mode tierlist:
marathon >>> classic = flash > vs. cpu > story > score attack

marathon (endless) is the best thing that ever happened to the series, and i'm surprised future games didn't capitalize on it - except dr. mario world to an extent.

story mode is a cute novelty at first, but going through hard mode without continues for the sake of unlocking vampire wario and metal mario is brutal - and super hard is a joke of a mode that the game doesn't even keep track of score for. don't do it.

This one's probably my favorite Dr. Mario, even though I never beat it

I completed the story mode playing as Wario. It was a daft little story intersected with playing a battle version of Dr Mario. Whilst it was compulsive stuff, it was quite difficult but I soldiered on and thought it was ok.

I think I prefer the NES version of Dr Mario. I played that loads when the NES app was launched on Switch. There's something about this version that hasn't quite clicked. It's pretty much the same game only with added functions and jazzier graphics, but maybe I just prefer the more basic version.

Turns out hard mode is hard; who knew?


A fun way to pass your time on a simple puzzle game.

Beat the story mode for Mario and Wario on Normal. Lots of deaths but made it eventually. Haven't played much of the other modes but will probably check them out eventually. 12/26/21 on Nintendo Switch Online

About as interesting as Dr Mario for the NES. Not even the added modes can make this fun for me.

It's Dr Mario, same as always. This one does have a very nice artstyle that sets it apart though. It's fun, but getting the two character unlocks is rage-inducing. Props to anyone that did it without using save-states.

It's alright, already played it a bunch in NES form.

Don’t know why they even bothered with the story mode tbh…

Bu boss'u yapanın anasını sikeyim. Tüm engelleri bana atıyor, en iyilerini adama atıyor siktiğimin oyunu. 50 kere oynadım, yenedim; siktirin gidin.

Doctor Mario 64 more like Doctor Mario 64

I never liked the Tetris series and Dr. Mario games are too similar. This gets an extra point for being Mario at least

I played it as a little kid way back when, and the main thing that I liked about it is that it was one of the only games my mother would play with me because she only liked puzzle games. I was bad at it, but I still think fondly of it for that reason, even if I didn't have fun with the game on its own.

so why were the enemies from Wario Land 3 in this game again?

dr mario vaccine is just tomato sauce

how did mario get a medical license anyway?

yo they made sixty-four of these?

It is still Dr.Mario but its got a bit more content then the rest of the series. It offers a 4 player mode which is awesome and a pretty cool story mode. There is a very large amount of playable characters which is funny. The game is still base Dr.mario so its simple and basic but still fun. Probably my favorite version of the game.

This is another one where I think I completed it? I'm not 100% sure, but I know I played it.

Either way...it's Dr. Mario. You know the drill at this point.

This game is great for parties or fun matches between friends. Story mode is alright, but the fact you have to clear each stage without a loss to unlock the hidden characters is kinda silly. It's alright


I’d rather have someone sneeze directly in my mouth than try to play this game again. Cheating ass CPU…

Nnnope. I tried, but god, I can't get through the gameplay. It saddens me a lot since this game homages/references Wario Land 3 non-stop, and it makes me depressed.

fun puzzle game, but good lord why is my girlfriend so fucking unreasonably good at this game? I've had a round between us end in under 20 seconds...

I don't think I've ever gotten as angry playing a puzzle game as I did with Dr. Mario 64.

This whole game confounds me. Why are the CPU players so frustratingly difficult to fight? What is even going on with the bizarre "plot" in the story mode? Why is it full of C-list Wario Land characters instead of more typical Mario characters? I'm just so mystified. Couldn't you have just done a roster of characters more akin to the Mario Kart or Party games of the era?

At the end of the day, Dr. Mario 64 plays fine and looks decent... but I don't know if I would ever want to go back.
