|dairdesc=A diagonal corkscrew dropkick. It [[Drill (archetype)|hits multiple times]], similarly to [[Mario Tornado]]. Its last hit also launches the opponent at 45°, which makes it significantly better than Mario Tornado in regard to edge-guarding.

|dsdefdesc=Rapidly spins around, trapping opponents and damaging them with a series of [[Wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Clothesline|discus clotheslines]] and [[Wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Spinning back fist|spinning backfists]] before assuming a [[wikipedia:Spreadeagle (position)|spread-eagle position]] to launch them. On the ground, Dr. Tornado allows Dr. Mario to slightly move left or right, while button mashing will make him leap into the air. In the air, button mashing immediately after the apex of a jump will make him ascend, thus helping his recovery. However, aerial Dr. Tornado can only be used once for recovery: if it is used at the apex of his first jump, using it at the apex of his second jump will result in him descending instead of ascending. Despite hitting on frame 10 and having 35 frames of ending lag, its loop hits' usage of the [[Autolink angle|auto-link angle]] and lack of [[Priority#Transcendent priority|transcendent priority]] enable it to reliably trap opponents | |dsdefdesc=Rapidly spins around, trapping opponents and damaging them with a series of [[Wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Clothesline|discus clotheslines]] and [[Wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Spinning back fist|spinning backfists]] before assuming a [[wikipedia:Spreadeagle (position)|spread-eagle position]] to launch them.

Although its last hit has a very low damage output, it possesses very high knockback scaling, transcendent priority, and launches opponents at 45°. As a result, it can function as a risky, yet very potent off-stage edge-guarding option, as it KOs middleweights at 82% while near Final Destination's left/right [[blast line]]s in the ''3DS'' version, and at 75% in the ''Wii U'' version. It resembles the {{s|mariowiki|Spin Jump}}. | ||
