Final Smash	Doctor Finale

Dr. Mario is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4. He is the first and only previously cut veteran to return in a future installment in the series. Dr. Mario's 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, now featuring white cuffs. His hair is a lighter shade of brown.

He retains the Megavitamins, Super Sheet, Super Jump Punch, and Dr. Tornado as his special moves. His Final Smash is similar to Mario Finale, but it instead uses enormous Megavitamins.
