the story from the view of Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy, with Tetris used to resolve disputes. These are done on “Tetris machines” which fit into the classic Mikey aesthetic surprisingly well, with nice animation on the top and characters operating the controls. On top of regular Tetris, you can also play “Upside Tetris” (which is one of the letter “Types” in other Tetris games) where blocks will appear at the bottom as you play. I can definitely see why some people wouldn’t be keen on this version of Tetris, due to all the awkward blocks, but I personally like it a lot. Remake or remaster? The Magical Tetris mode would be nice to see in a newer version of Tetris. Official ways to get the game. There is no official way to get Magical Tetris Challenge

    • I worded it terribly, but yes, that's exactly what I meant  it's the only sensible solution! 
    • Don’t you mean buy two sets? It’s two different Deku Trees that can be built from the same set. 
        Anyway I think I’ll add it to my wish list. I have other sets I need before this. But I think it’s a neat idea that they have designed it so you can build two different versions. 
    • No, you're free to leave whenever you like. Of course, you'll have to trek back out of the dungeon, and then back again, but there's no point of no return. EDIT: That's what I get for not refreshing the page... Anyway, credits actually rolled for me last night. Beat the final boss in five turns because a certain partner is stupid OP!
