Dr. Tornado (ドクタートルネード, Dr. Tornado) is Dr. Mario's down special move in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. 4. He does an out-stretched arm spin and ends it with a stronger hit via an open-body bash. Dr. Mario is able to hover in the air when using this attack by repeatedly tapping the B Button. The move can gather various amounts of vertical height. It also has much more horizontal movement when used on the ground instead of the air.
Dr. Tornado has the same effect as the Mario Tornado, except that it is a little stronger in terms of damage, has a lighter pull (and thus is able to rack up more hits if spaced properly), and the final attack sends opponents flying in a random direction rather than straight up (in Melee). Additionally, Dr. Mario doesn't yell "Yahoo!" or "Yee-haw!" when performing the attack, unlike Mario.
In Smash 4, Dr. Tornado deals less damage but has more knockback on the last hit, capable of KOing at high percents. It's also harder to break out of and has a much longer duration, while also having more range at startup. The opponent is launched either diagonally left or right depending on which side of Dr. Mario they are on.

| "Spins repeatedly. You can move sideways while spinning and press the button repeatedly to rise." | "A rapid spin that creates wind and launches foes. Rises high, but can't move very far horizontally." | "A spin that launches opponents you collide with. Slow, but has high launching power." |
- Dr. Tornado: Default.
- Soaring Tornado (known as Launching Tornado in the PAL version): A rapidly spinning move that launches Dr. Mario into the air. It has much greater vertical mobility, at the cost of horizontal movement. However, the move's hitboxes except for the last hit is replaced with a wind hitbox. Despite this, the last hit of Soaring Tornado deals 2% more than the last hit of Dr. Tornado for 6%, while also having much more KO potential and priority in some cases.
- Clothesline Tornado: The move has less mobility and duration; however, it has significantly greater knockback.
