Dr. Mario (Dr. マリオ, Dokutā Mario) is a doctor-costumed version of Mario that is the star of his eponymous game for the NES, Game Boy, and SNES. He also stars in Dr. Mario 64 for the Nintendo 64, Dr. Mario and Puzzle League for the Game Boy Advance, and in Dr. Mario Online Rx, which is a game for Wii's WiiWare. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, he is an unlockable character.
Character description
Dr. Mario is simply Mario in a doctor's uniform, equipped with his powerful "Megavitamins" to fight against viruses (Blue, Red And Yellow Viruses). He originated in the 1990 NES/Game Boy game Dr. Mario.
In Super Smash Bros.
In the original, Dr. Mario was briefly mentioned in Mario's biography, among his many other past professions.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee
As a Playable Character
Dr. Mario appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee as one of the thirteen new characters introduced. He is a secret character and considered to be a "clone" of Mario's. Dr. Mario is a slower, yet stronger version of Mario. While not many significant differences exist between the two characters, there are a few - the main one being that rather than shooting Fireballs as his Neutral B move, he throws Megavitamins. The subtle differences between Dr. Mario and Mario, in the competitive scene, work to Dr. Mario's favor and place him slightly higher on the current tier list.
Trophies
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:
Dr. Mario 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.
- Dr. Mario, 10/90
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Songs
Dr. Mario receives representation in Brawl with two songs:
- Dr. Mario (Melee) - Starter song for PictoChat
- Chill (Dr. Mario) - Unlockable song for Flat Zone 2
Sticker
He also has a sticker in Brawl compatible to Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser and Yoshi.
Hacking
Hacking has revealed partial programmed data in Brawl for Dr. Mario. Some take this as signs of a planned character, but it is also likely (if not more so) that it was there for referential purposes by the programmers, or data imported from Super Smash Bros. Melee. He also may have been an alternate costume for Mario.
