About Vs. Dr. Mario
Dr. Mario throws multi-colored vitamin capsules into a bottle to eliminate viruses by aligning four or more matching colors in a row. This arcade version removes the Slow mode found in the NES release and utilizes a less generous scoring system where each virus is worth only 200 points more than the previous one.
Player layout in our catalog: 2P sim.
