''Melee'' marks Dr. Mario's first 3D appearance as well as his first appearance in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, as he stems from a series of ''Mario'' puzzle games. As a [[clone]] of {{SSBM|Mario}}, Dr. Mario and Mario have nearly identical movesets with obvious differences in attack physics. Dr. Mario's voice consists of the same voice clips regular Mario has; they come from ''Super Mario 64'' and were originally performed by Charles Martinet. | ''Melee'' marks Dr. Mario's first 3D appearance as well as his first appearance in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, as he stems from a series of ''Mario'' puzzle games.

Dr. Mario currently ranks 13th on the ''Melee'' [[tier list]], at the end of B- tier, two places higher than Mario's rank and his best placement in the series. His [[combo]] ability possesses unique qualities, such as an unusual-functioning reverse-[[sex kick]]. His [[approach]] options are also very good, with a long [[wavedash]] and a good air game, as well as a very good [[SHFFL]]. Dr. Mario also has a good [[projectile]], which itself can be used to aid his approach while subsequently keeping away others. However, Dr. Mario's primary weakness is his abysmal [[recovery]], which is one of the worst in the game, due to its predictability, few methods of increasing its distance, and limited ways to mix up recovery to deal with [[edgeguarding]]. Dr. Mario also suffers from lack of range in his attacks, leaving him vulnerable against characters with disjointed hitboxes such as {{SSBM|Marth}}. Overall, Dr. Mario is considered to have acceptable matchups in Melee, albeit with some difficulties in handling high tiered characters. | Dr. Mario currently ranks 13th on the ''Melee'' [[tier list]], at the end of B- tier, two places higher than Mario's rank and his best placement in the series.
