Epic Win: Dr. Mario


Submitted by K Smith

The success of puzzle game Dr. Mario proved two things: there was life after Tetris and that overmedication is the solution to any ailment. Truly a classic, but it makes you wonder where Mario got his PhD.

  1. ayeka678 says:

    Actually, he would need to be an MD to prescribe medications, not a PhD. Unless Mario was dealing in some seriously illegal items…..

  2. Ronnie says:

    Who plays on Chill? Fever ftw!

  3. Blaster says:

    Blast from the ass

  4. CowKirby says:

    Wow, I just bought this yesterday from the retro videogame store… XD

  5. peanut butter opera says:

    Good game, one of the few NES games that are still a lot of fun to play today.

    • switchbladeknitter says:

      I know! I still have my original working cartridge to play in my non-original (top loading instead of front loading- I cried when my front loading crapped out) NES!

  6. MzHartz says:

    I was the Dr. Mario champion!

  7. whatwhat says:

    I played on Chill when I first had it. I LOVED this game so much – loved the music, too. FTW!

  8. Capt Obvious says:

    I downloaded the DSiWare version of this game free after getting my DSi, and have spent more time playing it than the $150 in other games I own combined.

  9. murialita says:

    I remember I picked this out for Xmas when it first came out. Dad found out about it, didn’t like it (must have thought it was a different type of ‘doctor’ game), and returned it. Couple years later, got it for Xmas. Dad got addicted to it. We would have competitions before I had to go to school to see who could get the furthest. Damn hard when there’s only room for like 5 pills at the start.

  10. Xavier says:

    HAHAHAHA i got the game on my calculator so i can play during any of my math related classes, which is all of them.

  11. Gattsu says:

    Even Dr. Mario falls prey to the “let’s throw a pill at it” mentailty. Loved the game, now I gotta dig it out to play.

  12. torah says:

    this person playing isnt even very good.
    not very good nostalgia at all.
    now if i was playingg…

  13. Brandon says:

    Chill and Fever are both okay, but they don’t compare to Sneeze.

  14. Justin says:

    ayeka678 beat me to it. Dr. Mario has an MD presumably.

    Caption FAIL

  15. He got his MD at the Hollywood Upstairs Medical Academy

  16. Lindsay says:

    This game was also on N64. My mom begs me to play it whenever we have the chance. Dr. Mario is a big win.

  17. JayPea says:

    I used to sneak into my son’s bedroom and play this with the sound off. Sometimes he would wake up and wonder what the heck I was doing! When we moved into our big house, I made sure the Nintendo was in the basement laundry area. I didn’t have to sneak and my kids were right there when the underwear needed folding! Win-Win situation!!

  18. Ronnie says:

    I’m Surprised no one has mentioned Brain Age 2. Playing this game with a stylus is great. Hard mode gives you two pills to move each drop.

  19. Tempestates says:

    I’ve got this on the Wii and have totally kicked its ass on level 50. Yes, I have time on my hands and sometimes I get bored. Plus it entertains my kids.

  20. robrtbll says:

    Dunno Dr. Mrio. Wuz playin space vaders wiz muh ktty, Riff Raff! TiffRaff alway wun! I thnk he cheetd!!!

  21. Samantha says:

    Haha, my parents were both Dr. Mario addicts. I would play against my Mom at level 15 and if I beat her at all three games per set, she’d make me go up a level. I’ve only ever managed to get to level 23 on single player mode … but I won my college championship. The guy who came in 2nd place got major flack for losing to a girl. ;-)

  22. Mantan says:

    I used to be addicted to this game. Funny thing: Is it just me, or is that little blue bug giving the finger to us?

  23. Someguy says:

    Holy Crap! I have been playing this for the past two months, and now I’m reading about it! Awesome!

  24. Alistaro says:

    I remember sucking so bad at this game and continuing to play it for hours on end anyway. I was a huge game nerd from 5 years old to today.

  25. Ninty-Fresh says:

    You should see the theme with lyrics:

    I am doctor Mario and I am saving lives!
    I look different in this game:
    I lost the hat, got a coat, doctor’s light, stethescope,
    I am doctor Mario and I prescribe high-fives! (smacks Toad of the doctor table)
    Laughter’s the best medicine so, BWAH-HA-HA! You fell down!

    See the rest yourself
