| | '''Megavitamins''' is the [[Neutral B]] attack utilized by [[Dr. Mario]] in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]. This attack is nearly identical to Mario's Fireball move except it has a unique bounce arc, it falls faster, and it does more damage. Dr. Mario will push his hand forward and a megavitamin from the original ''Dr. Mario'' puzzle game will come out and bounce forward. If the megavitamin hits an opponent it will make a peculiar sound effect from the original game as well as when Dr. Mario releases the vitamin from his hand. If a vitamin is launched in mid-air it will fall diagonally like [[Mario]]'s [[Fireball]] move. |

| | Every time Dr. Mario releases a megavitamin each half of the vitamin will be either red, blue or yellow. This is imitating the original ''Dr. Mario'' game since the Tetris-like pieces that would fall were 2-colored vitamins. Here are all the possible color combinations for the attack: red light-red, red yellow, yellow light-yellow, yellow blue, blue light-blue, and blue red. |

| '''Megavitamins''' ({{ja|カプセル|Kapuseru}}, ''Capsule'') appear as [[Dr. Mario]]'s [[neutral special move]].
| | [[Category:Neutral B moves]] |
| | |
| ==Overview==
| |
| ===In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''===
| |
| [[File:Megavitamins Melee.png|thumb|Dr. Mario throwing a Megavitamin in ''Melee''.]]
| |
| Megavitamins are similar to [[Mario]]'s [[Fireball]]s in that they are a medium to short-ranged projectile that bounces along the ground. However, they bounce higher, fall faster, do more damage (8%), and have distinctive sound effects from the original ''Dr. Mario'' upon firing, bouncing, and hitting; despite being a physical pill as opposed to a ball of flame, they can still be [[absorb]]ed. They are also used in Dr. Mario's [[taunt]] in ''Melee'', in which he tosses a non-damaging Megavitamin up and catches it. The color of each Megavitamin produced (each half can be red, yellow, or blue) is random and has no gameplay effect.
| |
| | |
| ===In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''===
| |
| [[File:SSB4-Megavitamin.jpg|thumb|Megavitamin in {{for3ds}}.]]
| |
| Megavitamins return in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. They have been given a considerable damage nerf, only dealing 4 to 6% damage, but otherwise remain relatively unchanged. They also appear in Dr. Mario's side taunt, which was his taunt from ''Melee'', in which Dr. Mario tosses a non-damaging Megavitamin up and catches it. They received a slight buff as well; the game also now recognizes Megavitamins as physical projectiles, so they cannot be absorbed.
| |
| | |
| ===In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''===
| |
| Megavitamins are relatively unchanged from their appearance in ''Smash 4'' with one exception. The major change the move had was the change of its angle from the Sakurai angle to a more vertical angle and considerably greater knockback. This prevents the move from locking and hampers its gimping ability but gives it potential followups into Dr. Mario's entire moveset.

| ==Customization==
| |
| Special Move customization was added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. These are the variations:
| |
| {{CustomSet|DrMario|Neutral|name1=Megavitamins|desc1=Throw a vitamin capsule that bounces off the ground.|name2=Fast Capsule|desc2=Throw a capsule that flies swift and true. Not strong, but easy to use repeatedly.|name3=Mega Capsule|desc3=Throws a large, slow-moving capsule. Short ranged, but hits multiple times.}}
| |
| #'''Megavitamins''': Default.
| |
| #'''Fast Capsule''': Projectiles travel quickly, but lack power. However, they can be easily [[spamming|spammed]].{{Main|Dr. Mario (SSB4)/Neutral special/Custom 1}}
| |
| #'''Mega Capsule''': Projectiles are much bigger, and slow moving. They have a short range and much longer [[startup]] and [[ending lag]], but can hit an opponent multiple times, allowing for follow-ups.{{Main|Dr. Mario (SSB4)/Neutral special/Custom 2}}
| |
| | |
| These customs share similar attributes to {{SSB4|Mario}}'s custom neutral specials, Fast Fireball and Fire Orb.

| |desc=Megavitamins come in six color combinations of red, blue, and yellow. Dr. Mario uses these capsules by tossing them into contaminated bottles to destroy viruses. The origin of these wonder pills is a mystery, but the most likely theory is that they're the result of Dr. Mario's lifelong efforts to find a cure for the common cold.

| |
| In ''Dr. Mario'', Megavitamins were used to eliminate {{s|mariowiki|virus}}es. When the player lines up four vitamins and/or viruses of the same color, the vitamins and the viruses are destroyed. In most ''Dr. Mario'' games, they appear in three colors; red, blue and yellow.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The sound effect when a Megavitamin is thrown is the sound effect used in ''Dr. Mario'' when Megavitamins are lined up to clear them from the screen. The sound effect when a Megavitamin hits an opponent is the sound effect used in ''Dr. Mario'' when a Virus is eliminated by a Megavitamin.
| |
| **In ''Melee'', {{SSBM|Kirby}} [[copy]]ing Megavitamin does not copy the latter sound effect; this was fixed from ''SSB4'' onwards.
| |
| *Megavitamins in ''Melee'' deal the most damage of any of Fireball's counterparts from the series, as Mario's Fireball does 7% in ''Smash 64'', 6% in ''Melee'', 5% in ''Brawl'', and 5/4% in ''Smash 4''; Luigi's does 7% in ''Smash 64'' (6% in PAL versions), 6% in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', and 6/5% in ''Smash 4''; and Megavitamin's ''Smash 4'' counterpart also deals 5/4%.
| |
| *In ''Ultimate'', pausing the game the moment a Megavitamin appears in Dr. Mario's arm reveals that the projectile will be red before changing to a randomized color 1 frame later.
