Final Smash	Doctor Finale

Dr. Mario is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4. He is the first and only previously cut veteran to return in a future installment in the series. Dr. Mario's design has been updated to include the red tie he has had since Dr. Mario 64, while still retaining his black pants from Melee, however, now featuring white cuffs. His hair is a lighter shade of brown.

He retains the Megavitamins, Super Sheet, Super Jump Punch, and Dr. Tornado as his special moves. His Final Smash is similar to Mario Finale, but it instead uses enormous Megavitamins.

Changes from Melee

• Dr. Mario jumps slightly higher.
• Down aerial deals 1% more damage.
• Up smash, up aerial, and forward tilt are faster.
• Pummel deals 4% damage.
• Jab combo is faster.
• Forward smash is notably stronger.
• Super Jump Punch has been given KO potential.
• Back air deals much stronger damage and has more knockback scaling, but less base knockback.
• Dr. Tornado has a faster startup and a slightly longer duration. The move itself is also stronger and harder to escape from. Additionally, Dr. Mario can recover more by mashing B.
  • It has slightly extended ending lag.
• Several of Dr. Mario's other attacks, such as down and up tilts, up aerial, Super Sheet, and Megavitamins, have slightly decreased damage values.
• Dr. Mario's Super Sheet does not move him up at all.
• Down smash deals much less damage.
• Megavitamins are much more brightly colored, lack the see-through half, and appear to be shorter, but more rounded.
• Now has various things that Brawl introduced (or brought back in the first case), such as an on-screen appearance, multiple taunts, and a final smash.
• Dr. Mario now grabs with one hand as opposed to two.
