+===Tier placement and history===
+Initially, Dr. Mario was considered an inferior version of Mario due to his slower attacks and worse recovery, with Mario ranked higher than Dr. Mario in the tier list (usually one spot above Dr. Mario). Many smashers such as {{Sm|Captain Jack}} began to show Dr. Mario's better attributes, such as better punish options than Mario. In 2005, Dr. Mario was recognized as a better character than Mario, placing at least one spot higher than him in the tier lists to come. However, even with evolutions in Dr. Mario's game, representation of him at tournaments was not very notable, with rarely anyone placing high enough to win money just using Dr. Mario.
+It was not until 2011 when {{Sm|Shroomed}} showed Dr. Mario's powerful grab game and projectile game, placing consistently in top 8 at national tournaments such as [[Apex 2013]] and [[EVO 2013]]. Although Shroomed no longer uses Dr. Mario in tournament, Dr. Mario was still considered a solid high tiered character, sitting at 9th place at the top of the high tier in the eleventh tier list. However, his results have been worse as of late, with Shroomed himself stating metagame trends do not favor Dr. Mario as much. In spite of {{Sm|Franz}}’s success with the character, such as in {{Trn|Mainstage}} and {{Trn|GENESIS 5}}, Dr. Mario has fallen to 13th place in the current tier list, at the end of B- tier.
