Upon ''SSB4''{{'}}s release, Dr. Mario's weaknesses and inability to successfully adapt to ''SSB4''{{'}}s game physics saw him widely perceived as a low-tier or even bottom-tier character. Despite his poor perception, {{Sm|Nairo}} surprisingly used Dr. Mario for some matches at [[MLG World Finals 2015]] alongside {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}}. This notably resulted in a set against {{Sm|ESAM}} that concluded with Nairo winning 3-0 against him in Losers Finals after using Dr. Mario to defeat ESAM's {{SSB4|Pikachu}} for the first two matches, and his {{SSB4|Samus}} for their final match. Other professionals, such as {{Sm|2ManyCooks}}, would also proceed to achieve decent results with him. | Upon ''SSB4''{{'}}s release, Dr. Mario's weaknesses and inability to successfully adapt to ''SSB4''{{'}}s game physics saw him widely perceived as a low-tier or even bottom-tier character.

Despite these flashes of success, as well as vocal support of Dr. Mario because of his particular strengths, his metagame has remained stagnant because of his tournament results and representation being among the most sparse in the game. These aspects have been reflected in Dr. Mario's tier placement, in which he was ranked 45th on the first [[tier list]], before dropping to 48th on the second tier list. After Dr. Mario's best player, 2ManyCooks, dropped him in favor of Mario, he dropped to 51st on the third tier list. However, the efforts of {{Sm|B7Games}} have seen Dr. Mario rise to 49th on the fourth and current tier list. | Despite these flashes of success, as well as vocal support of Dr. Mario because of his particular strengths (namely, Super Jump Punch combos, his potentially rather potent combo game, and his frame data being largely identical to {{SSB4|Mario}}'s, which some argue are enough to grant Dr. Mario a niche over Mario in certain macthups)his metagame has remained stagnant because of his tournament results and representation being among the most sparse in the game.
