Dr. Tornado is Dr. Mario's down special move in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. 4. Dr. Tornado has the same effect as the Mario Tornado, except that it is a little stronger. The special attack traps the victim into a tornado, punches them constantly, and then smashes them up into the air when the move is done. The attack can also very lightly pull someone near into the Tornado. Unlike Mario Tornado, Dr. Tornado throws them in a random direction, rather than straight up. Dr. Mario is able to hover in the air when using this attack by repeatedly tapping the B Button while using it. Additionally, Dr. Mario doesn't yell "Yahoo!" or "Yee-haw!" when performing the attack, unlike Mario, though he still says it when using his back throw; in Smash 4, he says "hm", which Mario says when using F.L.U.D.D..
Customization
Special Move customization was introduced in Super Smash Bros. 4. The variations depend on the character that is being customized.
- Soaring Tornado: A rapidly spinning move that launches Dr. Mario into the air. It has much greater vertical mobility, at the cost of horizontal movement. However, this move deals less damage and knockback to fors than a regular Dr. Tornado.
- Clothesline Tornado: The move has less mobility and duration; however, it has significantly more knockback.
