One of Dr. Mario's biggest buffs were to his already above-average damage output; all of his moves deal much more damage (excluding his pummel and get-up attacks), which further supplements his damage-racking game and his previously inconsistent KO ability. His recovery, while still poor, has nevertheless improved slightly; [[Dr. Tornado]] has increased distance, and the readdition of directional air dodges gives him another option to possibly extend and mix up his recovery. Additionally, Dr. Mario has a new [[down aerial]] and [[back throw]]; the former can now meteor smash opponents much like Mario's forward aerial, giving him an option that he notoriously lacked in the previous game. Meanwhile, the latter, albeit losing its collateral hitbox, has gained more knockback, making it now stronger than Mario's own back throw as well as one of the strongest back throws in the game by far. | One of Dr. Mario's biggest buffs were to his already above-average damage output; all of his moves deal much more damage (excluding his pummel and get-up attacks), which further supplements his damage-racking game and his previously inconsistent KO ability.

Dr. Mario's entire special moveset has also seen | Dr. Mario's entire special moveset has also seen numerous buffs. [[Megavitamins]] now deal enough damage and knockback to cause opponents to [[tumble]], and launch at a higher angle, making them viable as a combo starter and even giving them the ability to set up KOs. Finally, [[Super Sheet]] has a higher reflection multiplier compared to Mario's Cape, and [[Super Jump Punch]] deals more knockback, making a superior KO move and deadlier [[out of shield]] option. However, Dr. Tornado was buffed significantly: outside of its improved recovery potential, it has gained heavy armor on startup if used on the ground, which makes it useful for tanking through attacks and breaking pressure. Additionally, it deals more damage and knockback, to the point it has gained notoriety for being able to KO offstage effectively at very low percentages, and when combined with its increased distance, make it a deadly edgeguarding option. As a result of the improvements to Dr. Tornado, combined with his revamped down aerial, Dr. Mario's edgeguarding game is much more powerful, albeit not as deadly or safe as Mario. | ||
In spite of this, Dr. Mario has received a few nerfs. Most notably, Dr. Mario's already sub-par mobility is slightly worse, given the nerfs to his air speed and jump height- While it otherwise remains largely unaltered from his previous appearance, Dr. Mario is now much slower in comparison to the rest of the cast, especially considering most other fighters have received buffs to their mobility. He also shares some other nerfs with Mario, such as up tilt's hitbox placement adjusted, giving it inferior range in front of and underneath him, and his grabs having increased ending lag, hindering their utility and combos. | In spite of this, Dr. Mario has received a few nerfs.
