Dr. Mario (SSBU)/Down aerial

Hitbox visualization showing Dr. Mario's down aerial. While the hitbox is correct, the visualization has issues with the model, as Dr. Mario has a second pair of eyebrows, his mouth is missing and the stethoscope moving inside his pant legs.

This article or section may require competitive expertise. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Overview

Dr. Mario violently stomps below him with both feet, similarly to Captain Falcon and Ganondorf's down aerials. While it has noticeable startup at frame 16, tied with forward aerial for his slowest attack in terms of startup, it lasts for four frames, has low ending lag and can autocancel in a short hop. It has two hitboxes, located on his feet and body respectively and deals 14% with great knockback. The hitbox located at Dr. Mario's chest launches the opponents at the Sakurai angle, while the hitbox on his legs and feet is a strong meteor smash. Compared to Ganondorf and Captain Falcon's version, it's faster, but has less range due to Dr. Mario's short stature.
