Dr. Mario is an unlockable character in Mushroom Kingdom Showdown. He was added in v.0.5 as a clone character of Mario. It's often debated about whether if Dr. Mario is a full clone of Mario or not since his special moves function aesthetically differently.

Attacks[]

Basic Moveset:[]

  • Punch: By pressing the attack button, Dr. Mario will punch twice topped with lag at the end. This melee attack does 2 damage.
  • Cover: By pressing down and the attack button, Dr. Mario will cross his arms very quickly. This melee attack does 3 damage.
  • Aerial Kick: While in the air and pressing the attack button, Dr. Mario will do the exact same move as what Mario does in the air. This melee attack does 3 damage.
  • Corkscrew Dive: While running and pressing the attack button, Dr. Mario will spin around and leap at his enemy. This melee attack does 1-4 damage.

Skin Swaps[]

Dr. Mario has 4 skin swaps in the game: Red Dr. Mario, Black Dr. Mario, Brown Dr. Mario, and Teal Dr. Mario.

Attributes[]

Dr. Mario is ranked 22nd in the tier list in the D tier, the lowest of the middleweights and the lowest of the Mario clones. Dr. Mario has one of the worst movesets in the game, having a jab with a lot of unnecessary ending lag, a down special that's hard to aim, and a dash attack that goes way too far across the stage (though its a decent escape move). On the other hand, he has a good projectile (that's best used on the ground, however), a decent crouching attack that activates really quickly, an amazing up special, and has some decent power. But however, Dr. Mario sadly isn't as practical as Mario or S. Mario because of his lackluster move-set and not being very viable compared to them.

Techniques[]

Firewalling[]

When Dr. Mario launches a pill against a wall, it will bounce off of it. The pill will bounce back behind Dr. Mario. If you're too close to the wall, it will pass through. This also works with Mario.

Firewalling

Dr. Mario throwing a Pill at the wall (or firewalling).
