(→Special Moves: It says right there it has better reach, therefore, it’s a buff) |
(Undid edit by 107.77.220.183: Not quite. In SSB4, the move, when compared to Mario, has more vertical reach, and less horizontal. The new animation in this game has been changed to reflect this.) |

Dr. Mario (ドクターマリオ, Doctor Mario) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was officially confirmed as playable on June 12th, 2018.
Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release. |
While Dr. Mario is still slower and stronger than Mario, he is not classified as an Echo Fighter. It is unknown to what extent he has been decloned.
Aesthetics
As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Dr. Mario's model features a more subdued color scheme. Like Mario, his hair and clothing now features simple detailing, with his head mirror's headband reverting back to a cordovan brown from his Melee design, instead of a dark taupe gray.- The inside of Dr. Mario's pants are now slate grey instead of white.
Attributes
Like all characters, Dr. Mario's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.- Dr. Mario jumps slightly higher.
Ground attacks
- The electricity produced from Dr. Mario's forward smash is now magenta/lavender instead of light blue.
Aerial attacks
- Dr. Mario has a new down aerial, a downward stomp, as opposed to a drill kick. Compared to the old down aerial, the stomp can meteor smash.
His new down aerial has slower start-up.
Special Moves
- Dr. Mario no longer opens his mouth when using Megavitamin.
- Super Sheet has an updated animation. He now swings the sheet upwards rather than sideways, indicating the move's better vertical reach.
- Dr. Tornado has a vortex form around Dr. Mario when used.

Trivia
- With Link and Young Link now representing different incarnations of Link and Zelda and Sheik now representing different incarnations of Princess Zelda, along with Zero Suit Samus briefly transforming into her Varia Suited form for her Final Smash, Dr. Mario is the only playable character to represent an alternate identity for another character with no gameplay connection between the two.
- During Luigi's character's trailer, Dr. Mario's Super Sheet is shown to have a visual glitch in which the sheet is incorrectly placed on his right hand.
- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the first Smash Bros. game where Dr. Mario is not holding his Vitamins in his official art.
- Dr. Mario’s official art resembles one of the victory animations he has in Super Smash Bros. 4.
- One of the images on the Smash Bros. website shows Dr. Mario and Link, with the former holding a Fairy Bottle and the latter laying face-down. This is a reference to Fairies, a The Legend of Zelda series item that would restore Link's health in case of exhaustion.
- If one listens closely in Dr. Mario's character trailer, they can hear him grunting before he meteor smashes Wario with his new down aerial. This makes him and Mario the only characters to vocalize at all in their character trailers.
