Game Description:
Dr. Mario is a Tetris type puzzle game. Mario is dressed like a doctor and tosses colored pills on top of the heads of the viruses which are your enemies. The goal is to match the colors of the pills with the colors of the virus. When three pieces of the same colored pill touches an enemy virus he will be defeated. The number of viruses you have to defeat increases as you advance in levels. There are also three speed levels (low, medium, and high) which you can beat the game on. The speed at which Dr. Mario tosses pills is dictated by the level you choose. This is a simple yet addictive game, which can be enjoyed by gamers of all ages.
Hack Description:
In the spirit of The Year of Luigi, which in fact did NOT end in 2013, Luigi is being inserted into classic Mario games in place of the red plumber! This was originally inspired by an April Fools' joke on NintendoLife.com teasing Luigi versions of classic NES games and later Nintendo's own Luigi Bros. and Dr. Luigi for Wii U.

Introducing: Dr. Luigi!

It's even got a little trailer! [url=http://youtu.be/2knU_8u9VFI][u]Check it out![/u][/url]

Features:
-Dr. Mario is now Dr. Luigi! All of his sprites are redrawn to feature the taller, thinner brother in medical attire. His appearance is based on other 80's/90's games that featured him rather than his modern appearance.
-New title logo based on the logo from the Wii U Dr. Luigi.
-New, completely redrawn virus designs based on the ones from the Wii U title.
-New color palettes - pills, viruses, backgrounds, etc. Most of the changes are based on the Wii U Dr. Luigi.
-There's been a slight redesign of a certain something else, too... Beat HI speed on level 20 to see it!
