Overview

Dr. Mario lifts the opponent on his shoulders and then throws them away, similarly to throws used in wrestling. It's one of the strongest throws in the game, even competing with Ness's back throw, and compared to Mario's, it's faster and thus, more reliable for KOing. Unlike Mario's back throw, however, it can't hit bystanders.
