Dr. Mario is a non-tetromino puzzle game franchise developed by Nintendo and released on its systems.
The battle is 8 blocks wide by 11 to 16 blocks high (depending on version) and starts out partially full of "viruses", or fixed blocks of the color red, yellow, or blue.
Pieces in Dr. Mario are vitamin pills with two halves (making them dominoes), with each half colored red, yellow, or blue. The player can move or rotate them as they fall into the bottom. Once a pill locks, if four or more blocks of a color are aligned horizontally or vertically, they are removed, and the pill segments above them (but not viruses) fall in a cascade. In 2-player, cascades cause garbage pill segments to drop into the opponent's playfield. Anything that falls falls slowly, at a rate of 4 rows per second, due to the design of the playfield refresh logic. Modern versions allow players to speed up the fall rate of these cascades in single-player, but not in multiplayer, where the time lost waiting for garbage segments to fall is often more damaging than the segments themselves.
Dr. Mario Online Rx for Wii shows three next pills: one in Mario's hand and two rising out of his bag. Earlier games show only the one in Mario's hand. Multiplayer on consoles shows one piece directly above the bottle, as in TGM, and (in the Wii version) some to the right side of the bottle.
Players who like Dr. Mario may also like Columns, Klax, and Puyo Puyo.
The game Tetris 2 can be thought of as Dr. Mario with tetrominoes.
Rotation system
Ordinarily, the pills rotate within a 2x2 box whose bottom left corner is always filled. Clockwise rotation looks like this:

Wall kicks on Dr. Mario (NES), WarioWare Inc.: Mega Microgame$ (GBA), Dr. Mario & Puzzle League (GBA), and Dr. Mario Online Rx (Wii) resemble TGM rotation in principle. Examples are as follows:
Horizontal to vertical:
