In the 1990 puzzle game Dr. Mario, Mario threw on a white coat and decided to take a shot at that whole "medicine" thing. In this game, he's a balanced fighter who can throw Megavitamin capsules and nimbly deflect blows with his Super Sheet. He's not quite as quick as normal Mario, but his attacks deal a bit more damage.

Gameplay

Dr. Mario is agile and has a diverse set of moves that can help him overcome much faster and more powerful opponents. He is basically patterned after Mario with some slight differences. Dr. Mario is considered more powerful than his original version but his jump and movement speed is lower.

The Megavitamins he throws are good distracting projectiles since they don't follow a straight trajectory upon launch. Dr. Mario can even launch these while in the air. One of Dr. Mario's most useful moves is Dr. Tornado which is a good multi-hit move that can be used both for attack and recovery. Dr. Mario's Super Sheet is equivalent to Mario's cape. While the two of them functions the same, the Super Sheet seems to have a larger vertical range to reflect projectiles. Super Jump is also a good way to surprise aggressive opponents since its initial damage is higher at the start of the jump.

Dr. Mario's Super Jump Punch can help him in most situations, especially in vertical falls. You can slightly steer the direction of the jump to the left or right but this leaves you in a helpless fall state. For horizontal recovery, Dr. Tornado is a good move to cover good amount of distance while saving your double jump limit.
