#4 of 10: Mario & Yoshi (3DS NES Ambassador)

Looks perfectly fine on the small screen. This is one of those many Tetris style gradually dropping block games that follow completely different rules. You take one look at them, decide it looks too boring to play but once you give it a quick go you can't stop playing whether you like it or not. In Tetris' case it actually makes me somewhat annoyed when I can't stop playing but in this case it's nice enough.

Instead of controlling the dropping blocks you swap the columns of blocks that have built up on the bottom in the hopes of of the falling ones landing on the top one that has the same picture. There's also a strategic element to it with the opening and closing halves of Yoshi eggs. If you stack a bunch of rubbish blocks between the opening and closing parts, the egg will close around them and they'll all disappear. I notice doing bigger ones will give you a bigger Yoshi.
