It's Dr. Mario for an intense new challenge! Mario throws multi-coloured vitamin capsules into a bottle that contains an ugly variety of nasty viruses. You can move, shift or spin a capsule as they fall. Arrange them to align with other capsules on top of the virus If you get 4 or more of the same colour in a row. POOF! They disappear!

Title
i adore dr mario’s core gameplay, but this probably isn’t the best way to experience it. which is a shame!! the spritework is awesome and hip tanaka’s tunes def sound incredible here in their original chiptune form, especially chill

it rly just comes down to the quality of life stuff. i feel like the controls aren’t as responsive as i’d like them to be, and this basically causes the later virus levels on high speed to be damn near impossible without some very lucky rng. like once a pill touches ground, that’s it lol

just like tetris, there’s rly not much of a reason to go back to these early iterations of puzzle games. in terms of game feel and playability, later versions have pretty much objective improvements that make these ones obsolete. obvs all the respect for being the original, but i’ll probably stick to dr mario 64 or the gba version

    No I haven't. Is it really fun to play Dr. Mario competitively?

      Like nearly every game, it's better played with a friend.Even games as archaic as Combat become really fun.

    Genuinely don't get where this rating comes from. Dr. mario is in a "big 4" with tetris, lumines, and puyo puyo.

    Repeatably throwing pills at the problem to win?

    This sure is a doctor simulator if I've ever seen one.
