Dr. Mario Updated January 1, 2002 Among the model change characters, Dr. Mario was designed under the idea of "not different is different". In Smash Bros., you always have to put a feature unique to the character. Model change characters are no exception. Even if the underlying animations and special moves are unchanged, each character needs its own playstyle, performance, and personality. But, since Dr. Mario is the same person as Mario, you can't change too much. That is, just because you change your clothes doesn't mean you can suddenly run much faster or jump half as high. If you have two very similar characters, would people choose one over the other for their subtle differences? In fact, shouldn't people who say "They're the same" and "Not even close" be about even? (Do the latter!) Also, Dr. Mario, a name from which the title of "Doctor" is clear, is hard-wired to be calm and collected so that he can focus entirely on his work, and as such, doesn't distract himself by constantly yelling out slang, even if there is a time and place for that sort of thing. Practice all characters well. Also, once Dr. Mario was added, I had to add the Dr. Mario music into Smash Bros. That's one reason, anyways...

Dose, dose. ▲The counter is a sheet instead of a cape. It's longer, thinner, and stronger. ▲Battle of black and white. Rumour has it, one of these doctors is unlicensed. ▲Many attacks have different properties. ▲Compared to Mario, this is more of an old man's gesture.
