Dr. Mario (ドクターマリオ, Dokutā Mario) is a 1990 Mario action puzzle video game designed by Gunpei Yokoi and produced by Takahiro Harada. Nintendo developed and published the game for the Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy consoles. The game's soundtrack was composed by Hirokazu Tanaka.

The game focuses on the player character Mario, who assumes the role of a doctor and is tasked with eradicating deadly viruses. In this falling block puzzle game, the player is tasked with destroying the viruses populating the on-screen playing field with the use of colored capsules that are dropped into the field. The player manipulates the capsules as they fall so that they are aligned with viruses of matching colors, which removes them from play. The player progresses through the game by eliminating all the viruses on the screen in each level.

Dr. Mario received positive reception, appearing on several "Best Nintendo Games of All Time" lists. The game was either ported, remade, or has had a sequel on every Nintendo home console since the NES as well as most portable consoles, including a re-release in 2004 on the Game Boy Advance as part of the Classic NES Series. Modified versions of Dr. Mario were included as minigames in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames! and Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day!.

Gameplay

Dr. Mario focuses on eliminating the viruses in the playing field by aligning them with capsules of matching color.

In Dr. Mario, a falling block tile-matching video game,[13] the fictional character Mario assumes the role of a doctor, dropping two-colored medical capsules into a medicine bottle representing the playing field. This area is populated by viruses of three colors: red, yellow, and blue. In a manner considered similar to Tetris,[14] the player manipulates each capsule as it falls, moving it left or right and rotating it such that it is positioned alongside the viruses and any existing capsules. When four or more capsule halves or viruses of matching color are aligned in vertical or horizontal configurations, they are removed from play. The main objective is to complete levels, which is accomplished by eliminating all viruses from the playing field. A game over occurs if capsules fill up the playing field in a way that obstructs the bottle's narrow neck.[15]

Players can select the degree of starting difficulty any time a new game is started. The initial level chosen is a value between zero and twenty that determines the number of viruses to clear, and the three game speed options change how fast the capsules fall in the bottle. The player's score is based solely on the elimination of viruses, not on the time taken to complete the level or the number of capsules used. If players complete the highest difficulty level, they can continue playing to accumulate a higher score, but the number of viruses to clear remains the same. Additional points are awarded when multiple viruses are eliminated at once, but no additional points are awarded for initiating chain reactions, in which the elimination of one set of objects triggers the elimination of another set. The game speed is also a factor in how the game calculates scoring; higher speed levels yield more points.[15]

Multiplayer

Dr. Mario offers a multiplayer mode in which two players compete against each other in separate playing fields. In this mode, the player's goal is to clear their own playing field of viruses before the other player does. Eliminating multiple viruses or initiating chain reactions can cause additional capsules to fall onto the opponent's playing field. A player wins a single game upon eliminating all the viruses or if the other playing field fills up. The first player to win three games wins overall.[15]

Development and releases

Dr. Mario was designed by Gunpei Yokoi, creator of the Game Boy and Game & Watch handheld systems,[11] and produced by Takahiro Harada, who also acted as producer of the Metroid series.[10] The game's music, later re-used and arranged in games such as Super Smash Bros. Brawl, was composed by Hirokazu Tanaka, who later became president of Creature Inc., a subsidiary of Nintendo that owns one-third of the copyright regarding the Pokémon franchise.[12]

Re-releases

A Vs. Dr. Mario arcade machine

Dr. Mario spawned a number of remakes and ports that were released on various Nintendo consoles. The original version's multiplayer portion was ported to two Nintendo arcade systems in 1990: the Nintendo Vs. System (under the title Vs. Dr. Mario) and the PlayChoice-10.[2][3] The NES version was ported twice to the Game Boy Advance: first in 2004 as one of thirty games in the Classic NES Series (known as the Famicom Mini Series in Japan),[16] then bundled with a version of the Puzzle League series in 2005 under the title Dr. Mario & Puzzle League.[17] On May 20, 2003, Nintendo released the "Nintendo GameCube Preview Disc" for the Nintendo GameCube, which allows players to download the NES version of Dr. Mario to their Game Boy Advance consoles using the Nintendo GameCube–Game Boy Advance cable.[18]

An enhanced remake of Dr. Mario was paired with Tetris in the Super Nintendo Entertainment System compilation game Tetris & Dr. Mario, released on December 30, 1994.[19] This version of Dr. Mario was re-released in Japan on March 30, 1997, as a downloadable title for the Satellaview, an add-on for the Super Famicom, under the name Dr. Mario BS Version (Ｄｒ．マリオＢＳ版).[7] It was re-released again in Japan as a downloadable game for the Super Famicom's and Game Boy's Nintendo Power cartridges.[8][20]

On July 27, 2011, for the twenty-first anniversary of the initial release, the original Game Boy version was made available on the Nintendo 3DS's Virtual Console service for download in Japan.[6] It was later released in Europe on March 22, 2012.[6]

Reception

While parents were critical of the premise due to its inclusion of medicine in a children's game,[28] Dr. Mario and its re-releases received generally favorable reviews. One notably negative review, by ACE, scored the Game Boy version 510/1000.[n 1] It criticizes the game's uninspiring graphics and repetitive play. The review also says the game "reeks of plagiarism", stating it is worse than the original games it is modelled after.[29]

Dr. Mario is rated the 134th best game released on a Nintendo system in Nintendo Power's Top 200 Games list,[30] by ScrewAttack as the seventh best Mario game of all time,[31] and by IGN as the 51st best NES game of all time.[32] IGN also rates the game's soundtrack, composed by Hirokazu Tanaka, as seventh in its list of the top ten greatest 8-Bit soundtracks.[33]

The Game Boy Advance re-release as part of the Classic NES series holds a rating of 66% on Metacritic based on 10 reviews.[22] Most reviews point out the game's addictiveness and praise the addition of wireless multiplayer, but some question the relevance of the game's re-release as a standalone title. Eurogamer said the game was "still as playable, addictive and maddening as it was back in 1990" but criticized Nintendo for re-releasing classic games as standalone titles in the Classic NES Series instead of as a compilation, like Atari's Atari Anthology or Midway's Midway Arcade Treasures.[34] Craig Harris, in his review for IGN, sarcastically expressed unease over the game's use of medicine. He enjoyed the addictive gameplay, but criticized the black-and-white manual which made it difficult to understand the color-based gameplay mechanics.[25] While 1UP.com notes that the game's "color-matching action is more engrossing than Mario Bros.' turtle-punching platform hopping", the reviewer strongly questions whether this re-release is worth its sale price by itself when a version of Dr. Mario was included in another Game Boy Advance game, WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames!.[35]

Legacy

Following the commercial success of this game, Nintendo released several follow-up titles in the Dr. Mario series. Dr. Mario 64, released in 2001 for the Nintendo 64, features Wario and several Wario Land 3 characters, and offers numerous game modes, including a story-focused single player mode. The game also supports simultaneous multiplayer for up to four players at once. Dr. Mario 64 was subsequently released in Japan in the compilation game Nintendo Puzzle Collection on the Nintendo GameCube. Dr. Mario Online Rx, released in 2008 on WiiWare, offers online multiplayer via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The most recent title, Dr. Mario Express, released in 2009 for the Nintendo DSi, does not support multiplayer gameplay.

The character of Dr. Mario appears as a secret fighter in the 2001 fighting game Super Smash Bros. Melee, where he attacks by throwing capsules.[36] The game's sequel, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, features the original version of Dr. Mario's "Fever" background music theme and a version of the "Chill" theme arranged by Masaaki Iwasaki, who had previously composed for Magical Drop as part of the Data East Sound Team.[37][38]

A version of the game called Dr. Wario, which replaces Mario's character with Wario, is included as an unlockable minigame in the Game Boy Advance game WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames!.[39] A simplified version of Dr. Mario also appears in the Nintendo DS game Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day! as a minigame called "Virus Buster," which is played by using the system's touch screen to drag the capsules around the playing field.[40]
