Dr. Mario is an action puzzle game developed and published by Nintendo in 1990 for the SNES. As Mario in his medical gear, your goal is to eradicate the viruses infesting the playing field by tossing in two-colored vitamin capsules. You must rotate and align the capsules to create vertical or horizontal lines of four or more matching colorsโred, blue, or yellowโto eliminate the viruses and clear the bottle.
How to play
Your objective is to destroy all the viruses on the screen before the bottle fills up to the top. Align the falling capsules with the viruses to match four of the same color.

Tips
- Watch the next capsule: Always keep an eye on the preview box to plan your next move before the current capsule lands.
- Create chain reactions: When a half-capsule falls after clearing a line, use it to set up combos that clear multiple viruses at once.
- Build horizontally: Horizontal clears are often safer than vertical ones, as they don’t block the top of the bottle and can sometimes take out adjacent viruses.
