A refreshing spin on the Mario saga, Dr. Mario World is a challenging puzzle game that offers a new kind of adventure with your favorite characters.

Doctor in the House

Get ready for a different kind of challenge with Dr. Mario World. Everyone's much-loved plumber has traded his overalls for a lab coat and is ready to guide you through a unique and fun puzzle game. Rather than your typical platform and adventure game, here the aim is to eliminate nasty viruses by matching capsules on a puzzle board.

The premise is simple. The world of Dr. Mario is teeming with colorful viruses, and it's your duty to cure the world by matching these viruses with equally vibrant healing capsules. Here, prevention really is more effective than a cure.

A Colorful Cure

The gameplay of Dr. Mario World initially appears straightforward. The player must place capsules of matching colors against the corresponding viruses at the top of the board. However, as you delve deeper into the levels, these seemingly harmless viruses become harder to reach due to various obstacles that randomly appear on the board. These blocks prevent a direct shot at the viruses, requiring the player to manoeuvre the capsules around the obstacles.

This might not sound daunting, but the added challenge of a limited number of capsules adds a layer of strategy to the game. The aim is not only to match the capsules and viruses but to do so in as few moves as possible.

Visiting Doctor Friends

It's not all about Dr. Mario in this game, there are other well-known and beloved Mario characters also on hand to aid your quest. Characters such as Dr. Peach and Dr. Bowser appear in the game, each bringing their unique special skills to the mix. Players can switch between characters and utilize their special abilities, adding more depth and excitement to each stage.

As you cure the infected world level by level, stage by stage, you'll also encounter new doctors and their helpful assistants as you reach different worlds infested with pesky viruses.

Time to Relax with Dr. Mario World

Dr. Mario World offers a different but welcome pace from the standard Mario games. Without the need to jump on Koopas or rescue princesses, players can just sit back and enjoy the predicament of matching capsules to viruses. It’s a leisurely yet engaging game that can be enjoyed without causing a player to break into a nervous sweat.
