This time, Mario brings his medical knowledge to the <strong>world of mobile gaming in Dr. Mario World.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you played Dr. Mario for the NES or Gameboy, you probably are familiar with the capsule stacking gameplay where you simply align four colors in a row.<\/p>\n<p>This game is a little different from the original. Instead, capsules you throw float up to the surface where they take out viruses. If you were hoping to bring the original classic game to your smartphone, you&#8217;re out of luck. This game looks and feels way different. Luckily, the insanely catchy Dr. Mario theme is still there.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-144314\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/ezgif.com-video-to-gif_5_bez6fp.gif\" alt=\"Dr. Mario World\" width=\"350\" height=\"622\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, even though it is different from the classic Dr. Mario, there are still a lot of fun new additions. For example, <strong>you can play as other characters including Bowser, Peach, Yoshi, and Toad!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>There are also power-ups<\/strong> you can add use such as bombs and shells.<strong> Each playable character also has a unique ability<\/strong> to help you in each level.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Dr. Mario World\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-logo-l,f_auto,dpr_auto\/p\/15109b93-e4bf-4116-94ba-4cb8731b76c9\/1643704999\/dr-mario-world-icon.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Dr. Mario World<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/dr-mario-world.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download now \u25ba<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--100\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"100\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"10\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\">10<\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/dr-mario-world.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>Because it&#8217;s a free mobile game, there are some annoying things in the game to help it make money. <strong>There&#8217;s in-game currency you can buy with real-world money<\/strong>.
