 GamePro gave the Tetris & Dr. Mario compilation a rave review . They praised the Mixed Match mode and the SNES enhanced graphics and sounds , and concluded " Sharp controls and absorbing action are what make these two classics even better as a pair than they were alone . " Next Generation , in contrast , said the compilation was only significant for being the first appearance of Tetris on the SNES , summarizing that " Yeah , it 's great , but chances are you own a copy of one or both of these games already . " They did , however , praise Nintendo for having the " <unk> " to package their Tetris @-@ inspired game with Tetris itself .
