About Dr. Mario
Dr. Mario is a puzzle game from 1990 in which Mario takes on the role of a doctor. It is a falling block game, and players drop two-colored capsules into a bottle-shaped playfield filled with viruses in three colors. The game is presented from a side view and supports single player, multiplayer, and split screen modes.
Players rotate and move each capsule as it falls, lining up matching colors so that groups of four or more are cleared. Strategy comes from deciding where to place each capsule so the playfield does not back up toward the narrow neck of the bottle. The game is part of the Dr. Mario and Super Mario series, and it is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB and PEGI 3.
Dr. Mario was developed by Nintendo and published by Nintendo and Playtronic. It first appeared on the Family Computer and Nintendo Entertainment System, and it has since been released on arcade hardware and the Wii U.
