Although subsequent ''Dr. Mario'' games retain the core gameplay, with some also introducing new mechanics, only two other installments feature actual story modes like the first installment. In ''{{s|mariowiki|Dr. Mario 64}}'', Dr. Mario seeks to reclaim his Megavitamins after they are stolen by {{s|mariowiki|Mad Scienstein}} on behalf of his master, {{s|mariowiki|Rudy}}. However, Dr. Mario also has to contend with [[Wario]], who seeks to steal the Megavitamins from Mad Scienstein and sell them for money. | Although subsequent ''Dr. Mario'' games retain the core gameplay, with some also introducing new mechanics, only two other installments feature actual story modes like the first installment.

In ''{{s|mariowiki|Dr. Mario World}}'', the potential of an outbreak in the Mushroom Kingdom first mentioned in ''Dr. Mario'' comes to pass: red, blue and yellow Viruses appear en masse and are joined by the debuting green, light-blue, purple and pink Viruses. In response, Dr. Mario sets out to cure local inhabitants of their infections; beginning with level 11, he is joined by Dr. Peach in her bid to help the [[mariowiki:Toad (species)|Toads]], as well as Dr. [[Bowser]], who wants to cure his minions himself. However, they are also joined by several other doctors (including [[Luigi]], [[Yoshi]], [[Toad]], {{s|mariowiki|Toadette}}, [[Bowser Jr.]], [[Koopalings | In ''{{s|mariowiki|Dr. Mario World}}'', the potential of an outbreak in the Mushroom Kingdom first mentioned in ''Dr. Mario'' comes to pass: red, blue and yellow Viruses appear en masse and are joined by the debuting green, light-blue, purple and pink Viruses.

Dr. Mario has also made a number of cameos outside of his home series. Most notably, he appears in the [[mariowiki:WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]] series via two {{s|mariowiki|microgame}}s based on his debut game, while his medical garb can be unlocked in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Maker}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Odyssey}}''. | Dr. Mario has also made a number of cameos outside of his home series.

In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Dr. Mario is usually depicted as being slower, yet stronger, than his normal self. A trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' attributes his sluggishness to lack of exercise, whereas ''SSB4'' variously attributes this to his white coat or medical doctorate status. In regard to Dr. Mario's raw strength, [[Palutena's Guidance]] attributes it to his knowledge of anatomy. | ||
