After being absent from ''Brawl'', Dr. Mario returned as an unlockable character in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. Although he was originally planned to be an [[alternate costume]] of {{SSB4|Mario}}, Dr. Mario ultimately retained his status as a [[clone]] late in ''SSB4''{{'}}s development for the purpose of appealing to his ''Melee'' fanbase.<ref>[http://www.gamnesia.com/news/sakurai-explains-why-dr-mario-is-his-own-character-in-smash-bros Sakurai Explains Why Dr. Mario is His Own Character in Smash Bros.]</ref>

After being absent from ''Brawl'', Dr. Mario returned as an unlockable character in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', becoming the first fighter in the series' history to return as a playable character after being cut from a previous inatallment (and before Ultimate, he also had the distinction of being the only non-DLC fighter with this characteristic).

Although Dr. Mario's moveset is mostly unchanged since ''Melee'', he received his own [[Final Smash]] called [[Doctor Finale]]. True to its name, it is Dr. Mario's version of [[Mario Finale]] and fittingly uses a pair of gigantic, intertwining [[Megavitamins]] that deal more damage. His design is also now based on a combination of his appearance as of ''Dr. Mario 64'' and the dark gray pants he sported in ''Melee''.
