Hey, about the TETRIS question, if you mean the original GAMEBOY version, the Type C music is not 'plum fairy' (dance of the sugar plum fairy by tchaikovsky), It is one of Bach's fugues from his book of french suites: c# if I remember correctly. When you finish B-type or get 100000 points in A-type, the tune the russians (or mario characters in the NES version) are playing IS a tchaikovsky tune, But it is from the Nutcracker ballet.
Please people, understand the difference between baroque fuges and romantic ballets. The driving Bach piece is far more suitable to hype you up then the light, emotional melody of 'plum fairy'!

Hey!  Since I can never make it to the real trivia, I'll overcompensate by showing off my encyclopedic knowledge of Mario enemies.  There is another way to tell which the real Yaridovich is:  Use Mallow's Psychopath on one of the Yaridoviches and press the Y button just as the two spotlights converge on him.  If you time it correctly you will hear a "power-up" tone and you will read his mind.

The real one thinks, "My promotion's at stake!" and the fake one thinks, "I'm not the real McCoy!"

You can use this trick to read any enemy's mind, actually.  It's practically useless, but pretty cool.
