'''Dr. Mario''' is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. He was officially confirmed on October 9th, 2014 alongside {{SSB4|Dark Pit}}, but was [[Leak#ESRB leak|leaked beforehand]] on September 11th by a leaker's [http://www.twitch.tv/gema_yue Twitch stream]. His design has been updated to include the red tie he has had since ''Dr. Mario 64'', while still retaining his black pants from ''Melee''. However, his pants are now rolled up, revealing their white inside. His hair is a lighter shade of brown, and the band around his head is now black. Additionally, his stethoscope is now black instead of blue, as it was in ''Melee''.

While {{SSB4|Mario}} continues to use his updated moveset from ''Brawl'', Dr. Mario retains the old ''Melee''-style moveset, albeit with a [[Final Smash]] now. The Final Smash is similar to [[Mario Finale]], but instead uses enormous [[Megavitamins]] rather than fire.

==How To Unlock==
==={{for3ds}}===
* Play 60 VS Matches.
* Clear [[Classic Mode]] as Mario on difficulty 4.0 or higher.
Dr. Mario must then be defeated on [[Mushroomy Kingdom]].

==={{forwiiu}}===
* Play 50 VS Matches.
* Clear [[Special Orders|Master Orders]] on Hard difficulty.
Dr. Mario must then be defeated on [[Delfino Plaza]].

==Changes from ''Melee''==
Dr. Mario's buffs and nerfs seem to indicate an increase in the difference between him and Mario. Many of these buffs and nerfs try to make Dr. Mario like he was originally intended, a slower yet stronger Mario.
*{{buff|Dr. Mario jumps slightly higher.}}
*{{buff|He can now wall jump, aiding recovery.}}
*{{buff|Back aerial deals more damage and knockback, being able to KO around 140% near the edge.}}
**{{nerf|It no longer semi-spikes.}}
*{{buff|Down aerial deals 1% more damage and has stronger knockback.}}
*{{buff|Dr. Mario now grabs with one hand as opposed to two, and has a higher grab range.}}
*{{buff|Jab combo, forward tilt and down tilt are faster.}}
*{{buff|Neutral attack has a consecutive jab.}}
*{{buff|Up smash is stronger and faster.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash has slightly more range and is stronger.}}
**{{nerf|However, it has slightly more ending lag.}}
*{{buff|Up aerial deals more knockback and is faster.}}
*{{buff|[[Dr. Tornado]] has a faster startup and a slightly longer duration. The move itself is also harder to escape from and can now gain air by mashing B, just like [[Mario Tornado]].}}
**{{nerf|However, it deals less damage.}}
*{{buff|[[Super Jump Punch]] now consists of one strong hit that can KO reliably before 150%. It is now a viable option for combo ending and [[tech chasing]], much akin to [[Dolphin Slash]].}}
**{{nerf|However, it cannot be [[Super_Jump_Punch#Up-B_cancel|cancelled]] like its ''Melee'' counterpart.}}
*{{nerf|Dr. Mario is slightly slower.}}
*{{nerf|[[Megavitamins]] now only do 4-6% damage instead of 8%, based on distance.}}
**{{buff|However, Megavitamins are now slightly larger and have longer range.}}
*{{nerf|Some of Dr. Mario's other attacks, such as down and up tilts, up aerial, jab combo, and [[Super Sheet]], have slightly decreased damage values.}}
*{{nerf|Forward aerial now necessitates landing a {{b|sweet spot|hitbox}} to retain its ''Melee'' power; the new sourspots deal much less damage and knockback.}}
*{{nerf|Dr. Mario's [[Super Sheet]] does not stall him at all when in the air, while in ''Melee'', it kept him in place on the first use.}}
*{{nerf|Down smash deals much less damage.}}
*{{change|Megavitamins are much more brightly colored and appear to be shorter, but more rounded. They also lack the see-through half in the 3DS version.}}
*{{change|Megavitamins no longer have energy properties.}}
**{{buff|This means that they're immune to Ness's [[PSI Magnet]] and Mr. Game & Watch's [[Oil Panic]].}}
*{{change|Dr. Mario now backflips three times as opposed to once when he jumps.}}
*{{change|Down tilt no longer sends the opponent behind Dr. Mario, instead popping them into the air.}}
*{{change|Up tilt no longer sends the opponent forward if the opponent is hit in front of Dr. Mario. Instead the move sends the opponent up no matter where it hits, where as in [[Melee]] the move had different trajectories depending on where it hit the opponent.}}
*{{change|He has a different walking animation, just like [[Mario]] in ''[[Brawl]]''.}}
*{{change|Dr. Mario uses Mario's back aerial animation from [[Brawl]] instead of using the back aerial animation from [[Melee]].}}
*{{change|Dr. Mario has a new idle pose, he pounds his fist into his open palm.}}

===Taunts===
*'''Up taunt''': Grinds his shoe on the ground.

*'''Down taunt''': Pats his shoulder with his fist.

====On-Screen Appearance====
A large stack of capsules appear on stage. Another capsule lands on the top, causing a chain reaction which wipes away the entire stack, revealing Dr. Mario from behind them.

====Victory Fanfare====
A flourished remix directly from ''Brawl'' based on the sound clip that would play when Mario reaches the end of a level in ''Super Mario Bros.'' It is shared with {{SSB4|Mario}}, {{SSB4|Luigi}}, and {{SSB4|Peach}}.

==Trophies==
==={{for3ds}} trophy descriptions===
Dr. Mario's regular trophy can be obtained by completing [[Classic Mode]] and his alternative trophy can be obtained by completing [[All-Star mode]].

;Dr. Mario
:''In the 1990 puzzle game Dr. Mario, Mario threw on a white coat and decided to take a shot at that whole "medicine" thing. In this game, he's a balanced fighter who can throw Megavitamin capsules and nimbly deflect blows with his Super Sheet. He's not quite as quick as normal Mario, but his attacks deal a bit more damage.''

;Dr. Mario (Alt.)
:''Mario and Dr. Mario are only slightly different. Basically, Dr. Mario is stronger, but his MD slows his speed and lowers his jump. He also has a move Mario doesn't: Dr. Tornado, a down special that can trap opponents before launching them. You can move left and right while doing it and press the button repeatedly to rise into the air.''

==Trivia==
<!--He IS a cut Melee veteran, but it's rather obvious to anyone with a decent knowledge of Smash, so don't add it in.-->
*In the Japanese version, due to a [[glitch]], when the [[crowd]] is cheering for a [[Villager (SSB4)|Villager]] that is fighting against Dr. Mario, the crowd will instead cheer for the [[Ice Climbers]], who do not appear as fighters in the actual game.
*Dr. Mario appears to have his shirt and tie done up on the artwork, but in gameplay, his collar is open and tie is loose.
