'''Dr. Mario''' ({{Ja|Dr. マリオ}}, ''Dokutā Mario'') is a doctor-costumed version of [[Mario]] that was the star of his eponymous game for the [[NES]], [[Game Boy]], and Super NES. He also stars in ''Dr. Mario 64'' for the [[Nintendo 64]] and in ''Dr. Mario Online Rx'', which is a new game for [[Wii]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', he is a selectable character.
==Character description==
Dr. Mario is simply Mario in a doctor's uniform, equipped with his powerful "[[Megavitamins]]" to fight against viruses (Blue, Red And Yellow Viruses). He originated in the 1990 NES/Game Boy game ''[[Dr. Mario (game)|Dr. Mario]]''.
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''==
In the original, Dr. Mario was briefly mentioned in Mario's biography, among his many other past professions.
==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==

===As a Playable Character===
:''Main Article: [[Dr. Mario (SSBM)]]''
Dr. Mario appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' as one of the thirteen new characters introduced.  He is a secret character and considered to be a "[[clone]]" of [[Mario]]'s. Dr. Mario is a slower, yet stronger version of Mario.  While not many significant differences exist between the two characters, there are a few - the main one being that rather than shooting [[Fireball]]s as his [[Neutral B]] move, he throws [[Megavitamin]]s.
The subtle differences between Dr. Mario and Mario, in the competitive scene, work to Dr. Mario's favor and place him slightly higher on the current [[tier list]].
===Trophies===
Dr. Mario, like the rest of the characters, has three different trophies dedicated to him.  The Viruses from the ''Dr. Mario'' game also appear as a trophy. His Classic mode trophy is as follows:

====Dr. Mario====
''Immaculate in his medical garb, Dr. Mario destroys killer viruses with his amazing vitamin capsules. With his dedicated nurse, Princess Peach, at his side, Dr. Mario spends day and night in his laboratory working on new miracle cures. Somehow he's managed to keep up with all the new viruses that have arisen over the years.''

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
===Songs===
Dr. Mario receives representation in ''Brawl'' with two songs:
*''Dr. Mario (Melee)'' - Starter song for [[PictoChat]]
*''Chill (Dr. Mario)'' - Unlockable song for [[Flat Zone 2]]
===Hacking===
Hacking has revealed partial programmed data in ''Brawl'' for Dr. Mario. Some take this as signs of a planned character, but it is also likely (if not more so) that it was there for referential purposes by the programmers, or data imported from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.
==Trivia==
*Dr. Mario, along with [[Pichu]], [[Young Link]], [[Roy]], and [[Mewtwo]], does not return in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.
