Magical Tetris Challenge, known in Japan as Magical Tetris Challenge Featuring Mickey (マジカルテトリスチャレンジ featuring ミッキー? Majikaru Tetorisu Charenji Fīcharingu Mikkī), is a puzzle game by Capcom for the Nintendo 64, Game Boy Color and PlayStation (the latter version was released in Japan and Europe only). The Game Boy Color version was undername titled Tetris Adventure Susume Mickey to Nakama-tachi (テトリスアドベンチャー すすめミッキーとなかまたち? The Adventure of Tetris with Mickey and Friends). It was released on January 14, 1999. It is a version of Tetris featuring Disney characters. It is one of the few N64 titles to be entirely in 2D.
The game was also released in arcades on Seta's Aleck 64.
On this version players can play as one of four characters: Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck or Goofy, and three game modes are available: Magical Tetris, Updown Tetris and an Endless mode. Magical and Updown Tetris can be played under Story Mode or in Versus Multiplayer.
In Magical Tetris, the player is pitted against an opponent, which is either the A.I. in Story or Endless Modes or another player in Versus Mode. Players control the standard seven Tetris pieces, race to make lines (and consecutive line clears, called combos), and attack the other player. The attacked player receives a set of "magical" pieces, which range from pentomino pieces to square blocks and even very large (up to 5x5-block sized) pieces. Players can also counter one another by making multiple lines to send the pieces back to their opponent. Because of the pentomino pieces, it is possible for a player to clear five lines at once (called a Pentris) using a 5-block straight piece.
