Overview
Magical Tetris Challenge, known in Japan as Magical Tetris Challenge featuring Mickey, is a falling-block puzzle game developed and published by Capcom for the Nintendo 64 in Japan on November 20, 1998, in North America on January 14, 1999, and in Europe by Activision on September 1999. It also received an arcade release (using N64-based SETA Aleck 64 hardware) exclusively in Japan sometime in 1998, although it is unclear whether this game predates the home release.
An official game in the Tetris series of puzzle games, Magical Tetris Challenge features the use of Disney characters (particularly those from the Mickey Mouse universe) and focuses on two versus game modes: the standard "Updown Tetris" and the namesake "Magical Tetris" (the latter of which utilize a vast range of unusual pieces, including pentominoes, that players can force their opponents to drop).
The game later received a port to the Sony PlayStation, released in Japan on March 18, 1999 and in Europe by SCEE sometime in 1999. It also received a handheld port for the Game Boy Color in Japan (as Tetris Adventure: Susume Mickey to Nakamatachi) on November 12, 1999, in North America on February 17, 2000, and in Europe on March 24, 2000. This version features a reworked Story Mode (now known as "Quest Mode") and new game modes.
