Dr. Mario is a puzzle video game developed by Nintendo, starring the famous Mario character, but instead of jumping and running, the good doctor fights viruses in a very peculiar way.
The aim of the game is to eliminate the viruses that invade the game board. To do this, Dr. Mario throws coloured capsules upwards and you must match at least three capsules of the same colour vertically or horizontally with the corresponding viruses to eliminate them.
As you progress, the speed increases and the challenges become more complicated.
In addition to the viruses, there are also different obstacles in the form of blocks that you have to remove to clear a path, but be careful! If the viruses accumulate too much or reach the top of the screen, it's game over!
The game features several game modes, including classic mode, where you must beat increasingly difficult levels, and versus mode, where you can take on other players online or locally to see who is the best at eliminating viruses.
Dr. Mario is a fun and addictive game that will keep you entertained while you exercise your puzzle-solving skills.
