'''Dr. Mario''' ({{Ja|Dr. マリオ|Dokutā Mario}}, ''Dr. Mario'') is the persona [[Mario]] assumes within the eponymous [[mariowiki:Dr. Mario (series)|''Dr. Mario'' series]]. Within his home series, Dr. Mario typically seeks to destroy a variety of dangerous {{s|mariowiki|Virus}}es from harming the inhabitants of the {{s|mariowiki|Mushroom Kingdom}}.
:''For fighter info, see [[Dr. Mario (SSBM)]] and [[Dr. Mario (SSB4)]].''
'''Dr. Mario''' ({{Ja|Dr. マリオ}}, ''Dr. Mario'') is a doctor-costumed version of [[Mario]] that is the star of his eponymous game for the {{s|nwiki|Nintendo Entertainment System}}, {{s|nwiki|Game Boy}},  and {{s|nwiki|Super Nintendo Entertainment System}}. He also stars in ''{{s|mariowiki|Dr. Mario 64}}'' for the [[Nintendo 64]], ''Dr. Mario and Puzzle League'' for the {{s|nwiki|Game Boy Advance}}, ''{{s|mariowiki|Dr. Mario Express}}'' for the DSi, and in ''{{s|mariowiki|Dr. Mario Online Rx}}'', which is a game for [[Wii]]'s {{s|nwiki|WiiWare}}. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', he is an [[unlockable character]] and returns in that capacity in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' after being absent from the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|intervening game]].


==Character description==
Dr. Mario debuted in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' as an [[unlockable character]], and returns in that capacity in both ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' after being absent from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
[[Image:Dr.Marioartwork.png|thumb|left|100px|Artwork from ''Dr. Mario''.]]
 
Dr. Mario is simply Mario in a doctor's uniform, equipped with his powerful "[[Megavitamins]]" to fight against [[supermariowiki:Virus|viruses]] (Blue, Red and Yellow Viruses). He originated in the 1990 NES/Game Boy game ''Dr. Mario''.
==Origin==
[[File:Dr.Marioartwork.png|thumb|left|100px|Official artwork of Dr. Mario from ''Dr. Mario''. This appearance partially inspired his design for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.]]
Dr. Mario is not a unique character, but rather just [[Mario]] wearing a doctor's garb. According to his [[mariowiki: Dr. Mario (game)|eponymous debut game's]] manual, he took a break from adventuring in order to work in a virus research lab at the {{s|mariowiki|Mushroom Kingdom Hospital}} alongside [[Princess Peach|Nurse Toadstool]].<ref>"I'm Mario. How's it going? Over the last few years, I've been involved in some pretty wild adventures. Now, believe it or not, I work in the virus research lab at the Mushroom Kingdom Hospital." ''Dr. Mario'' instruction manual for NES, page 3.</ref> When an experiment goes wrong, the hospital was flooded with three differently colored types of {{s|mariowiki|Virus}}es.<ref>"One of the experiments has gone out of control.  The viruses are spreading quickly!" ''Dr. Mario'' instruction manual for NES, page 3.</ref> Arming himself with {{s|mariowiki|Megavitamin}}s, a medicine of his own invention<ref>"I have just developed a new vitamin that should be able to take care of it.  I sure hope this stuff works!" ''Dr. Mario'' instruction manual for NES, page 3.</ref>, Dr. Mario sets out to neutralize the outbreak.
 
''Dr. Mario''{{'}}s gameplay sees Dr. Mario throwing Megavitamins into a prescription bottle. Afterward, the player can move and land them on Viruses, which spawn throughout the bottle. [[wikipedia:Tile-matching video game|Connecting a line of four or more]] halves will make those halves disappear. If the other halves were suspended at the time, they will resume falling, but cannot be controlled any more. Connecting a line of three or more halves of Megavitamins to a Virus of the corresponding color, the Virus disintegrates. As such, blue Megavitamins eliminate blue Viruses (known as "Chill" in the ''Nintendo Comics System'' comic), red Megavitamins eliminate red viruses (known as "Fever" in the same comic), and yellow Megavitamins eliminate yellow viruses (known as "Weird" in the comic). Removing all of the Viruses on the screen advances the player to the next level. If the player runs out of Megavitamins or the bottle becomes completely filled with viruses still alive, the game ends. If the player reaches the final level on the highest difficulty, they will see a cutscene of the viruses climbing a tree and being taken in by a UFO, implying that they were not only diseases, but also aliens. The other endings show the same shot of the tree, but instead show bizarre images such as witches, flying books, and triceratopses piloting egg planes. The player can choose two songs, the upbeat ''Fever'' or funky ''Chill'', while later ''Dr. Mario'' games have introduced extra songs such as ''Cube'' and ''Que Que''.
 
All subsequent ''Dr. Mario'' games retain the core gameplay, with some also introducing new mechanics, but only two games feature actual plots - ''{{s|mariowiki|Dr. Mario 64}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Dr. Mario World}}''. Some Dr. Mario games have introduced new doctors, with ''{{s|mariowiki|Dr. Luigi}}'' introducing the titular character, and ''{{s|mariowiki|Dr. Mario Online Rx}}'' introducing doctor [[Mii]]s. ''Dr. Luigi'' also introduces 3 new viruses, who have not been seen since. Multiple ''Dr. Mario'' games have been bundled with other titles, such as ''[[Panel de Pon|Puzzle League]]''; ''[[Tetris]]''; ''Yoshi's Cookie'', or "Germ Buster", a mode based on ''Dr. Mario'' from the {{uv|Brain Age}} series.
 
In ''Dr. Mario 64'', Dr. Mario seeks to reclaim his Megavitamins after they are stolen by {{s|mariowiki|Mad Scienstein}} on behalf of his master, {{s|mariowiki|Rudy}}, both from ''{{s|mariowiki|Wario Land 3}}''. However, Dr. Mario also has to contend with [[Wario]], who seeks to steal the Megavitamins from Mad Scienstein and sell them for money.
 
In ''{{s|mariowiki|Dr. Mario World}}'', the potential of an outbreak in the Mushroom Kingdom first mentioned in ''Dr. Mario'' comes to pass: red, blue and yellow Viruses appear en masse and are joined by the debuting green, light-blue, purple and pink Viruses. In response, Dr. Mario sets out to cure local inhabitants of their infections; beginning with level 11, he is joined by Dr. Peach in her bid to help the [[mariowiki:Toad (species)|Toads]], as well as Dr. [[Bowser]], who wants to cure his minions himself. However, they are also joined by several other doctors (including [[Yoshi]], [[Toad]], {{s|mariowiki|Toadette}}, [[Bowser Jr.]], the [[Koopalings]], Wario, [[Waluigi]], [[Princess Daisy]], [[Rosalina]], [[Luma]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], a [[Goomba]] Tower and the returning Dr. Luigi) and, for the first time in the series, assistants from a variety of species within the ''Mario'' series.
 
Dr. Mario made his ''Mario Kart'' debut in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit}}'' as an outfit, and would later reappear in ''Mario Kart Tour'' alongside Dr. Luigi, Dr. Bowser, and Dr. Peach.
 
Dr. Mario has also made a number of cameos outside of his home series. Most notably, he appears in the [[mariowiki:WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]] series via two {{s|mariowiki|microgame}}s based on his debut game, while his medical garb can be unlocked in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Maker}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Odyssey}}''. In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Dr. Mario is usually depicted as being slower, yet stronger, than his normal self. A trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' attributes his sluggishness to lack of exercise, whereas ''SSB4'' variously attributes this to his white coat or medical doctorate status. In regard to Dr. Mario's raw strength, [[Palutena's Guidance]] attributes it to his knowledge of anatomy.

[[File:Dr. Mario SSBM.jpg|thumb|150px|Dr. Mario, as he appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.]]
Dr. Mario appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' as an [[unlockable character]]. He can be unlocked either by clearing {{SSBM|Classic Mode}} with {{SSBM|Mario}} without using any continues, or by playing 100 [[Versus Mode]] matches.<ref name=Source/> According to ''Super Smash Bros.'' series creator [[Masahiro Sakurai]], he included Dr. Mario because of his liking of the ''Dr. Mario'' series' soundtrack and his desire to include some of its songs for ''Melee''.<ref name=Source/> Although Dr. Mario's design is based off his appearance in ''Dr. Mario'', ''Melee'' modified his design by giving him dark gray pants instead of his traditional white pants.


Dr. Mario appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' as one of the thirteen new characters introduced. He is a secret character and a [[clone]] of {{SSBM|Mario}}. His design is based off the original ''Dr Mario'' game but with black pants instead of white. Dr. Mario is a stronger version of Mario that is supposed to be slower (though in actuality, his speed attributes are either equal to or actually greater than Mario's). While not many significant differences exist between the two characters, there are a few; the main one being that rather than shooting [[Fireball]]s as his [[neutral special move]], he throws [[Megavitamin]]s.  
As a [[clone]] of Mario,<ref name=Source>[https://www.sourcegaming.info/2016/01/16/melee-drmario/ News Flash! Super Smash Bros.: Dr. Mario - Source Gaming]</ref> Dr. Mario has the same moveset; according to Sakurai, however, Dr. Mario's concept involves "the parts that aren't different are the parts that are different."<ref name=Source/> To reflect this, a number of Dr. Mario's moves have aesthetic and mechanical modifications, with three being the most noticeable examples: Dr. Mario's forward smash discharges [[electricity]] instead of producing a small burst of fire, his [[neutral special move]] uses [[Megavitamins]] instead of [[Fireball]]s,<ref name=Source/> and his [[side special move]], [[Super Sheet]], is a white bed sheet that has more vertical range and less horizontal range compared to [[Cape]].<ref name=Source/> On a lesser note, some of Dr. Mario's animations are less energetic and thus make him appear more serious and contemplative, which Sakurai jokingly said "make him seem like an old man."<ref name=Source/>
The subtle differences between Dr. Mario and Mario, in the competitive scene, work to Dr. Mario's favor (mainly his much superior KO power), and place him five places higher on the current [[tier list]].
 
{{clear}}
According to Sakurai, Dr. Mario himself also had his attributes modified,<ref name=Source/> which is reflected in him being stronger than Mario. Although this stronger power was supposed to be counterbalanced by slower speed as noted within Dr. Mario's {{SSBM|Adventure Mode}} trophy, in actuality, almost all of Dr. Mario's speed attributes are equal to Mario's. The only exception is his [[air speed]], which is actually faster than Mario's. Outside of this, the only instance in which Dr. Mario is slower than his normal self is in regard to his neutral attack.
 
Thanks to Dr. Mario's superior KO potential and his mobility being marginally better than Mario's, he has fared better than his normal self within the competitive scene. As such, Dr. Mario is currently ranked 13th out of 26 on the [[tier list]], which places him in the B- tier.

Dr. Mario, like the rest of the playable characters, has three different trophies dedicated to him. The Viruses from the ''Dr. Mario'' game also appear as a trophy. His Classic mode trophy is as follows:
As a playable character, Dr. Mario has three trophies - a normal trophy won beating the {{SSBM|Classic Mode}} with Dr. Mario on any difficulty, and "Smash Red" and "Smash Blue" trophies are acquired by beating the Adventure and All-Star modes, respectively.

Dr. Mario was one of the five playable characters in ''Melee'' who did not return as a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. Instead, his only appearance in the game is as a single sticker that can only be used to power up characters from the ''Mario'' universe and {{SSBB|Yoshi}}. Additionally, he is referenced with the inclusion of "Dr. Mario (Melee)" as an immediately available music track for [[PictoChat]], and the inclusion of "{{SSBBMusicLink|Nintendo|Chill (Dr. Mario)}}" as an unlockable music track for [[Flat Zone 2]].

While Dr. Mario doesn't appear as a playable character, an unfinished character file for him has been uncovered through hacking, as ef_dr_mario.pac. The exact reason why the data is included is unknown, with the most common speculation being that he was intended to be included as a playable character before being cut for whatever reason, or his data was simply imported for referential purposes.
While Dr. Mario does not appear as a playable character, an unfinished character file that makes reference to him exists inside the game's files, called (<code>ef_dr_mario.pac</code>). There is no explanation as to why the data exists; however, it is commonly inferred that he was intended to be included in ''Brawl'''s roster before being scrapped for unknown reasons.

After being absent from ''Brawl'', Dr. Mario returned as an [[unlockable character]] in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''.  He retains the same special moves, but also gains a [[Final Smash]], based on the [[Mario Finale]], but instead using giant [[Megavitamins]].
[[File:Dr. Mario SSB4.png|thumb|Dr. Mario, as he appears in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''.]]
After being absent from ''Brawl'', Dr. Mario returned as an unlockable character in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', becoming the first fighter in the series' history to return as a playable character after skipping a previous installment, and the only one in ''Smash 4'' who is not DLC. His design is now based on a combination of his appearance as of ''Dr. Mario 64'' and the dark gray pants he sported in ''Melee''. Although he was originally planned to be an [[alternate costume]] of {{SSB4|Mario}}, Dr. Mario ultimately retained his status as a [[clone]] late in ''SSB4''{{'}}s development for the purpose of appealing to his ''Melee'' fanbase.<ref>[http://www.gamnesia.com/news/sakurai-explains-why-dr-mario-is-his-own-character-in-smash-bros Sakurai Explains Why Dr. Mario is His Own Character in Smash Bros.]</ref>


Dr. Mario was originally planned to be an alternate costume of {{SSB4|Mario}}, but was given his own character slot later in development for the purpose of appealing to his ''Melee'' fans.
Although Dr. Mario's moveset is mostly unchanged since ''Melee'', he received his own [[Final Smash]] called [[Doctor Finale]]. True to its name, it is Dr. Mario's version of [[Mario Finale]] and fittingly uses a pair of gigantic, intertwining [[Megavitamins]] that deal more damage.


Unlike in ''Melee'', Dr. Mario now properly functions as a stronger, yet slower version of Mario: he still possesses noticeably more power overall than his normal self (which has been increased even further since ''Melee''), but he is now noticeably slower overall. Although Dr. Mario's overall frame data is very fast like Mario's, both his combo game and recovery are noticeably worse than his normal self's, with the latter trait's weakness being attributed to his slower mobility.
These factors have resulted in Dr. Mario's tier status and tournament representation both suffering from a vast downturn compared to his appearance in ''Melee''. To reflect this, Dr. Mario is ranked 48th out of 54 on the [[tier list]], placing him in the F tier and rendering him a low-tier character.

Dr. Mario returns as an unlockable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. He still functions as a stronger and slower version of {{SSBU|Mario}}, yet has nevertheless been marginally decloned: Dr. Mario now has slightly higher [[traction]], a new and significantly stronger back throw, and updated animations for his idle pose and Super Sheet. Aside from these changes, Dr. Mario has also gained a new down aerial, which possesses [[meteor smash]]ing potential like his normal self's forward aerial.
 
Despite the term "Echo Fighter" being used in ''Ultimate'' to denote clones, Dr. Mario is not labeled as such, and no official reason has been given for this oddity. However, it is worth noting that no clone characters introduced before ''SSB4'' are labeled as Echo Fighters.

Dr. Mario (Dr. マリオ, Dr. Mario) is the persona Mario assumes within the eponymous Dr. Mario series. Within his home series, Dr. Mario typically seeks to destroy a variety of dangerous Viruses from harming the inhabitants of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Dr. Mario debuted in Super Smash Bros. Melee as an unlockable character, and returns in that capacity in both Super Smash Bros. 4 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate after being absent from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Origin[edit]

Official artwork of Dr. Mario from Dr. Mario. This appearance partially inspired his design for Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Dr. Mario is not a unique character, but rather just Mario wearing a doctor's garb. According to his eponymous debut game's manual, he took a break from adventuring in order to work in a virus research lab at the Mushroom Kingdom Hospital alongside Nurse Toadstool.[1] When an experiment goes wrong, the hospital was flooded with three differently colored types of Viruses.[2] Arming himself with Megavitamins, a medicine of his own invention[3], Dr. Mario sets out to neutralize the outbreak.

Dr. Mario's gameplay sees Dr. Mario throwing Megavitamins into a prescription bottle. Afterward, the player can move and land them on Viruses, which spawn throughout the bottle. Connecting a line of four or more halves will make those halves disappear. If the other halves were suspended at the time, they will resume falling, but cannot be controlled any more. Connecting a line of three or more halves of Megavitamins to a Virus of the corresponding color, the Virus disintegrates. As such, blue Megavitamins eliminate blue Viruses (known as "Chill" in the Nintendo Comics System comic), red Megavitamins eliminate red viruses (known as "Fever" in the same comic), and yellow Megavitamins eliminate yellow viruses (known as "Weird" in the comic). Removing all of the Viruses on the screen advances the player to the next level. If the player runs out of Megavitamins or the bottle becomes completely filled with viruses still alive, the game ends. If the player reaches the final level on the highest difficulty, they will see a cutscene of the viruses climbing a tree and being taken in by a UFO, implying that they were not only diseases, but also aliens. The other endings show the same shot of the tree, but instead show bizarre images such as witches, flying books, and triceratopses piloting egg planes. The player can choose two songs, the upbeat Fever or funky Chill, while later Dr. Mario games have introduced extra songs such as Cube and Que Que.

All subsequent Dr. Mario games retain the core gameplay, with some also introducing new mechanics, but only two games feature actual plots - Dr. Mario 64 and Dr. Mario World. Some Dr. Mario games have introduced new doctors, with Dr. Luigi introducing the titular character, and Dr. Mario Online Rx introducing doctor Miis. Dr. Luigi also introduces 3 new viruses, who have not been seen since. Multiple Dr. Mario games have been bundled with other titles, such as Puzzle League; Tetris; Yoshi's Cookie, or "Germ Buster", a mode based on Dr. Mario from the Brain Age series.

In Dr. Mario 64, Dr. Mario seeks to reclaim his Megavitamins after they are stolen by Mad Scienstein on behalf of his master, Rudy, both from Wario Land 3. However, Dr. Mario also has to contend with Wario, who seeks to steal the Megavitamins from Mad Scienstein and sell them for money.

In Dr. Mario World, the potential of an outbreak in the Mushroom Kingdom first mentioned in Dr. Mario comes to pass: red, blue and yellow Viruses appear en masse and are joined by the debuting green, light-blue, purple and pink Viruses. In response, Dr. Mario sets out to cure local inhabitants of their infections; beginning with level 11, he is joined by Dr. Peach in her bid to help the Toads, as well as Dr. Bowser, who wants to cure his minions himself. However, they are also joined by several other doctors (including Yoshi, Toad, Toadette, Bowser Jr., the Koopalings, Wario, Waluigi, Princess Daisy, Rosalina, Luma, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, a Goomba Tower and the returning Dr. Luigi) and, for the first time in the series, assistants from a variety of species within the Mario series.

Dr. Mario made his Mario Kart debut in Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit as an outfit, and would later reappear in Mario Kart Tour alongside Dr. Luigi, Dr. Bowser, and Dr. Peach.

Dr. Mario has also made a number of cameos outside of his home series. Most notably, he appears in the WarioWare series series via two microgames based on his debut game, while his medical garb can be unlocked in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Odyssey. In the Super Smash Bros. series, Dr. Mario is usually depicted as being slower, yet stronger, than his normal self. A trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee attributes his sluggishness to lack of exercise, whereas SSB4 variously attributes this to his white coat or medical doctorate status. In regard to Dr. Mario's raw strength, Palutena's Guidance attributes it to his knowledge of anatomy.

In Super Smash Bros.[edit]

In Super Smash Bros., Dr. Mario was briefly mentioned in Mario's biography as one of his many other past professions.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]

As a playable character[edit]

Main article: Dr. Mario (SSBM)
Dr. Mario, as he appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Dr. Mario appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee as an unlockable character. He can be unlocked either by clearing Classic Mode with Mario without using any continues, or by playing 100 Versus Mode matches.[4] According to Super Smash Bros. series creator Masahiro Sakurai, he included Dr. Mario because of his liking of the Dr. Mario series' soundtrack and his desire to include some of its songs for Melee.[4] Although Dr. Mario's design is based off his appearance in Dr. Mario, Melee modified his design by giving him dark gray pants instead of his traditional white pants.

As a clone of Mario,[4] Dr. Mario has the same moveset; according to Sakurai, however, Dr. Mario's concept involves "the parts that aren't different are the parts that are different."[4] To reflect this, a number of Dr. Mario's moves have aesthetic and mechanical modifications, with three being the most noticeable examples: Dr. Mario's forward smash discharges electricity instead of producing a small burst of fire, his neutral special move uses Megavitamins instead of Fireballs,[4] and his side special move, Super Sheet, is a white bed sheet that has more vertical range and less horizontal range compared to Cape.[4] On a lesser note, some of Dr. Mario's animations are less energetic and thus make him appear more serious and contemplative, which Sakurai jokingly said "make him seem like an old man."[4]

According to Sakurai, Dr. Mario himself also had his attributes modified,[4] which is reflected in him being stronger than Mario. Although this stronger power was supposed to be counterbalanced by slower speed as noted within Dr. Mario's Adventure Mode trophy, in actuality, almost all of Dr. Mario's speed attributes are equal to Mario's. The only exception is his air speed, which is actually faster than Mario's. Outside of this, the only instance in which Dr. Mario is slower than his normal self is in regard to his neutral attack.

Thanks to Dr. Mario's superior KO potential and his mobility being marginally better than Mario's, he has fared better than his normal self within the competitive scene. As such, Dr. Mario is currently ranked 13th out of 26 on the tier list, which places him in the B- tier.

Trophies[edit]

Main article: List of SSBM trophies (Super Mario Bros. series)

As a playable character, Dr. Mario has three trophies - a normal trophy won beating the Classic Mode with Dr. Mario on any difficulty, and "Smash Red" and "Smash Blue" trophies are acquired by beating the Adventure and All-Star modes, respectively.

Immaculate in his medical garb, Dr. Mario destroys killer viruses with his amazing vitamin capsules. With his dedicated nurse, Princess Peach, at his side, Dr. Mario spends day and night in his laboratory working on new miracle cures. Somehow, he's managed to keep up with all the new viruses that have arisen over the years.

There's hardly any difference in the abilities of Mario and Dr. Mario, so choosing is largely a matter of taste. Dr. Mario is a tad slower due to his lack of exercise, but his Megavitamins pack a bit more punch than Mario's Fireballs. The capsules travel on a unique trajectory and make a distinct sound on impact.

The differences between Dr. Mario and Mario are more pronounced in some areas than others, but basically they can be played in similar fashion. While it may be hard to spot the contrasts, they do exist. For example, Dr. Mario's Super Sheet is longer and narrower than Mario's Cape, and any opponents hit by Dr. Tornado will fly off in diverse directions.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

Dr. Mario was one of the five playable characters in Melee who did not return as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Instead, his only appearance in the game is as a single sticker that can only be used to power up characters from the Mario universe and Yoshi. Additionally, he is referenced with the inclusion of "Dr. Mario (Melee)" as an immediately available music track for PictoChat, and the inclusion of "Chill (Dr. Mario)" as an unlockable music track for Flat Zone 2.

Unfinished data[edit]

Main article: Beta elements (SSBB)#Fighters

While Dr. Mario does not appear as a playable character, an unfinished character file that makes reference to him exists inside the game's files, called (ef_dr_mario.pac). There is no explanation as to why the data exists; however, it is commonly inferred that he was intended to be included in Brawl's roster before being scrapped for unknown reasons.

In Super Smash Bros. 4[edit]

As a playable character[edit]

Main article: Dr. Mario (SSB4)
Dr. Mario, as he appears in Super Smash Bros. 4.

After being absent from Brawl, Dr. Mario returned as an unlockable character in Super Smash Bros. 4, becoming the first fighter in the series' history to return as a playable character after skipping a previous installment, and the only one in Smash 4 who is not DLC. His design is now based on a combination of his appearance as of Dr. Mario 64 and the dark gray pants he sported in Melee. Although he was originally planned to be an alternate costume of Mario, Dr. Mario ultimately retained his status as a clone late in SSB4's development for the purpose of appealing to his Melee fanbase.[5]

Although Dr. Mario's moveset is mostly unchanged since Melee, he received his own Final Smash called Doctor Finale. True to its name, it is Dr. Mario's version of Mario Finale and fittingly uses a pair of gigantic, intertwining Megavitamins that deal more damage.

Unlike in Melee, Dr. Mario now properly functions as a stronger, yet slower version of Mario: he still possesses noticeably more power overall than his normal self (which has been increased even further since Melee), but he is now noticeably slower overall. Although Dr. Mario's overall frame data is very fast like Mario's, both his combo game and recovery are noticeably worse than his normal self's, with the latter trait's weakness being attributed to his slower mobility.

These factors have resulted in Dr. Mario's tier status and tournament representation both suffering from a vast downturn compared to his appearance in Melee. To reflect this, Dr. Mario is ranked 48th out of 54 on the tier list, placing him in the F tier and rendering him a low-tier character.

NTSC 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.

PAL In Dr. Mario, released in Europe in 1991, Mario threw on a white coat and decided to have a bash at the whole medicine thing. In this game, he's an all-rounder 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.

NTSC 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.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

As a playable character[edit]

Main article: Dr. Mario (SSBU)
Dr. Mario, as he appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Dr. Mario returns as an unlockable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He still functions as a stronger and slower version of Mario, yet has nevertheless been marginally decloned: Dr. Mario now has slightly higher traction, a new and significantly stronger back throw, and updated animations for his idle pose and Super Sheet. Aside from these changes, Dr. Mario has also gained a new down aerial, which possesses meteor smashing potential like his normal self's forward aerial.

Despite the term "Echo Fighter" being used in Ultimate to denote clones, Dr. Mario is not labeled as such, and no official reason has been given for this oddity. However, it is worth noting that no clone characters introduced before SSB4 are labeled as Echo Fighters.
